Awesome / The Brittas Empire

Go To

  • The climax of "Back From the Dead" has the normally meek Carole led to believe that Brittas has stolen her son Ben to gain eternal youth, so she does what any concerned parent would, hijack an excavator and crush Brittas inside his car whilst laughing maniacally.
  • In "The Christening", the insufferable Philippa (essentially a female Brittas), rounds off her streak of insulting people by calling Helen a bad mother. Helen is unable to punch Philippa in the face as she's being held back by both arms... so she dives forward and nuts her.
  • The last ten minutes of "High Noon" all count, Brittas has gotten a metal pole stuck down the back of his clothes and is unable to remove it. As this is happening, faulty clock in the staff room sparks and ignites a gas leak causing a massive explosion, causing the centre to collapse. As Brittas shuffles down a hallway, part of the roof collapses and traps him, with the pole holding up the ceiling. The staff, fleeing for their lives, discover him trapped there and try to help him, but he forces them to go on to safety. As they arrive outside, Carole realises her son, Ben, is still playing in the ventilation ducts, while a news reporter confirms two schoolgirls are still trapped inside, all four believed to be dead. Back inside the collapsing centre, Ben crawls out of a vent and helps cut Brittas loose with a large knife and the staff all watch in awe as Brittas rises from the smoke with the lost children like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Then he faints.
  • In "Pregnant!", Gavin overhears through Carole's baby monitor Brittas intending to strip Tim of his clothing to check if he was a woman or not. What does he do? He vaults over the reception desk, runs his way to Brittas and punches him in the face to save Tim. Even Brittas was amazed by that.
  • Whilst he certainly did not deliberately do it, "The Last Day" showing that Brittas is annoying enough that not even the denizens and otherworldly beings of Heaven want to be involved in his antics is rather remarkable.
