The Champions (1968–1969)
9/10
A blast from the past and what a blast!

I am of the age where I watched the original series although I didn't really understand it I still found it enjoyable. Now it is back on Talking Pictures TV and I'm loving it. It's old time TV at it's best, cheesy perhaps, but, oh so enjoyable unlike most modern TV dramas these days. The three agents gain enhanced senses and strengths from a hidden Tibetan society after their plane crashes while on a mission to China, not superpowers as many have said in other reviews. They are clean cut and glamourous and immensely watchable. Just plain good old fashioned fun. However, many younger viewers may find it naive and even offensive at times, although it absolutely isn't.

Talking Pictures TV has done it again, yet another wonderful series from the 1950's, 60s and 70s to remind us what TV was about, entertainment. No messages, political correctness or colour casting. It was what it was and I wish they made more programmes like these ones, no graphic sex, bad language or over the top violence.. lovely.
