About the Book

Somewhere in the depths of Whitehall two shady puppeteers pull strings, manipulate events and, via their 'tentacles' in the outside world, defy their superiors to affect the international order - all from the confines of their cosy office. Starring Richard Vernon (A Hard Day's Night, Goldfinger, The Hiitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy) as the former code breaker and Cambridge intellectual Edwin Oldenshaw and Michael Aldridge (Last of the Summer Wine, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Charters and Caldicott) as his intellectually equal but frequently playful colleague. Written by Robin Chapman (Big Breadwinner Hog, Boon, Tales of the Unexpected), The Man in Room 17 is a fine example of the ingenuity and ideology prevalent in those working for production juggernaut Granada Television in the mid 1960's. Includes: Thirteen chapters providing episode-by-episode analysis including transmission information, details on the many guest stars to appear in the series and a look at the outdated technology used by Oldenshaw and Dimmock, the mythology surrounding Room 17 and cast and crew information.

The 'instant' guide Everything you wanted to know and more besides.
