"The Brittas empire kept me in stitches. Chris Barrie is one of the funniest actors I've seen! Pity they stopped the show...."

💡 Did You Know?

Though The Brittas Empire was predominately filmed in a studio, Ringwood Health & Leisure Centre in Hampshire - a fully functioning leisure centre - was used for many of the interior and all of the exterior shots. After extensive refurbishments in 2017, the Centre was re-opened with a full reunion of all of the original cast & writers.
