Nightmare Fuel / The Brittas Empire

• Helen in general. Here is a woman whose mental instability means that she will not hesitate in hunting you down if she feels that you've wronged her in any way. Give her a bad mark in schoolwork? She will run you down in her car. You a company who simply chose someone other than her babies for a commercial? She'll poison your brand of blackcurrent juice with laxatives. Merely get mistaken for cheating with her husband? She'll try to murder you outright. Making matters worse is that a Running Gag involves her not knowing how many children she has or where they all are at the minute. And the number of children she has did go down over the series....
• "Underwater Wedding" ends with Brittas, amidst the chaos of the day, forgetting to rescue the best man at the wedding held at the centre from the bottom of the pool. The final shot of the episode is a zoom-out shot of the best man on the verge of drowning at the bottom of the pool in the dark. To make matters worse, turning on the subtitles reveals that he's begging for someone to come and rescue him. Clearly not a pleasant way to go...
• Thanks to Brittas' actions in "The Trial", several gangsters declare a Mob War and shoot each other dead. If it isn't one of them reaching out to Carole drenched in blood, it's the fact that both the aforementioned gangster and another one seen later are seen dead with blood pooling behind their heads.
• "That Creeping Feeling" is not a pleasant episode for those afraid of spiders to say the least - it sees a South American Tarantula, said to be one of the most poisonous animals in the world, crawling around the centre. One that has already mated with another tarantula, meaning that it's ready to release its 300 eggs to the public. If that isn't scary enough for you, than it's the fact that it ends up biting Colin from within his trousers, with only Brittas' intervention keeping him from death's door. Or the fact that Carole unknowingly puts it in the same drawer that she's keeping her infant daughter Emily in, even if no harm was ultimately done to her in the end.
