Hahaha! I remember watching this as a kid and appreciate it more as an adult. Thanks for uploading this genius comedy. I’ve been depressed during the pandemic & this cheers me up.😃
I see the Demon Headmaster is trying to become Lord High Justice
Ha! Demon Headmaster. I knew I recognised him, but couldn't think where from! Also a young Billie Mitchell (Eastenders) as the shell-suit clad crim.
I want him to return
One of the best episodes - Love it
In my opinion this is the best episode of Brittas
I agree! This was my favorite episode from childhood & I’m glad I found it. 😅
A must watch every year
Absolute favourite episode. Thanks for putting it up
There was a total missed opportunity to say “this man is not guilty of murder, this man is only guilty of being Gordon W. Brittas.” But the ending was heartwarming in its way. Series 3 is great so far.
Agreed. Agreed.
That is his crime, it is also his punishment!
Julia St John was missed later on
Demon headmaster and billy Mitchell what a combination 😂
Gotta love Gordon Brittas!!
That leisure centre actually exists and is in use today but not in witbury Newtown, it's in ringwood
I was lucky enough to be going to Ringwood Comprehensive School (visible in some shots) in 1995 when the show was still being made, and used to watch the filming during lunch break. Good times ;-) The centre still looks the same now, aside from the fake foyer at the front entrance that was only there during filming.
By the third series which aired in 1993, The Brittas Empire had very high audience ratings, and the budget was increased, allowing for a lot more special effects. 1993 to 1994 was probably the peak of the show. The writers/creators wanted to end it at Christmas 1994, but the BBC continued with it until 1997, and it showed its weakness then.
The demon headmaster!
He was in secret army as the major.
Whats billy mitchell doing in Whitbury
Harold Innocent, who played the judge, died the year this was filmed.
What a great surname for someone playing a judge
Actually this episode was recorded in late 1992, and was first aired on Jan 7th 1993.
@@johnking5174 ah ok
I was so hoping that it turned out he had his hands glued to the bannister at the end
Yeah, that'd certainly baffle him, especially what with there being a Copper right next to him..
It's that the demon head master
Super Duper ❤🤶💯
29:10 Look at the name of the actor who played the judge...
Harold Innocent was a well known actor. He sadly died in 1993, nine months after this episode aired. This episode was recorded in the autumn of 1992. Harold was 60 when he died.
