If you had the chance to banish something into Room 101, what would it be and why? Room 101, hosted by Nick Hancock (seasons 1-3) and then Paul Merton (season 4 onwards), gives people the chance to do so. They tell Nick Hancock, later Paul Merton, why it should be banished forever and then Nick Hancock, later Paul Merton, decides on whether it should be forever banished to the depths of Room 101.
