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 a show where 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 relying upon thinly written material.
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.
