Room 101 is an SBS One comedy television series hosted by Paul McDermott, based on the UK series of the same name, in which celebrities are invited to discuss their dislikes and pet hates.[1] The series was scheduled to premiere on February 23, 2015[2] but the network decided to delay the launch until July 11, 2015.[3]

The series name is inspired by Room 101, the torture room in George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which reputedly contained "the worst thing in the world". The series was filmed at the Special Broadcasting Service in the Sydney suburb of Artarmon.[4]
