Ah, nostalgia's not what it used to be! Despite plots with holes so big you could drop a supertanker in, this is a really enjoyable series from the sixties. Obviously, it looks somewhat dated; there is one scene in a garage in London with petrol at 5/4 (= 27p) per gallon - about 5p per litre - I wish! However, this, for me, is the attraction; it has rickety sets, computers with spinning reels of tape and a myriad of flashing lights, three agents who are always immaculately dressed in jacket and tie, or a dress, and communications with nothing more advanced than a radio or a telephone. The other big attraction is spotting the well-known faces that appeared in series like this at the star of their careers - Donald Sutherland, Steven Berkoff, Kate O'Mara, Paul Eddington, Bernard Lee and Donald Houston, amongst others, all appear as guest actors in various episodes. One thing I do like is the voiceover near the start of each episode explaining how Craig, Sharron and Richard got their super powers from a lost race in Tibet and how they must keep them secret from the rest of humanity, usually as it shows them on a golf course knocking in holes-in-one in front of other people, or picking up weights in a gym that the bodybuilder has struggled with - very secret! Overall, an excellent boxed set if you want some great nostalgia and a not-too-complicated and often ludicrous plot lines!Read full review
Brings back memories of when I watched it when I was 10! Its of its time, a bit low budget at times but excellent storyline. I enjoyed it

I’ve been after this product for a while, but since Networks demise, the prices of 1960’s action adventure series have shot up I’m pleased to have purchased The Champions within the budget I set for myself
