The Brittas Empire - Season 3 (1993)

Helen is desperate to get rid of Gordon's non-identical twin brother, Reverend Horatio Brittas, who was scheduled to become dean of Beirut, but turns to his twin with a vocational crisis. Alas, there is another explosive problem with gas leaking from a tank. Meanwhile, a whole busload of youngsters from another leisure center are visiting Whitbury--to score points in a game using Brittas-isms.

Brittas has the whole staff raise £2500 for a new trampoline via various sponsored activities, such as hunky Tim allowing people to throw wet sponges at him. Of course, things go wrong: Colin's juggling lands a ball in a high-tension wire. Meanwhile, Helen runs around scared to death after relapsing her worst pregnancy habit: shoplifting. Gordon's own sponsored silence-marathon is challenged to the limit when a certain Michael T. Farrell III from Chicago, Illinois, USA insists on talking to assistant-manager Laura on her birthday, even it it means paying the whole ...

Brittas prepares for Elderly Week by disguising himself as an obnoxious senior citizen--but is soon recognized by most of the staff members, who next receive questionnaires (except Laura, who is 'too old and has the wrong attitude') to find out who might be fit to succeed him eventually. Helen insists that Laura should drive her to hospital instead of Gordon, but fate decides that the daddy-to-be gets to drive mummy-to-be after all. Of course he sticks to every rule in the book, but of course they have an accident anyway and get stranded in the High Street.
