SCARBOROUGH’S FORMER JAIL THE SETTING FOR A NEW REALITY TV SERIES

Lights, Camera, Action! Scarborough’s former prison, just a short walk away from The Royal Hotel, is to feature in a brand new reality TV programme, featuring former Home Secretary David Blunkett.

David Blunkett will be acting as head of the “parole board” in a mock-up prison on Dean Road in Scarborough, where juvenile tearaways will be locked up to see at first hand what the consequences of a life of crime can be.

The producers of the series, Shine North, have been working with youth groups, community projects, charities, and pupil referral units in order to select the ideal “convicts.”

Whilst staying at The Royal Hotel why not take a look at the surroundings for this new reality TV programme. You will see what the “inmates” are likely to face at Scarborough’s mock Victorian prison. The series is going to be called Banged Up and will be screened later this year on Channel Five.
