Gordon Brittas is running communal leisure centre, but lacking the knowledge and people skills he keeps running into troubles. Chris Barrie is playing almost the same kind of character as in Red Dwarf - incompetent, but bossy manager of the leisure centre who is trying to take care of everything. Rest of the staff is trying to live with his difficult character.
1 | The Elephant?s Child |
| Julie goes into labour, Colin has a large amount of manure delivered to the centre, and a bungee jump is prepared. Gavin and Tim are both scared of heights, but even more scared of each other knowing this. |
2 | Reviewing The Situation |
| After receiving a series of death threats, Julie has hired a personal bodyguard. Meanwhile Tim Whistler is labelled as non-existent by Brittas; after showing his birth certificate it is revealed Tim is not who he seems. |
3 | http://etc |
| Everything in the Centre is computerised, and the staff now feel the computer has taken over their jobs. In an attempt to convince Brittas to scrap the system they attempt to sabotage it, but things soon get out of control. |
4 | Wake Up The Lion Within |
| Carole uses Brittas?s "Waking up the lion within" technique to spawn an alter ego, which commands her to take control of the centre using any means necessary. This leads to the once tearful receptionist taking Brittas?s job. |
5 | The Disappearing Act |
| Julie?s niece goes missing after Colin supposedly makes her disappear; this is after he performed a magic trick for the little girl?s birthday party, held at the centre. Meanwhile Helen hosts a dreams? workshop. |
6 | Gavin Featherly RIP |
| After a staff holiday trip, evidence mounts up to suggest a troubled Gavin has committed suicide. Funeral preparations are made back at the centre, but Tim is shocked to receive a call from Gavin, who claims he has been abducted by pirates. |
7 | Exposed |
| Brittas prepares for a TV documentary recording at the leisure centre, hiring a model to stand in for Colin. However a lethal disease breaks out causing chaos. |
8 | Curse of the Tiger Women |
| The staff celebrate Whitbury New Town Leisure centre?s anniversary, with a cake that Brittas made himself. Unfortunately, due to a gypsy curse placed upon him, everyone who has a piece ends up dead. Julie contemplates marriage, there is a build-up of marsh gas in the centre and Carole makes a devastating discovery. After being pecked unconscious by a bird, Brittas wakes up to a surprising revelation. |
