Top Secret Life of Edgar Briggs / David Jason ITV LWT London Weekend Television 1974

Long before there was Only Fools & Horses, David Jason appeared in this sit-com produced by LWT and screened on the ITV network in the autumn of 1974. Apologies for the quality as it was taken from a red and nasty 16mm film recording. However, this is probably the only opportunity to see anything from this programme as it is unlikely to get a repeat or a DVD release. I hope you enjoy it.

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

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!!!!!
