Summary

Gordon Brittas (Chris Barrie) is the manager of Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre.

Although he means well and wants to be a good manager, he has a talent for bringing about total disaster.

While Brittas is busy dreaming up new ways to make the lives of his staff more difficult, his assistant Laura (Julia St John) does her best to keep the Leisure Centre operational.

Meanwhile, Helen Brittas (Pippa Haywood) tries (unsuccessfully) to retain her sanity as she struggles to cope with her husband.

Other regular characters are Carole (Harriet Thorpe), Gavin (Tim Marriot), Colin (Michael Burns) and Tim (Russell Porter).
