The Visit opens the door of a low-security prison visiting room for a comedic peek into the lives of a group of petty crooks and the family, friends and fiends who visit them each week.

Under the watchful eye of the under-valued, officious prison visiting officers, the prisoners struggle to maintain marriages, rebuild relationships and catch up on the lives on the outside of their loved ones and their loathed ones.

Wannabe hard man Clint likes to refer to himself as 'frisbee', because he always returns to prison but, as his somewhat smarter wife points out, it should actually be 'boomerang'.

Michael, meanwhile, refuses to turn grass to aid his appeal, because he's rather attached to his kneecaps. Whilst incarcerated he endures card games with his cheating Dad and his wittering Nana, who often visits armed with a crucifix.

Added into the mix is the facially pierced Blind Gaz, a grubby kids creche where hepatitis is spread by a Fimble and a visiting officer who thinks the vending machine running out of Crunchie bars is a code red situation!
