From experience Barclays, Halifax and Lloyds let you collect from branch, although this was a few years ago.

Barclays no longer offer this. Some larger branches have card print machines that can make a new card on the spot for emergency issue, but this requires you the know the existing PIN so can't be used for the first card at account opening.

I am going off the subject now but is attempted fraud a crime?

I would ruddy well hope so! Attempted murder is a crime, so why not attempted fraud? (I am, quite self evidently, not a lawyer). Bear in mind you would need some evidence to present to the police, simply believing that your flatmates are a bit dodgy wouldn't interest them.
