Brittas Empire

Want to blame anyone for obese Britain? You don't have to look further than Gordon Brittas, the nasal nightmare of an anally-retentive leisure centre manager who could single-handedly put any fitness-faddist off the idea of ever donning lycra again. Played with gusto by Chris Barrie, Mr Brittas was a swarm of overcomplex plans, initiatives and regulations dressed in a blue blazer.
