Ben Fogle

The best bit of this comedy panel show has to be the ingenious 3D models that illustrate the pet hates of Frank Skinner's guests. What will they come up with for Extreme Fishing With Robson Green, which gets Janet Street-Porter's goat? Among Ben Fogle's bugbears is the suitcase on wheels, while skyscraper comedian Greg Davies - The Inbetweeners' stern head - really, really, really hates pointless TV interviews with members of the public. Let the squabbles commence.

Radio Times review

You wouldn't expect Janet Street-Porter and Ben Fogle to agree on much and they don't. But they give Room 101 exactly the injection of friction it needs as they clash on the rights and wrongs of multichannel TV and wheelie cases. Fogle disdains both, but Street-Porter's first beef is more specific: she loathes Extreme Fishing with Robson Green for its shoutiness: "Simplistic twaddle!" argues the journalist famed for her calm and nuanced approach.

But it's Greg Davies, the man with the angriest eyebrows in comedy, who really gets the programme's comic juices flowing. His rant/routine about pointless TV interviews with members of the public is a joy.

Fibbing to their host, fellow panellists and the general public this week are pouty newsreader Kate Silverton, comedian Hugh Dennis, presenter Ben Fogle and Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood. Dennis kicks off the truth and lies session by announcing that he has to touch his nose every time he says "France". Later, Silverton wants the other team to trust that she once presented the news with her foot in an ice bucket. And Fogle claims authorities on a small island interrogated him because they thought he was a spy. Worse still, he was accused - or so he says - of smuggling breadfruit plants. Laughs abound. There's even a tense moment: Revel Horwood over-investigates Silverton's foot story, perhaps failing to grasp that he's in a comedy panel show rather than an audition for a low-rent detective drama.
