YMMV / Room 101

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • John Peel nominated Death itself, leading to a light-hearted discussion of the ways he thought he might go, plus his recollection that he had recently passed the age his father had died at. All now quite poignant as he died of a heart attack two years after the show aired.
  • Nick listing Jimmy Savile as one of the worst things in the world in Richard Wilson's appearance seems less like a joke after Savile was outed as a child molester.
  • Robert Webb manages to put Jeremy Kyle into Room 101, where he claims "it's the pits" ands it's one of the worst things on TV, among other things. Fast forward to 2019, and Jeremy Kyle got pulled off the air because of a death of one of its guests.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • Terry Wogan nominated Have I Got News for You during his appearance. This was before Paul Merton took over as presenter.
  • Michael Grade's notorious trashing of Doctor Who in his appearance became this when the show was successfully relaunched in 2005...and Grade actually liked it.
