Local leisure centre manager, Gordon Brittas, is accused
of mass-murder, sent a package that contains a poisonous spider
and electrocutes some of his customers while they are innocently
using the pool - just the normal comings and goings of Whitbury
leisure centre...
Series
three of The Brittas Empire sees the sitcom really
start to blossom. There are some excellent episodes in this
collection including Two Little Boys, in which Gordon's
twin brother turns up - One Brittas is bad enough, but two
in the same location is a recipe of mayhem - and The Trial,
which sees Brittas in court charged with murder, possession
of drugs and stolen money.
Probably
the best episode is The Stuff of Dreams, which concludes
series three. This episode sees Brittas arrive at the leisure
centre one morning dressed as an OAP. The reason for this,
is that he wants to see whether his centre is really catering
for the older generation. This episode also sees Brittas and
his wife stuck in their car just as the pregnant Mrs Brittas
goes into labour.
This
is a much better series than one and two, and there are plenty
of genuinely funny moments. Also, Brittas' character has chilled
somewhat and he comes across as a much more likeable chap
than in previous releases.
The
only real complaint is that the person controlling the boom
mic should be taken out and shot - it's visible in so many
scenes that it starts to look stupid.
Extras
include a Wogan interview with Chris Barrie; stills
gallery; web links and a very amusing game where you have
to search the leisure centre to find where Carol's baby is
hiding.
A
very enjoyable series. While it's still not as funny as
Fawlty Towers, which was clearly the inspiration, it's
still fine entertainment.
