Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Room 101's title comes from 1984's worst torture room, which the BBC casually turned into light entertainment. Very British, that.

Trivia

Frank Skinner allegedly kept a 'rejected items' list so long it could've filled three seasons — including his own inclusion at one point.
