Transformed by strange experiences following a Himalayan plane crash, The Champions were a team of superhuman law enforcers who tackled dastardly international villains in 30 cult television episodes made by ITC and broadcast in 1968 and 1969. In this making of documentary, stars Stuart Damon, Alexandra Bastedo, and William Gaunt are reunited to remember stories from their time on the series.
‘The Champions’ created by Dennis Spooner (Doctor Who, The Avengers, Thunderbirds, The New Avengers, Man in a Suitcase) and produced by Monty Berman (The Saint, Gideon's Way, Department S, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), The Baron) and was aired across the ITV network.

About Me:
Century 21 Films Ltd is a multi-faceted production company whose work spans drama to documentary, miniature effects to puppet shows. It was founded by a group of filmmakers who first collaborated on Filmed in Supermarionation, the story of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's hit puppet shows including Thunderbirds, Stingray and Captain Scarlet.
Since then, we have worked for a multitude of high-profile clients including ITV, BBC, Mammoth Productions, British Film Institute and the Halifax working on projects such Thunderbirds, Endeavour, Doctor Who and The Twilight Zone.
In addition to our regular filmmaking services, we specialise in ‘Supermarionation’ - the puppetry filming technique used to make shows like Thunderbirds and have collaborated with ITV repeatedly to provide specialised services. Our work has been featured on The One Show, This Morning, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, ITV News and Mastermind.
