Room 101 Supposing you had the chance to get rid of some of your worst nightmares, what would they be? While working for the BBC, novelist George Orwell spent many of his most boring meetings in a place called 'Room 101'. It left such an impact on Orwell that when he came to write his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, he turned Room 101 into the place that contains the worst thing in the world, designed to scare that person into obeying their master, Big Brother. BBC’s Room 101 hosted by Paul Merton interviews celebrities where they are able to finally get rid of the things they hate the most... forever. The show was designed to be the opposite of Desert Island Discs, in which people talked about the things they liked. In Room 101, they talked about the things they hated, with Merton deciding whether to banish the proposed item to the room. It is now your chance to banish the things you hate in the world. During your interview you must put forward a persuasive argument if you want your wishes to be granted…
Room 101 This is a paired task: 1) The interviewer must ask interesting, probing questions and decide whether the interviewee as given enough evidence to support banishment. 2) The interviewee must respond to the interviewer giving valid reasons why they wish to banish the three items.

Room 101 Now you have gained an idea of the task; you need to plan and write the interview script with your partner. However, before you do, read the rules…
The Rules • There are certain rules you must follow: • You have to propose three things to go into the room. • You must not choose a tutor or other members of the class. • You must not select anything which may cause offence to others , for example: no racist, sexist or homophobic comments etc. • Make specific choices, not ‘annoying soaps’ be more precise for example: EastEnders. • Avoid ‘heavy’ subjects, for example: drugs. • You must answer the interviewer’s questions about your choices and try to persuade him/her to include your requests.
Rules for writing good interview questions Don’t use Yes/No questions If the person you are interviewing can answer your questions by just saying “yes” or “no”, then it will not be a very interesting discussion. Always plan an interview before you write it. Start by making a short list of the things you want to include. Do you like dogs? No
Rules for writing good interview answers The interview has got to sound realistic … think about your answers to the questions. You must use persuasive language and argue your case.
