Please make up my Room 101...
JASON Gardiner was talking about a childhood picture of him on his bike on Dancing On Ice when he said: D.Anderson of Sunderland wins £35 for that howler. Keep ’em coming to the address at the top of the page.
PIERS Morgan interviewed Trump. Yes, that boastful, self-obsessed, divisive & absurd figure…talked to the President.
LILY Allen, the House of Lords, the Met Office and anyone who takes it seriously...
So many things are crying out to be consigned to Room 101 it seems a terrible waste to book nice but dull panellists.
Steven Moffat popped up on Friday even though he’s not a celeb, he wasn’t funny and his pet-hates were lamer than Gregory House.
The former Doctor Who show-runner should be banished to Room 101 himself on the strength of writing Kill The Moon alone.
Moffat’s banal bug-bears were sandy beaches and not being in touch with his own Scottishness. Hardly Spike Milligan demolishing Chris Evans or Bob Monkhouse steaming into the French.
His fellow panellist Rochelle Humes nominated “people who don’t take a bag on a night out”. Yeah, thanks for that, Roch. I think Anne Robinson’s Queen of Mean title is safe.
Sharp, smart Frank Skinner is Room 101’s saving grace, when he isn’t sneaking in BBC-approved pops at Brexit.
But the panel-show format waters down the programme’s impact. It worked far better with one witty, outspoken guest per episode.

EC3R 6EN minutes of Frank’s time. So were Paxman and Frankie Boyle. Jerry Sadowitz would elevate the show to a new level. Or get it pulled off air.
And what a shame The Fall’s Mark E. Smith popped his clogs before anyone had the sense to book him.
We’ve got Josh Widdicombe, Nish Kumar and Geri Horner in the coming weeks, just to prove that these days most Room 101 bookings are more suited to be being in it than on it.
Marcus Brigstocke, Sue Perkins, Janet Street-Porter...these absurd irritants have all been guests! Why?
They should’ve been fast-tracked to TV Hell with a soundtrack of Davina Sodding McCall squawking endlessly on a loop-tape for eternity.
THINGS that should be in Room 101: dumbed-down Celebrity Mastermind with its parade of mince-thick microcelebs; Miriam Margolyes; Barry Scott; soaps with no moral compass...
And the fact no-one at the BBC seems aware Room 101 is supposed to house your worst fear – not minor moans.
JIMMY Carr recalled a classic heckle. Ken Dodd was going down a storm at Glasgow Empire when a disgruntled Scot yelled: “It’s all very funny if you like laughing.” GOMORRAH (SkyAt)...Lydia Wilson, Requiem, right... Altered Carbon (Netflix)…Six Nations Rugby. GERI Horner, left – no spice…All Together Now – yet another karaoke calamity… toothless “satire” Unspun – unwatched, unloved and unfunny.

PEOPLE on The Chase who describe their dumb guesses as “educated”. People who buzz instantly and take a wild stab in the final chase without waiting to see if anyone else actually knows the answer. The Americans being buried after midnight on ITV4.
ARE Gemma Collins and Arg really loved-up and inseparable, or just trapped in each others’ gravitational pull?
