The No Chance in Hell, Hotel is the latest hilarious comedy by Smith and Fairley, creators of the smash hit comedy Bangers and Mash.

Set on the mean streets of Sydney, The No Chance in Hell has a lot of fun with the ‘who dun'nit' crime genre and sends up cop stories such as CSI and Law and Order. Add in some hilarious song and dance routines and there you have Smith and Fairley's latest highly original creation.

Diane Spencer is a lovely but lonely young woman and bar manager. She is struggling to keep her bar going, when along comes Jack. Jack's a bit of a yuppie with a past. He an ex alcoholic, ex-advertising jingle writer and he takes the job as the new barman in Dianne's bar.

Despite Jack and Dianne being very different people, chemistry happens and opposites attract. Just when these two look like getting together, Diane is suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious Sydney underworld figure. The cops are soon hard on the case.  But who would do such a thing?
