For Room 101, Hat Trick wants to build a community of users who would make their case for everything they would consign to their own personal hell.
Robin Parker, Broadcast, 19th September 2008Room 101 currently has an air of all too chummy bonhomie wafting about. The guest list needs to be looked at and expanded dramatically if the show is survive in its present format. When you're faced with a nonentity like Ronan Keating parading his bête noires to the nation then you know your number is up.
Cameron Borland, Off The Telly, 17th November 2003Smug alert warning
The show should work, and it usually does, largely due to Dan Patterson, a producer with unparalleled success at transferring radio comedy to television. Peter Salem's music is brave and exquisitely macabre, and the titles are award-winners, but this particular edition must (as Denis Norden might say) have employed a flaw manager.
