3. Items I would like to see consigned to Room 101: Spitting (Julian Clary) Litter (Liza Tarbuck) Clowns (Chris Tarrant & Tracey Emin) Mobile phones (Kathy Burke) Lateness (Ricky Gervais) Annoying Noises (Ricky Gervais) Cats Pigeons Cats amongst pigeons People who feed cats and/or pigeons People who say, “I'm more of a cat person, myself” People in front of you who walk/drive just too slowly beards

4. Room 101 'You asked me once,' said O'Brien, 'what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.'

5. Room 101 is a torture chamber in George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four which contained the main character’s worst nightmare – in this case, rats. The BBC have taken this concept and turned it into a TV show in which various celebrities talk about the things they hate. The show was originally hosted by Nick Hancock and then hosted by Paul Merton. Unforgettable guests have included Anne ‘Welsh’ Robinson, Frank Skinner and Stephen Fry. Remember – anything/anyone sent to Room 101 can never escape, so careful consideration is needed.

6. Task - You are going to write a persuasive speech about why several items of your choice should be banished to Room 101. Think of three to five things that really annoy you and ought to be banished to Room 101. Devote some serious time to the planning stage, as you cannot change your mind once the items have been put in. No racial, sexual, prejudicial or insulting items can be considered for Room 101. No students or teachers are allowed to be put into Room 101. Check your ideas are original and interesting – designating homework to Room 101, for example, isn’t particularly interesting or thought-provoking.

7. Room 101 Planning tips: Concentrate on one item at a time and be thorough in terms of what you dislike about it. Make sure you use persuasive language, e.g. emotive language, rhetorical questions, exclamations, forceful or memorable phrases, clusters of three, statistics (made up, if necessary!), humour, alliteration, metaphor and simile.

Next steps:= Think of three to five things that really annoy you and ought to be banished to Room 101.

No students or teachers are allowed to be put into Room 101. Have a quick discussion with your neighbour about what you are planning to put into Room 101. Check your ideas are original and interesting – designating homework to Room 101, for example, isn’t particularly interesting or thought-provoking.
