Synopsis:

The Man is Oldenshaw: an immodest, ex-Oxford type with a mind trained to devour information like a computer. He rose to prominence during the planning of D-Day. His partner is Defraits: Oldenshaw's red-brick equal. Room 17 is the secret centre of operations for the Department of Special Research, a unit set up to study the criminal mind and handle cases that have baffled the police and security services. Answerable only to the Prime Minister, the men in Room 17 pull the strings that make the undercover world dance, without even leaving the confines of their Whitehall office. Starring Richard Vernon and Denholm Elliott as the celebrated super-sleuths, The Man in Room 17 featured clever plot twists, dry humour and innovative production. Created by Big Breadwinner Hog's Robin Chapman, this brilliantly inventive Granada series gained cult status early on and remains very much so to this day.

Crime series about a secret government department, "Room 17", set up to deal with crimes that baffle police & government agencies. Headed by veteran WW2 agent Oldenshaw and partnered, initially, with criminologist Dimmock (later replaced by Imlac Defraits in series 2), the two men solved all manner of crimes with one unique difference - they never left the confines of their office, working out the problems of the case from "home"...
