THE BRITTAS EMPIRE

 
   

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
When God was handing out the gifts of management and diplomacy, Gordon Brittas was definitely last in line--behind Attila the Hun! The trouble is, although he means well, he just cannot resist the temptation to meddle, time and time again reducing everyone he meets to gibbering nervous wrecks.

So it comes as no surprise to his long-suffering wife, Helen, that within half an hour of his taking up an appointment as manager of the new Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre, at least half the staff have walked out on strike! The rest think he's misguided, maladjusted and very probably mad.

As for Brittas himself, he doesn't realize that he is the problem. He's too busy empire- building, Nero-style, fiddling away merrily while Rome burns.
