TV Review: The Brittas Empire

Release Date: January 3rd 1991 - February 24th 1997 (Seven series. Fifty three episodes).

Story: The comedic goings on at a Leisure Centre managed by Gordon Brittas (played by Chris Barrie).

My thoughts: Very funny and very entertaining. The characters are also great and I would recommend it for everyone. Gordon Brittas himself is especially funny. He tries to do good but it ends up backfiring but his heart is in the right place. The opening credits are very creative (Brittas trying out various gym equipment with the crew's names written on the clothes that Brittas is wearing or on the gym equipment). This is one of the many comedy series that I wished had continued (perhaps something similar to Doctor Who, the Leisure Centre has a new manager now and then). The only thing I have to complain about it is the final episode of series seven. Which states that the whole show was just a dream. This is a major continuity error as we see in an early Christmas special that was set in the future. Where all of the staff of the leisure centre had left and had gotten other jobs, only to meet up again at a reunion Christmas party hosted by Brittas himself. But apart from that, this is still a great show.

My score: Four stars.
