The Brittas Empire - Series 1

This first series introduces Brittas, whose arrival at the new Centre prompts a rash of resignations as his petty and pedantic managerial methods constantly rebound on him. Mishaps in these episodes include a malfunctioning set of automatic doors, a disastrous wedding in the pool and a lost baby. Somehow, however, Brittas' strange sense of idealism keeps him bobbing up as all others sink into despair.

First broadcast in 1991, this release features all 6 episodes from Series One of The Brittas Empire as well as a few basic extras.

First released: Monday 21st July 2003
