The Top Secret Life of Edgar Briggs, 1974
He’s starred in some of our best loved sitcoms and these days when we hear the name David Jason we immediately recall Del Boy or Granville.
This early David Jason sitcom lasted just one series, however there were 13 episodes.
The series itself has been likened to an earlier American TV series – Get Smart.
Summary
David Jason plays the inept Edgar Briggs, personal assistant to the Commander of the British Secret Intelligence Service.
Briggs is an agent who, in spite of his cluelessness, manages to solve case after case.
