Ludicrous Faces Masterclass: Chris Barrie

TV Comedy

This may be the most pointless thing I have ever done. But also one of the most enjoyable. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the final image of each episode of The Brittas Empire, or: Chris Barrie teaching the world how to pull silly faces. Image-heavy page under the cut.

Some supremely pointless number-crunching, then. (Look, if a certain Seb Patrick can get away with it, I’m going to.) Obviously, most of those images feature Chris Barrie alone, but not all of them. Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Brittas alone: 37/52 (71%)
  • Brittas and one other: 7/52 (13%)
  • Brittas in a group: 2/52 (4%)
  • Other characters: 5/52 (10%)
  • Nobody: 1/52 (1%)

The characters blessed with an image to themselves who aren’t Brittas, incidentally, are: a Best Man stuck at the bottom of a pool, Helen Brittas, an ostrich, Colin Weatherby, and Linda Perkin.

Yes, there was an ostrich buried in the middle of that.

An ostrich.

I’m off for a lie down.
