EP1 Arson May 19, 1967

Oldenshaw and Dimmock have taken up the Home Secretary's offer of the legendary Peel Research Fellowship at All Saints College, Cambridge. Their brief is to investigate the changing causes and nature of crime and, ultimately, to advise the police, the legislature, and the government.

Oldenshaw and Dimmock turn their attention to the eternal menace of organised crime. Two worlds: one reflecting upon the others dark reflection...

EP3 Inside Out: Part Two Jun 02, 1967

Dimmock is not investigating crime as vigorously as Oldenshaw would wish. Indeed, it could even be said that at present no-one except the villain is gainfully employed...

EP4 Where in Justice Lies Jun 09, 1967

The underworld holds its own court, trying a man for allegedly stealing money from the protection racket fees he collected. Oldenshaw does a little research on Spindoe, the self-appointed judge, while Dimmock is preoccupied with the theft of his ancient bicycle...

EP5 The Golden Goose Jun 16, 1967

EP6 Spindoe's Move Jun 23, 1967

The Fellows' first experiment within the field of crime they are surveying succeeds - up to a point. After all, they were not to know that Alec Spindoe's rawest recruit should like driving cars more than stealing them!

EP7 A Snatch in Time Jun 30, 1967

The fellows plan their own crime to catch a gang of crooks: the theft of radioactive isotopes from a government research station. As expected, the underworld hears of the scheme, and the Kerrigan gang decide to swoop first. The trap is ready to be sprung...

EP8 The Domestic Diplomat Jul 07, 1967

Oldenshaw loses a book on a train - nothing important, but irritating. As a result a girl's life hangs in the balance and Oldenshaw is forced to re-examine his own motives for studying crime. Neither Dimmock nor Mrs. Hollinczech like the look of the new Oldenshaw...

EP9 Final Demand Jul 14, 1967

Dimmock receives a letter demanding £2,000. What's more, Oldenshaw wrote it. And it's not the only one he's sent; Spindoe has received a demand for £20,000, with threats to his wife if it isn't paid. Dimmock is appalled by the tactic, and Spindoe starts planning a big job...

EP10 No Cage for This Bird Jul 21, 1967

Safebreaker George Bird is of little use to his friends behind the bars of Strangeways Prison, so underworld boss Kerrigan plans to spring him. The Fellows, still not on speaking terms, take a look at prison escape organisations.

EP11 Violence Jul 28, 1967

The field full of folk that the Home Office asked the Fellows to scrutinise becomes for them - as it has always been for others - a battlefield. And many of those involved have been maimed for life.

EP12 The Straight Way Aug 18, 1967

Having resolved their difficulties, Oldenshaw and Dimmock consider for a moment the policeman. He is an interesting phenomenon...after all, very few animals select others of their kind to look after them.

EP13 The Solicitor Aug 11, 1967

For Heaven's sake, do not applaud the honesty of the Fellows. It is not even worth considering why they have not committed a crime. They live as if they had. In this episode, two men fight to defend their property...

Synopsis

Richard Vernon and Michael Aldridge star as Home Office-appointed criminologists in this clever, humorous and highly original Granada series. Devised and co-written by the award-winning Robin Chapman – the creator of the series’ famous prequel The Man in Room 17 – The Fellows charts the continuing work and often strained relationship of Room 17’s former occupants Oldenshaw and Dimmock. Now appointed to the Peel Research Fellowship at All Saints’ College, Cambridge, they no longer simply solve crimes, trap spies and hunt traitors; their new brief is to investigate the changing nature of crime, ultimately advising the police, legislature and government. But the familiar cat-and-mouse game with the criminal fraternity isn’t over yet, and and their ingeniously unorthodox tactics help to ensnare several lynchpins of organised crime – including infamous gangland boss Spindoe.

Reviews

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
