I thought it was funny. Wish Claudia would show her forehead more often. She looked quite pretty.
Used Homer Simpsons make-up gun to apply all that slap and has been taking extra gurning classes.

Skinner is the presenter of the show and the others are there because if they weren't there'd be no show.
He's still the show

You should know better by now 90% of what Sulla posts is purely for $hits n giggles.
Not so. I am just a humble and modest expert.

Kinda seconded, she'd be an absolute hoot as a mate and she's not stupid either.
Might watch it again later actually.
Too much of the pre prepared gags and not enough guests or Frank naturally bouncing off the guests, I even stopped telling Kane to get off my telly which has never happened before.

Room101 is certainly not as good as the old format. The new format show is mildly entertaining to watch, it's a bit hit and miss with the guests.

I do like Frank Skinner, he is a genuinely clever and funny man, his podcast is good, except that awful Emily Dean, she is neither funny, likeable or interesting. Why they have her on there is a mystery to me.

I wonder if it's time for another format change.

Maybe make it more into a panel game where two teams have give for or against arguments for an item to be banished to Room 101.


Oh wait, that was Argumental.

The first couple of series were good.

The format change and having Lock as the host and Webb & Walsh was no where near as good.

Better than previous week but, although I'm a big fan of her husband's work, Bridget Christie I find as funny as ebola.

Frank Skinner is a fan of the appalling Kardoshes.
My God,

My God,
I haven’t seen last night’s show yet, but are you talking about the Kardashians?

If so, I don’t think Frank is really a fan. Just the other week on his radio show/podcast he thought Kylie Jenner was the one who recently became a woman, when in fact it was Bruce who became Caitlyn Jenner (and Kylie Jenner is his teenage daughter).

Bridget Christie isn't funny in the slightest. I get the impression she thinks she is hilarious

Who even is she? She came up with potentially good Room 101 suggestions, but my god she's boring. I think she tries to go down the "dry wit" avenue and fails miserably.

Watched the compilation show last night. David Tennant's South African accent was probably the highlight of the series.


I still think the show needs a bit of tweaking. I think at least it needs the categories brought back.

They need to bring back the 101 props and instead in the awful bland title thing that pops up now.
The little models were a great part of its appeal.

I would have two guests with three rounds. Well truthfully one guest, but doubt that would happen again

I would agree with that, keep three rounds and three guests but bring back categories as it makes sense when you have three guests and also bring back props .

Three rounds and three guests always seems a bit rushed

The old one-to-one format was good when it worked, but were there ones that didn't work which didn't get shown? With four-way repartee it's easy to fill out a session so you can edit down to half an hour. Sitting there across from one celebrity who's not very witty or given you much to work with must be hell.
Personally I liked TV Heaven, Telly Hell too but that one-to-one had quite a short life

I loved TV Heaven, Telly Hell, Johnny Vegas' one was the best imo, with Lee Mack's a close second.

Vegas also had a classic on the Merton era of 101 with his anecdote about Beauty's Castle.

I've always liked the show but with Frank presenting thee are some seriously awkward moments of 'humour'

This is a light hearted chat show and the categories are irrelevant.

They had an old episode on last night, where both the categories and the props were back
