I remember watching them on the TV, but that was back in the early '90s (think they were broadcast after the last series of Brittas), & as far as I know they've never been repeated. If my memory serves me correctly, they were little short "public service" broadcasting things, with only a few of the cast members in (no Tim or Gavin, otherwise I'd probably have remembered more about them...). They were basically what it sounds like - trying to get people to do exercise routines. I remember thinking they were pretty cheesy at the time & wondering why Chris Barrie was doing them, but would probably make fabulous viewing now (as much of the early 90s stuff does).
I'll have a scout around some time to see if anything on them turns up.
If you're interested in other Brittas stuff, there's an excellent book "Gordon Brittas - Sharing the Dream" by jonathan Rice. Some lovely photos in there......
By the way - Hello & Welcome!

I would love to see what this was like! They should have put these episodes (I think they were only 10 minutes long) as special features on the boxset or something.  |

Okay, I get it now. IMDb was saying it was a spinoff, but it's more like a public service announcement. Thanks  |

They were pretty poor - it was when the BBC decided we as a nation needed to get fit. There was a whole spate of similar programmes - Brittas would have been by far the best though.  |

^They're incredibly rare, it's unlikely. I don't think I've seen any photos from it or anything. They should have put them as a special feature on the box set or something, especially as they're only ten minutes long. I'm a bit gutted about not being able to see what they were like. Another thing I'd like to see is the Comic Relief special they did with Frank Bruno.  |
