Monty Berman and Dennis Spooner followed up The Baron with this, a fantasy series about three superhuman spies which preempted The Six Million Dollar Man. It was a favourite of mine when I was a youngster, and I enjoy watching it still. Stuart Damon and William Gaunt had an unmistakable on-screen chemistry as Craig Stirling and Richard Barrett, while the luscious Alexandra Bastedo pouted her way through her role as Sharron Macready. The late Anthony Nicholls made a wonderfully gruff Tremayne. By far the best episodes were those written by Tony Williamson, Terry Nation and Brian Clemens, while Spooners own The Interrogation compared favourably with The Prisoner. I regret that there was never a second series; the concept had so much life left in it. Would Craig and Richard have been competitors for Sharrons affections? What if Tremayne had learned of the Champions powers? Did the Champions have any other abilities other than those we saw? We never found out, alas.
Monty Berman e Dennis Spooner seguiram o Baron com isso, uma série de fantasia sobre três espiões sobre-humanos que se antecipavam ao Homem de Seis Milhões de Dólares. Foi uma das minhas favoritas quando eu era mais nova e gosto de assistir ainda. Stuart Damon e William Gaunt tinham uma inconfundível química na tela como Craig Stirling e Richard Barrett, enquanto a luxuriosa Alexandra Bastedo fazia seu papel no papel de Sharron Macready. O falecido Anthony Nicholls fez um Tremayne maravilhosamente rude. De longe, os melhores episódios foram aqueles escritos por Tony Williamson, Terry Nation e Brian Clemens, enquanto Spooners, o próprio Interrogation, comparou favoravelmente com The Prisoner. Eu lamento que nunca houve uma segunda série; o conceito tinha muita vida nele. Craig e Richard teriam sido concorrentes pela afeição de Sharrons? E se Tremayne tivesse aprendido dos poderes dos Campeões? Os Campeões tiveram outras habilidades além das que vimos? Nós nunca descobrimos, infelizmente.
