''Department S'' is a British Crime Drama series which ran between 1969 and 1970. The titular Department was a department of Interpol which took on cases that other crime agencies couldn't solve, either because they were too baffling or because sometimes it wasn't even certain that a crime had been committed. The Department was tasked by diplomat Sir Curtis Seretse and was headed by former FBI agent Stewart Sullivan and assisted by computer expert Annabel Hurst. The third member of the team, mustachioed crime writer Series/JasonKing, was given his own spin-off series.

!! Contains the following tropes

* EditedForSyndication: One of the DVD extras is a version of an episode that's been cut to a ''half-hour'' for US syndication. Not surprisingly, the storyline is hacked down to the point of incomprehensibility.

The joy of the series came from the bizarre plots the writers thought up (sometimes involving a LockedRoomMystery, sometimes just involving circumstances that were plain weird) and the way the three main characters used their own methods of solving the crimes; Stewart Sullivan dived straight in, Annabel Hurst took a more logical analytical approach and Jason King was the ideas man. Their boss Sir Curtis Seretse[[note]] Named in honour of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seretse_Khama Sir Seretse Khama[[/note]] was a cool, competent international diplomat of Nigerian extraction who sometimes took an active part in missions, at a time when it was very rare to see black actors in leading roles on British television.
