Why I Like British Television

Room 101 is a British comedy TV series where three celebrities are invited to discuss their pet peeves and then try to persuade the host to banish them to Room 101—named after the torture room in the George Orwell novel, 1984. Supposedly, that was also the number of a meeting room at the BBC where Orwell sat through numerous, tedious meetings.

Last week’s show had a subject near and dear to many of us:

If you don’t want to watch the whole show, you can fast forward to 11:25 for the important section and then continue watching to see if it was banished or not. (Or just fast forward to 19:20)

I am British, but not really a fan of Room 101, but that was good. Both Ben Fogle and, especially, Frank Skinner have shot up in my estimation! Thanks for that! Personally I use a Tom Bihn Aeronaut - I've had the ballistic one for a few years, but my wife and I tried the new Dyneema one and the matching Tri-Star last week and both loved both of them!
