I think there is some kind of free transit visa permitted at ALG, though that one needs some proper research for sure.
This is certainly not the case for UK passport holders. Transit visas are available but require arranging some weeks in advance, provison of multiple documents, payment of £85 fee... and a trip to North Acton (or risking your passport in the post !).

Even with a transit visa, short connections are dicey due to having to get a printed BP at ALG (if you are in legitimate transit, an official will go downstairs to get it for you, leaving you to sweat nervously upstairs).

Algeria - worth visiting, not so good to connect over !!
