6 Episodes 1993 - 1993
Episode 1
30 mins
Gordon Wellesly Brittas stands trial for sixfold murder, mainly on Bolivians, and several minor counts. Staff and Helen testify as to what happened on that day in the leisure center, when one of Gordon's enemies put glue on various objects he would touch. During mercilessly meticulous lavatory inspections checking on Gavin and Tim, Brittas found keys to lockers. Each locker contains a briefcase, filled with £650,000 viz. amphetamines, which he took to his office, where the latter get to addict Helen. As the plot thickens, the body-count rises. Yet when Gordon believes he'll never get out of jail, one of his good deeds pays off.
Episode 2
30 mins
When Laura explains to Gordon that the staff has sent him to 'Coventry' (as he never noticed), because of his insensitive abuse of security recordings to criticize their 'unappealing physical appearance', he hires psychologist Dr. Matthews to diagnose the source of aggravation in the center. Before the doc proves it's Gordon, horror strikes in the form of a live tarantula sent to Brittas from a millionaire with a grudge. The nearly fatal giant arachnid, however, proves helpful for the greatest local hazard.
Episode 3
30 mins
Helen panics to hear Laura is away postulating for a managers post in London. Meanwhile maths teacher Jackson's patience is tested when he tries to get a cup of coffee from the vending machine, given the paperwork and camera check for a 5 p. refund. Colin has a concussion, so his way of following simplified instructions is even more dangerous for a whole pool of Pentecostals holding a baptism ceremony. Carole's illicit baby-care drives Brittas to provoke the whole staff.
Episode 4
30 mins
Helen is desperate to get rid of Gordon's non-identical twin brother, Reverend Horatio Brittas, who was scheduled to become dean of Beirut, but turns to his twin with a vocational crisis. Alas, there is another explosive problem with gas leaking from a tank. Meanwhile, a whole busload of youngsters from another leisure center are visiting Whitbury--to score points in a game using Brittas-isms.
Episode 5
30 mins
Brittas has the whole staff raise £2500 for a new trampoline via various sponsored activities, such as hunky Tim allowing people to throw wet sponges at him. Of course, things go wrong: Colin's juggling lands a ball in a high-tension wire. Meanwhile, Helen runs around scared to death after relapsing her worst pregnancy habit: shoplifting. Gordon's own sponsored silence-marathon is challenged to the limit when a certain Michael T. Farrell III from Chicago, Illinois, USA insists on talking to assistant-manager Laura on her birthday, even it it means paying the whole target sum in cash just to get in...but why?
Episode 6
30 mins
Brittas prepares for Elderly Week by disguising himself as an obnoxious senior citizen--but is soon recognized by most of the staff members, who next receive questionnaires (except Laura, who is 'too old and has the wrong attitude') to find out who might be fit to succeed him eventually. Helen insists that Laura should drive her to hospital instead of Gordon, but fate decides that the daddy-to-be gets to drive mummy-to-be after all. Of course he sticks to every rule in the book, but of course they have an accident anyway and get stranded in the High Street.
