The Slammer (series two)

Series two of "The Slammer".

Acts include:

*Russian Bar (group name : Gvozdetskys) - A superb four-piece act, in which two talented gymnasts (one male and one female) perform a range of acrobatics on a flexible vaulting pole, which is about 4 metres long. Two other people hold each end of the pole. This act requires highly skilled acrobats and combines balance beam skills, the rebound tempo skills of trampoline and swing handstand skills.

*Attila Endresz - A skillful balancing act featuring a nine-foot unicycle. This exciting act is not for the faint-hearted.

*Aleshin Group - A spectacular performance by a family of outstanding acrobats.

*Jeff Jay Trampoline - Trampolining with a difference: excellent stunts and plenty of laughs at the same time.

*Pupski - A clever little dog who is not only cute but can perform tricks as well.

*The Great Alfredo - A Chris Evans lookalike magician. He doesn't get to perform in The Slammer, because Peter and Melvin reveal the secret of his trick to the Governor. The Governor sends Alfredo and his wife packing, then, as Alfredo is the second act to let him down that day, he performs a vaudeville style number himself.

*Bendy Wendy - A contortionist who does not perform on The Slammer because her rehearsal goes wrong- she somehow manages to split herself in two.
*Andrew Van Buren

*Rob Alton, BMX master - A young man performs tricks on his BMX.

*The Two Howards - Big Howard (a human), and Little Howard (a computer-generated comedian), perform a song together, which they say is meant to be serious. The song is so sad that Little Howard blows his nose, covering both himself and his partner in snot, and halting the performance.

*3 Pin Socket – winners of the final episode. Teenage rock band from Lichfield, Staffordshire. Guy (drums), Joby (bass/vocals) and Rob (guitar) performed "Lost in Misery".
