Adam Strange, a retired Home Office criminologist, solves bizarre cases - which had been marked "Open File" by various government departments - with the help of Hamlyn Gynt (Kaz Garas), Evelyn (Anneke Wills) and Professor Marks (Charles Lloyd Pack). He employed the latest techniques in forensic investigation, which he undertook in his own laboratory in his flat in Warwick Crescent in the Maida Vale/Little Venice area of Paddington.

Unlike other ITC productions which were created in order to be sold to a US market, Strange Report was created in collaboration with the US with the suggestion that the first half of the series would take place in the UK and the second half would see Strange visiting the US. This unfortunately fell through, which explains why such a short season of episodes was created.

The series opening theme, composed by Roger Webb, is considered to be one of the best TV themes of the 1960s.
