i.e. Room 101 backwards.We know the idea of the TV show Room 101.
Well, this is the opposite, what generally under-rated thing that could be in Room 101 would you liberate?
It could be plumbers, sago pudding, cloudy days, Blackpool ... anything that you think is not as bad as people generally think.
OK ... rules ... you have to give reasons and it mustn't be political or religious.
I'll go first.
Thing
Bargain Hunt (BBC TV Programme)
Reason
Although it's a lightweight daytime programme, it is only a bit of fun and you get to know bits and pieces about, erm, old bits and pieces, from quite knowledgeable people and sometimes get to marvel at hideous stuff that is considered to be valuable or, equally, attractive items that are pretty much worthless.
Plus you get to admire the irrepressible Tim Wonnacott's waistcoats and tweeds.
I love the sheer Britishness of it, where no-one is really that bothered about whether they win and quite often it's the team who loses the least money that actually wins, all part of the gentle fun of it all.
All round a nice warm programme to watch with a cup of Earl Grey and a nice slice of Apple Cake.
That reminds me, I need to go on eBay to look for some pastry forks.
Over to you ...
