The Champions

(1968)

Crime / Drama / Suspense

The series starred Stuart Damon as Craig Stirling, Alexandra Bastedo as Sharron Macready and William Gaunt as Richard Barrett. The characters are agents for a United Nations law enforcement organization called 'Nemesis', based in Geneva. The three have different backgrounds: Barrett is a code breaker, Stirling a pilot, and Macready a recently widowed scientist and doctor.

During their first mission as a team, their plane crashes in the Himalayas. They are rescued by an advanced civilization living secretly in the mountains, who save their lives, granting them perfected human abilities, including powers to communicate with one another over distances by ESP (telepathy), and to foresee events (precognition), enhanced five senses and intellect, and physical abilities to the fullest extent of human capabilities. The main characters had to learn the use of their new powers as they went along, keeping what they discover secret from friends and foe alike.

Each episode began with a pre-credits vignette in which one of The Champions demonstrated exceptional mental or physical abilities, often astonishing or humiliating others. NTSC and region-free
