The Slammer (original) (raw)

The Slammer (also known as The Slammer Returns for its final two series) is a children's talent show sitcom that was broadcast on BBC One and CBBC from 22 September 2006 until 26 July 2014. Set in a fictional prison called HM Slammer, this programme follows a variety show format where "prisoners" (who have been arrested for "showbiz"-related crimes) compete, by performing to an audience, who decide which act should be released. Some of the supporting cast of Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow appear in The Slammer; Dave Chapman, Ian Kirkby, Lee Barnett and Melvin Odoom.
