When the gently caress did Room 101 return and why is it so poo poo?

Saw an episode last night on the iplayer, and had to check out the other one available to make sure that the first wasn't just an off day.
It's like its been neutered for afternoon TV. And three celebs, who thought that was a good idea.
And why is there no bile or sarcastic hatred in their selected items like the older series, just safe loving things we all hate anyway. 'I hate birds making GBS threads on me at public events' was one of them, how often in your lifetime does that happen, once?

And you would think Frank Skinner would be more acidic in defending or supporting an item, especially with his quick wit. But he seems wasted, only used to cut to public domain internet clips of something related.

It has been poo poo since it came back several years ago. So embarassing we dare not mention it hoping it gets canned.

It really has lost its teeth. The problem seems to be more with the new format and the guests they get on, which I guess is the remit of the producer rather than Frank Skinner.

It's been poo poo since Nick Hancock left (barring a couple of good Merton episodes - Will Self and Johnny Vegas spring to mind).

No mention of Ideal? Graham Duff is going to be pissed. Also, didn't Psychoville premier on BBC 3 or wasn't it BBC 2?

I'm not saying it's the worst thing about the ad, but isn't it a tacit admission that no one really likes the little bit of gherkin?

Me. I order the same thing everywhere in order to compare restaurants and I also happen to love burgers. Also, I hate restaurants. Speaking of which I went to a mcdonald's in Salford last year and they still had a sort of mosaic mural thing of all the old McDonald's characters rather than the green plastic and glass rebrand they did.



Nothing like slurping down on a massive box of chicken nuggets whilst burger cop looks on.
