There is a reason The Champions keeps coming up in conversation. The Champions treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. After a plane carrying three Agents crashes in the Himalayas, they are rescued by an advanced civilisation secretly living in Tibet who grant them enhanced versions of the ordinary five senses, and intellectual and physical abilities. Alexandra Bastedo and William Gaunt lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. It was aired in 1968–1969. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, The Champions fits the bill. Fans of The Boys will recognise the sensibility here immediately. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Alexandra Bastedo in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

The Champions wrapped up in 1969, created by Monty Berman and Dennis Spooner — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
