He is the well-meaning but incompetent manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre.
The show ran for seven series and 52 episodes — including two Christmas specials — from 1991 to 1997 on BBC1.
Norriss and Fegen wrote the first five series.
The Brittas Empire had large audiences.
In 2004 the show came 47th on the BBC's Britain's Best Sitcom poll.
The show combined farce with surreal dramatic elements.
For example, in the first series, the leisure centre prepares for a royal visit, only for the doors to seal, the boiler room to flood and a visitor to be electrocuted.
Unlike the traditional sitcom, deaths were quite common in The Brittas Empire.
Gordon Brittas (played by Chris Barrie) is the well-meaning but incompetent manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre.
He trained at the fictional Aldershot Leisure Centre.
He is tactless, annoying and has 'half-baked' ideas.
He is oblivious to all of his faults.
Brittas frequently upsets his staff, the public, and his wife Helen.
He often brings confusion and chaos into their lives.
Helen Brittas, played by Pippa Haywood, finds it increasingly difficult to cope with Gordon.
She often turns to pills and affairs with other men to maintain her sanity.
She is also helped by Brittas's calm and efficient deputy, Laura Lancing, played  by Julia St John.
Laura has a grudging admiration for Brittas whom she regards as honest and decent.
Brittas's other deputy, the dim-witted Colin Weatherby, is played by Mike Burns.
Colin has several skin allergies and a constantly infected hand.
Though he is an assistant manager, he works as the centre's caretaker.
Carole, played by Harriet Thorpe, is the often tearful receptionist who keeps her three children in the drawers of the reception desk.
Amongst other members of the team is Julie, played by Judy Flynn.
Julie is a sarcastic secretary who hates her boss and refuses to do any work.
Lively Linda, played by Jill Greenacre, gentle-hearted Gavin, played by Tim Marriott, and his paranoid partner Tim, played by Russell Porter, are more co-operative members of the team.
Carole's son Ben was played by Jonathon Norriss.
The Brittas Empire was broadcast for fifty-two episodes between 1991 and 1997, spanning seven series and two Christmas Specials.
There was also one short episode for Children in Need.
The cast also performed in the 1996 Royal Variety Performance.
Chris Barrie played Brittas again in the short fitness series spin-off called Get Fit with Brittas.
For the first five series the show's creators Richard Fegen and Andrew Norriss co-wrote the show, after which they left, along with actress Julia St John who played Laura.
Series five was originally meant to be the final series, and Norriss and Fegen killed off Brittas at its end, when he was crushed to death by a falling water tank.
However, the show's popularity meant the BBC resurrected Brittas and brought on a team of new writers, who carried the show on for a further two series, including one further Christmas special in 1996.
These writers were: Paul Smith, Terry Kyan, Tony Millan, Mike Walling, Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent.
'Curse of the Tiger Women' is the final episode in 1997.
This ending claims all seven series were part of a dream that Brittas is having on his way to the job interview for manager of the leisure centre.
It is an ending that is regarded as poor by many critics and viewers, and contradicts the 1994 Christmas Special by Fegen and Norriss, showing what happens to the staff post-Whitbury Leisure Centre.
In 2014, Chris Barrie reprised his role as Gordon Brittas for a brief appearance in the Sport Relief music video, 'Word Up!'

DVD release dates
In its positioning of an incompetent in charge of others, The Brittas Empire mined the traditional vein of TV humour (e.g., Dad's Army or Are You Being Served?).
Yet it also had an element of absurdism....which gave it an appeal to younger viewers.
At a stretch the show could also be viewed as a critique of the managerial class which expanded in the Thatcherite eighties.
The show has been credited with having an influence on Alan Partridge and The Office.
The exterior shots and interior swimming pools of 'Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre' were filmed at Ringwood Leisure Centre, Hampshire.

The German sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies described an early model of collectivism and individualism using the terms Gemeinschaft (community) and Gesellschaft (society).
Gemeinschaft relationships, in which communalism is prioritized, were thought to be characteristic of small, rural village communities.
An anthropologist, Redfield (1941) echoed this notion in work contrasting folk society with urban society.
Max Weber (1930) contrasted collectivism and individualism through the lens of religion, believing that Protestants were more individualistic and self-reliant compared to Catholics, who endorsed hierarchical, interdependent relationships among people.
Hofstede (1980) was highly influential in ushering in an era of cross-cultural research making comparisons along the dimension of collectivism versus individualism.
Hofstede conceptualized collectivism and individualism as part of a single continuum, with each cultural construct representing an opposite pole.
The author characterized individuals that endorsed a high degree of collectivism as being embedded in their social contexts and prioritizing communal goals over individual goals.

The Draize test is a test, to see if a substance is toxic.
John H. Draize and Jacob M. Spines first used the test in 1944.
The test was first used for cosmetics, but later for other substances as well.
To see if a substance is toxic, it is applied to the skin or the eye of an animal, for a given time.
After the time, the substance is washed out and the effects are recorded.
Very often, small animals, such as rabbits were used.
After the test, the animals are observed for up to 14 days.
If the test does irreversible damage to the skin or the eye, the animal is killed after the test.
Animals may be re-used for testing purposes if the product tested causes no permanent damage.
Animals are typically reused after a "wash out" period during which all traces of the tested product are allowed to disperse from the test site.
They are seem as cruel and  unscientific  because of the differences between rabbit and human eyes, and the subjective nature of the visual evaluations.
The FDA supports the test, stating that "to date, no single test, or battery of tests, has been accepted by the scientific community as a replacement [for] ... the Draize test".
Because of its controversial nature, the use of the Draize test in the U.S. and Europe has declined in recent years and is sometimes modified so that anaesthetics are administered and lower doses of the test substances used.
Chemicals already shown to have adverse effects in vitro are not currently used in a Draize test, thereby reducing the number and severity of tests that are carried out.
Other tests have been developed which can replace the Draize test for many applications: First there is a test that uses chicken eggs.
Another test uses Spanish slugs.
The Hen's egg test on chorioallantoic membrane, or hen's egg test is a test that can be used to test the toxicity of substances.
It is also often used to test vaccines.
It is a CAM Assay.
The product ot be tested is applied to a special membrane.
Such tests were first used because chicken eggs were easily available.
As the respective membrane does not contain any nerve cells, it is likely that the developing bird embryo does not feel pein during the test.
These tests are not considered to be animal testing.
Social choice theory, which is also called theory of collective choice, is a theory that looks at how a group of people reach a decision.

The studies collaborated with  with De Agostini Editore S.p.
A. in Italy, Toei Animation in Japan, SAMG Animation in South Korea, DQ Entertainment and Assemblage Entertainment in India, and Globosat in Brazil.
The series features two teenagers from Paris, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who transform into the superheroes Ladybug and Cat Noir, respectively, to protect the city from supervillains.
Before its debut in France on 19 October 2015 on TF1, the series was first shown in South Korea on 1 September 2015 on EBS1.
In the United States, the series originally debuted on Nickelodeon on 6 December 2015.
New premieres moved to Netflix on 20 December 2016, and reruns currently air on Disney Channel beginning on 8 April 2019.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the show premiered on 30 January 2016 on Disney Channel.
Set in modern-day Paris, teenagers Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste transform into superheroes when evil arises.
Marinette transforms into her superhero persona Ladybug, while Adrien transforms into his superhero persona Cat Noir, using magical jeweled objects known as the Miraculous.
Not knowing each other's true identities, the two work together to protect Paris from the mysterious villain Hawk Moth, who covets and attempts to steal their powers by using his akuma, butterflies infused with negative energy, to transform Paris' everyday citizens into supervillains, through a negative emotion that they have recently felt or are feeling.
The first season ends with Marinette meeting Master Fu, the Guardian of the Miraculous, the man who gave Marinette and Adrien their Miraculous.
The second season opens with Hawk Moth's identity being revealed as none other than Gabriel Agreste.
This season also sees Marinette under Fu's tutelage, learning about the Miraculous.
Circumstance requires Marinette to loan various Miraculous to friends and allies to fight some supervillains for temporary purposes.
These 3 allied heroes are called back in at the season's end when Hawk Moth manages to traumatize over two dozen civilians.
The heroes are victorious, but Hawk Moth manages to escape with the aid of the Peacock Miraculous holder, Mayura, Gabriel's assistant, Nathalie.
Hawk Moth continues his campaign in season three, aided by Mayura and her sentimonsters, creatures created from charged feathers, amoks.
Marinette calls upon even more allies to become Miraculous heroes while her nemesis, Lila, allies herself with Gabriel, unaware of his identity as Hawk Moth.
Two plot arcs include Nathalie's failing health from using a damaged Miraculous and Ladybug's refusal to give the Bee Miraculous to Chloe, leading her to betray and turn against Ladybug and join Hawk Moth.
Marinette transforms into ladybug by saying Tiki Spots on then says Tiki Spots off to go back to Marinette.
Adrien transforms into cat noir by saying Plagg claws out then says Plagg claws in to transform back into Adrien.
the other miraculous holders also have their own catchphrases.
Conception and creation
The series is based on an original concept created by French animator Thomas Astruc, who was inspired by a meeting with a certain lady, Japanese anime, and "decades of comics binge reading".
In an interview with Nolife, Astruc said he was working as an animator on the show W.I.T.C.H. when he met a woman wearing a T-shirt with a ladybug on it.
They began to share drawings, some of which were ladybug-themed.
Astruc also noted that Marinette's hair was styled after the woman.
They also worked on the cartoon A.T.O.M. around 2004–05.
Astruc first drew Ladybug on sticky notes and remarked about how strong the Ladybug character was, and had a couple memories of seeing ladybug-themed superheroes in comics.
Astruc had intended to make Ladybug a comic book series until he met Jeremy Zag, who loved the project and wanted to produce it as a cartoon; Zag was 25 at the time and not originally from the cartoon industry.
In developing Cat Noir, Astruc said that ladybugs represented good luck, so it was natural to partner her with a black cat character with bad luck powers.
Cat Noir was a tribute to comics characters like Catwoman, so it was like having Catwoman and Spider-Man in the same show but reversed genders.
A character named Félix was originally going to have the role of Cat Noir, but he was later scrapped in favor of Adrien Agreste because the creative team felt that Félix was a cliché of a male anime protagonist, and that Adrien would allow them to tell more interesting stories.
In September 2015, Astruc indicated that he was open to revisiting the character of Félix, but he abandoned it by February 2016, writing that the character was a poor idea.
Years later, in 2019, Félix was re-made as Adrien's cousin and was renamed Félix Graham de Vanily..
Themes, writing and process
The concept for the show originally dealt with political themes, geared towards teens and young adults.
However, after failing to gain traction with networks, it was retooled for a younger target audience.
Astruc said that he is delighted that the show is able to reach younger and older people.
Each episode takes around 3 months to write, from scratch to final validation of broadcasters.
Assistant director Wilfried Pain said that each episode is composed of two parts: a sitcom aspect where the characters have to speak for themselves, and an action element where the camera is always moving.
The music was done by Noam Kaniel (Noam), who had also worked on action superhero shows such as X-Men, Code Lyoko, W.I.T.C.H., Fantastic Four, Power Rangers, Digimon Fusion, and Glitter Force.
The theme song was written by Kaniel and Zag.
The English lyrics were done by Alain Garcia and performed by Wendy Child and Cash Callaway.
The French version was performed by Marily and Noam.
Kimberly Cooper, a blog writer who has contributed to news media such as The Huffington Post, wrote that the show has inspired teens and adults to create and propagate Miraculous remixes, and liked that the show featured multiracial characters as with the film Big Hero 6 which had won an Oscar.
She "quickly realized there was a far cooler and broader Miraculous movement underway".
Caitlin Donovan of entertainment website Epicstream listed it as one of her top 10 animated series of 2015.
She wrote that "The characters are so charming that the tropey aspects of the show are merely a lot of fun, rather than irritating."
with creative fights and good CGI animation.
She wrote that "Marinette is an adorable lead who is genuinely awkward as a civilian, but confident as a superhero, which makes for an interesting contrast."
Ella Anders of BSCKids wrote that the show stands out because of "how it meshes both the magical girl and superhero genera together".
Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times described the show as "clever, romantic, fun, the way some of us prefer our superhero stories".
He found the characters to "have the look of extruded plastic common to CGI cartoons", but "within these limits the design is lovely and the animation elegant, and a lot of work has gone into the staging and execution of the action scenes".
The North American Precis Syndicate called the show "authentic and aspirational – a story of today's modern everygirl superhero who comes to life.
The series, about a young girl who taps into her superhero powers and innocent optimism to save Paris from the evil Hawk Moth, will no doubt inspire today's youth to try to save the day, each and every day in their own way".
Andrea Reiher of Zap2It wrote that the "storylines are rich with family, friends, adventure, intrigue, villains, creativity and more, delivering themes that are relatable and relevant to kids and preteens" and anticipated it would be a huge hit on Nickelodeon.
Several media reviewers have anticipated Miraculous-brand toys to be among the hot superheroine properties for 2016.
Zag has partnered with Bandai to release Miraculous-based toys, as well as deals to make Miraculous-brand clothing and other merchandise.
An endless runner video game was developed by TabTale and released in April 2018 as a mobile app.
In April 2019 was announced new mobile game and in May 2019 it was presented by Jeremy Zag.
An animated musical film, titled Ladybug & Cat Noir Awakening, is in development and slated for release in 2021.
A live-action television series is also in the works.
