Movie Reviews of The Champions - Set One
Movie Review: The Champions DVD Set
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember watching this series as a summer replacement show and being totally enthralled. It was a British spy show and I thought the characters were so cool. They still look very 1968-mod and the hair styles are outlandishly dated. But it is still fun to watch as a time capsule of that era. They had the same pocket doors that were so futuristic on Star Trek, and the dots were certainly placed close together for the audience with such "special effects" as the main characters holding their fingertips to their foreheads when using their ESP with each other. The tinkling windchime sound effect also tipped us off when other special powers were being used. If you liked The Prisoner and/or The Avengers, I think you'd also enjoy this series.Movie Review: Great Series

I loved the Champions when it came to the U.S. in the late 60's and it was a pleasure to see it for sale in the U.S.
The only problem was that it was just half the episodes and after such a long while, I guess that is it, no second half.
I did get the British set which includes lively commentary by the stars of the show ( William Gaunt is hilarous) and
an all region DVD player so I could see all the episodes. Well worth the trouble. Except for some clunky electronics, the show hold up surprisingly well. It is great to see Stuart Damon, William Gaunt, and Alexandra Bastedo in this series.
Movie Review: The Champions classic lost series!

I never heard of this! It was before my time but I'm a big fan
of old british tv. I love the Persuaders and the Protectors so
I got the Spy collection and this series was on it! I have only
watched 3 episodes and I love it. Spy meets Star Trek series!
The show is very well written and acted. I would've loved this as
a kid. How come this never ran in syndication? or did it? I
highly recommend this series for true classic tv collectors.
One of the best series ever made. Can't wait to watch all.
Movie Review: Classic British TV
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched the Champions when it aired on US TV more than twenty years ago. The quality of the show truly struck me. Here was a spy thriller with the twist that the agents had been endowed with more than human powers. There were no supervillains, but simply evil men. The plots had more incommon with Mission Impossible than the Wild Wild West. The super powers were low keyed and the episode usually focused on a single ability, such as being able to see in the dark or the ability to remain under water for six to nine minutes.Movie Review: The Champions

I remember this early "super hero" show from the 70s. I had just recently returned home after doing my military duty in Great Britain. Watching the "Nemesis" heroes tooling around London or through the countryside brings back warm feelings I have for that country.
The quality of the packaging is excellent. The discs themselves were also excellent. I am very pleased with this product. Another excellent Monty Berman production.
