What happens

The Man in Room 17 is a British television series which ran for two series in the mid-1960s, then a follow up series The Fellows (Late of Room 17), produced by Granada Television. Key to the series' success was the involvement of writer/producer Robin Chapman. The main characters were "high-IQ" sleuths investigating espionage cases and similarly complex cases.
