Room 101 is on Radio 4 for the first time, with host Paul Merton interviewing a wide variety of guests from the world of comedy and entertainment about their pet hates and worst nightmares.

The series originally began on BBC Radio 5 in 1992 with Nick Hancock, and then transferred to television in 1994, with Merton acting as host between 1999 and 2007. Frank Skinner did a revised TV version from 2012 to 2018.

This version returns to the format of having a single guest per episode.
