Gordon Brittas arrives at Whitbury Leisure Centre for his first day as manager.

At the end of the day, Brittas has an unusual problem with his car.
2: Opening Day (10 Jan 91)
Whitbury New Town Leisure Centre is about to open to the public.

Carole gets a phone call from her estranged huband. He tells her that he's decided to come home.
A woman loses her baby. Brittas finds it and assumes that it's Carole's baby.
Carole isn't in Reception when her husband arrives at the Leisure Centre. Brittas shows him the child he mistakenly believes to be Carole's. Unfortunately, the baby in question is Black, so Carole's husband jumps to the obvious conclusion and storms off.
Meanwhile, Carole can't find her real baby. She assumes that Brittas has taken it, so she goes looking for him, brandishing an axe.
4: Underwater Wedding (24 Jan 91)
During an underwater wedding in the main swimming pool, the best man gets trapped at the bottom of the pool. Then there's a drunk in an electric wheelchair racing along the corridors.

Attendance figures for the Leisure Centre are far too low. Brittas has some wild schemes to improve the situation. Meanwhile, he's being stalked by a killer.

Going home that evening, Gordon is knocked down by a treacle lorry and ends up in intensive care.
