Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

alexanderdavies-99382 The idea behind "The Champions," is certainly an interesting one and should have made for a classic series. Having regular characters who are imbued with special powers, is a pretty good gimmick. Sadly, what we are left with, is something where by the final results are weakened by the following. The three leads are about as dull as they come. There is ZERO chemistry between them and they don't seem very enthusiastic about giving even a digestible performance. Having an American in the cast didn't make any difference either. The other problem I find, is that some of the episodes are poorly written. Some are rubbish because they don't make much sense and others are just drawn out by becoming contrived. The title music is actually better than I expected and Anthony Nicholls is well cast as the boss. The opening episode was OK and there are about 7 others that I can tolerate. How on earth this series lasted 30 episodes, I shall never know! 12 of them would have been more than enough.

King_Thorondor When I was six yo, I learned about a series called "Los Campeones", and even if I was just a kid I did everything I need to convince my parents to let me watch "The Champions" and "the Avengers" once every week. I think that was the Golden Age of English series... (I already own the complete cycle of "The Prisoner"!) but lasted also a few years later with "The Tomorrow People", "the Worst Witch" (I just me, or this is "Harry Potter" in girl, of course, before As much as I want "The Campions" to be in Zone 1 or Zone 4, I'm also waiting for "Dr. Who" (pack the whole series in a set of, uhm, maybe 300 DVD's, please, I couldn't expend more for it, 8), "People of Tomorrow", and several other 'low budget', but great stories to be available within my reached zones. I speak and understand English, but not all my relatives do, including my parents, whom introduced me into these great stories... I hope someday, someone could feel the attraction of these series and then could sell them as I originally view them... Dubbed or subtitled, but in the same format I saw them. Remember, Zone 1 or 4 are OK with my TV set!

Big Movie Fan Oh, the 60's were a great era for all genres from action to sci-fi to comedy. Will we ever reclaim those days?The Champions was an outstanding fantasy show about three agents who worked for Nemesis, an international agency. In the pilot episode they were given powers by a mysterious monk. They had powers of telepathy, super strength and other powers.As for the adventures themselves, the Champions battled villains who were threatening no less than the world itself. The Champions were a bit too powerful at times but it was still fun seeing them beat the bad guys. And for a male like myself, it was fun to see the beautiful Alexandra Bastedo kicking butt.The Champions was one of many great 60's shows.

dubnut You can tell by the Buddhist overtones in the first 2 episodes that Dennis Spooner was involved here. The Champions, or what I've seen of the series (6 episodes), is yet another in the long line of 60s-70s spy shows from Great Britain. But the marked difference here is the special abilities given to each of the main characters.They all have unusual, superhuman powers which aid them in their crime-busting. It's a bit cheesy at times, but whatever gets the job done...I know that The Champions are virtually unheard of in my native country, but the videos are commercially available in the UK. If you're fond of obscure technicolor british action-adventure, then you can't miss The Champions. The only problem I have with the series so far: Why do so many British shows have American actors at the helm?
