Has anyone else noticed a certain similarity between the fictional Gordan Brittas (The Brittas Empire) and Ideal’s Tim Britton
From what I saw of yesterday’s Bike Box show, there seemed to be quite an emphasis on the ‘comedy’ element, with Peter Simon doing his utmost to embarrass Tim with innuendo and general crudity.
A typical scene from yesterday’s ‘The Britton Empire’ was when Peter asked Tim if he was wearing any underwear. Such a completely inappropriate question was enough to have the Ideal World studio in stitches (no need for canned laughter at this channel). It would be fair to say that Peter seemed to have quite a thing for Tim, or ‘Timbo’ as he would refer to him, and this was manifest in the general horseplay that featured throughout the show...although it has to be said that such ‘horseplay’ was entirely one-sided on Peter Simon’s side.
Just like the fictional Brittas Empire, Tim’s good intentions were always going to end in farce. Rather than demonstrating fitness equipment, his real role was to provide a straight man, or stooge, for Peter Simon’s increasingly suggestive camp capers. In this role, Tim proved the consummate professional.
When it comes to squirming with embarrassment, or being professionally undermined by an ageing former Ronald McDonald actor, then this really was an Oscar-winning performance:mysmilie_59:
