===Later appearances===
Personal problems later overshadowed Slattery's career, leading to a reduced profile. He made his last appearance on ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?'' in 1995, and due to an extended period of illness, he undertook only occasional television work from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. He reappeared in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' in 1999 as the voice of a vending machine.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://inews.co.uk/culture/tony-slattery-now-comedian-partner-mark-michael-hutchinson-documentary-bbc-tonight-what-happened-430004 |title=Tony Slattery now: what happened to the comedian featured with partner Mark Michael Hutchinson in a BBC documentary tonight |first=Alex |last=Finnis |work=[[The i Paper]] |date=21 May 2020 |access-date=14 January 2025}}</ref>
