My personal Room 101 is the way that Orwell's original dark vision of a totalitarian society of CCTV, controlling government embracing propaganda while lying to their people about wars all the while beggaring them to pay for their own rich lives has ironically been twisted by our society since about...ooo...1984 or so. His two main concepts have been made into tv circuses to let us proles forget our real, massive objections to our systematically being taken for a ride by our unelected emperors who hoard our bread. It's a question of time before we get a game show called 'DO IT TO JULIA!'. Probably hosted by Dale Winton. 'So, John, your own CCTV set is at stake, but you must endure the poker treatment or will we....DO IT TO JULIA...???'

But as I like that irony, I'm all for a Room 101 thread. And first to go in is modern society. Hope does not, and never did, lie with the proles.

And the crowd cheers! :banjmp:

Ok, it's a bit over the top and tends to categorise all the contestants into nice easy to analyse problems, but it still miles ahead of a lot of other entertainment shows. And lots of good recipies to mess around with.

Agreed. Superb programme, despite Torode being knackered all the time, and Wallace leering like a perv any time a contestant makes a nice sweet dessert.

Never mind. If football went kaput, you could stare at clothes on the washing line on a slightly breezy day to simulate the same responses in your frontal lobes as watching Serie A :P

Masterchef - stop taking it so bloody seriously, it's just cooking.

But they can Change. Their. Lives!

Just the mere thought of the baldy guy saying "This. Is. Tough!" for the umpteenth time is enough to annoy me.

That's pretty much why I love Masterchef. It's such a serious business.

That and Greg's prodigious appetite.

I think The Cundeez have got to go in. Their music is awful, it sems to be only associations with united or other things that gives them any profile. All the over done dundee dialects is just irratating too.

Someone must like them to have them played at the games all the times though.

Not to mention all that poetry, which is a whole load worse.

I don't like the name either. Always sounds like it should be a swear word, but isn't.

Thank you. I'm glad it's not just me thinks they're pish. And I quite liked Sham 69 in small doses as well.

Incidentally chaps, Yagan has gone to the trouble of setting up a thread for this in An Allotment on Arklay Street entitled Dante's Inferno. This thread was really just for discussing the concept.

Why I'm telling you this escapes me. I think I've got a touch of OCD.
