Gordon Brittas (Chris Barrie) is the manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre. Although he means well and wants to be a good manager he has a talent for bringing about total disaster. While Brittas is busy dreaming up new ways to make the lives of his staff more difficult his assistant Laura (Julia St John) does her best to keep the Leisure Centre operational. Meanwhile Helen Brittas (Pippa Haywood) tries (unsuccessfully) to retain her sanity as she struggles to cope with her hu
Rather than "excellent", the rating should be callled "eeeeeeeeexcellent" as that is the way Mr Brittas says it.
This sitcom is another excellent piece of comedy from the world leaders in good television, the UK. How we envy you in the rest of the world.
If you liked Fawlty Towers, you'll like The Brittas Empire too. It is funny and well written and just simply funny sometimes because of the absurdity, for instance Carole's keeping her children in drawers in reception or Colins utter disgustingness.
Another point: As a gay man myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the characters of Tim and Gavin. In the media, homosexual men are often depicted in a stereotypic way, but this is not the case here. It just works natural although we don't see a kiss. :(
The video quality is as can be expected, it looks like television because it is. The audio is mono, but it doesn't really matter because the dialogue is the important.
There is only one negative comment I have to make: The extra features are far too few and far too dull.
Otherwise: Buy it! 10/10 or eeeeeeexcellent.
