This was the funniest tv show i ever saw as a kind, it was broadcasted here in germany too. To bad they down show it anymore.

Brilliant. I have not seen this since 1974 - although been hoping someone would publish it on youtube.

Used to be on at 20:30 on a Friday after Kung Fu - or was it before Kung Fu and Billy Liar was after ...... it has been more than 36 years now.....

Meraviglioso....... Lo cerco da anni in italiano...... Introvabile........ Pare che David Jason ne abbia acquistato i diritti e, siccome si vergogna di aver interpretato quel personaggio, non ne consentirebbe la pubblicazione..... Peccato!!!!!

@biciux64 Ho visto aqui Billy Liar in italiano - c'era al mismo tempo che Edgar Briggs. Spero che trovi!!

Wow, a very young David Jason... What an amazing actor :)

[RodCow]

Interestingly this had two people in it who played hubby and wife in 1980's sitcom 'Brush Strokes' (Gary Waldhorn and Elisabeth Counsell)

And before this he was to be seen in 'Do Not Adjust Your Set" with Michael Palin,Terry Jones and Eric Idle.

I have 9 episodes on DVD in English and 11 in German, so it's not as rare as it may seem. Well done Briggs! :-)

[olafreinhardweyer]

@juliansongs Are you in Germany, like me? Hell i'd love to get a copy from you!!!

[Witheredgoogie]

You can see now why Jason wants to forget it and the recording has been in somebody's dustbin LOL . But once again retunerman you have excelled in bringing unique items and historical pieces to our screen.Thanks

Is it supposed to be a spoof on James Bond?

I can see shades of DelBoy when he puts the 'after shave' on ha ha.

The kipper tie is mint :-)
