As most of you will know, "Room 101" is where celebs discuss
their pet hates and annoyances in the hope to have them forever banished to "Room 101" . . .
So, what are your pet hates and annoyances about the world of television?
I really can't stand people who haven't read '1984'

Yes I know that, but as this a
TV
Forum rather than a literature forum, using the "Room 101" TV show as a
basis for this particular thread is more appropriate. How many people here will have read "1984" anyway?
Perhaps if I were to start a more general "Room 101" thread over at Metropol 24/7, or at some other
general chat based message board, I would most likely use references to "1984" as a basis for that.
Anyway, just so this thread doesn't sway off topic, let me just remind one and all, that it's for airing your
grievances and annoyances about television related things, not what you don't like about TV Forum!

It was a GCSE standard text in my day, so probably a quite a few.
It's the presumption that 'Room 101 is about celebrities' whereas as any fule know.... 'the thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world'
A teacher friend of mine told me recently about a pupil at her school who asked how Orwell knew about Big Brother 'as they didn't have TVs then'!
