Season 2, Episode 5, entitled "Mums and Dads," sees Mr. Brittas struggling to cope with the demands of an upcoming inspection from the leisure center's parent committee. The parents are coming to look at the facilities and meet the staff, and Brittas is determined to impress them with a perfect day.
