Another excellent, off-beat spy drama from the ITC stable with an unusual premise, likeable cast and some clever, witty and inventive stories. The opening episode in particular has a spookiness to it that perhaps later episodes lacked, but overall The Champions was a slick, glossy and hugely entertaining addition to ITC's already impressive canon.
