The Odd Man

1960–1963 · 4 seasons

A patient, talky black-and-white procedural where charm and character quirks matter more than action, rewarding close attention.

Created by
Edward Boyd
Genres
Crime, Drama
Overview
The first of a trilogy of police procedurals produced in the 1960s by Granada TV, linked by the presence of pompous but increasingly genial police Chief Inspector Charles Rose, The Odd Man initially dealt with the investigations of theatrical-agent-cum-detective Steve Gardiner, and his encounters with the police in the form of Chief Inspector Gordon and DS Swift. By season three, Rose takes Gardiner's place.
