Some dude, comedian, apparently is trying to put Ben Elton into Room 101... they even said there was a new musical about him called shitalot!!
Ben Elton is a genius!! I love his stuff!! Without him we wouldnt have been introduced to the wonders of Rik Mayall, Rowan Atkison... and not forgetting WWRY!!
Although I have to say his stand up isnt much cop, but his scripts are amazing!
How can no one like him??!!

You know, Room 101 has been going for such a long time I expect they're having problems thinking of 'different' things to put in there! Up and coming comedian = anything for a cheap laugh\controversial subject If I was put in Room 101 (don't all rush) I certainly wouldn't mind being in there with Ben Elton.

Come to think of it there are some other people that I wouldn't mind being in there with either.

ummm cough cough. Some of his scrips are fantastic ie BlackAdder and some not so much. There was a comedy series with Hannah Jane Fox last year which was dire and some would say he has buggered up the wwry script a bit too often too.

Errr...I kind of agree with you...I also felt that 'Tonight's the Night' (Which I LOVED btw!) 'recycled' too many WWRY lines...and one of the characters from 'Tonights the Night' appeared again, exactly the same in every way in Blessed (including the same actor from the West End production) Only the name had changed! He's massively talented, but I thought that was just lazy.

I'd even forgotten about Blessed - umm - that was not one of his funniest works! But I still imagine he would be quite an interesting person to be 'stuck with' in Room 101.

That would have worked so much better without ardal o hanlan or mel gedroyc's characters (love them both, but they were sooooooooo bleeding boring!!!!!).

Yep...and they were the basis of the whole program!

OH yer I forgot bout Blessed, I only saw bits of it cause I was at uni without a tv, but my mum watched it for that dude, she fell in love with him from Tonights the Night...
Although, i dont think I could put up with Mr Eltons rants, his stand show I can get 20 mins into then I have to turn off, he just keeps going!!!

Okay, for the sake of the Yanks here....what's Room 101? lol, for the Yanks! Its a room where you can banish things forever like parking restrictions, annoying celebrities, or programmes etc... Famous people go on the show and try and justify putting 5 things into room 101 and then the host Paul Merton, decides... I think that is the jist of it.... Phil Collins was on it once and put those weird God channel things where you can phone up for a personal prayer etc... Oh and he put Oasis in, well think it was more Liam Gallagher.
