It’s not yet known if each episode will be followed a few days later by the extended repeat Room 101 – Extra Storage, though I wouldn’t be surprised.
I personally dislike the Extra Storage, Have I Got a Bit More News for You and QI XL style of BBC programming, just broadcast the full length show first. If you’ve already seen the half-hour version, you don’t want to view it all again just to see a few extra bits. I often find myself deliberately avoiding a show I like on a Friday evening, just to wait for the Monday night repeat.
