Celebrity Guests
The Slammer has featured many celebrity guests (usually entertainers) who either play themselves or characters in the storyline, perform or do both.
In 2006, the show was reprimanded by media regulator Ofcom after a complaint was received regarding a performance in which a mime artist put a rubber glove over his head, eyes and nose and blew it up. Ofcom formally recorded a breach against the show as it was felt that the sketch, particularly the performers use of the glove, was presented as 'slapstick fun' and could be easily imitated by young children.
