The american version I've bought at amazon.com has only 15 episodes and it's very expensive. There is no special making of or something different like that. But I've bought the complete series (30 episodes)at AMAZON.CO.UK for less!!!

My husband and I remembered this show from the '60's as 'the coolest show' from Britain. So, when I saw it available on dvd, I had to get it. Of course things are never quite like you thought they were after 40 yrs. But, except for the episode about how they got their powers, the shows are still fun. My daughter was visiting when our set arrived, and so we started watching them. She was 'hooked' and wanted to watch several episodes in a row, as often as possible, since she had to leave in a couple of days. I guess this set would be great if you remember '60's TV. For the younger generation the show might be amusing, a 'period piece'.

I watched this series when I was a "tween" and I was hoping that it would be available on DVD. Those of you who have not seen it are in for a treat. This was the first time that I seen Stuart Damon (Dr. Alan Quartermain, General Hospital) and enjoyed his acting.

And they were "very different", yet very much "the same". As in, the same consistent quality, the same creative genius, and the same colorful "FAB"-ness as two other ITC series in production at the same time, (the great season of '68), "The Avengers" and "The Prisoner"! And each one of these short-lived T.V. series from that long gone period in space and time, and all the cast and crew members involved in their production, and the basic premise behind them, individually and as a whole, were "very different" and very special indeed. So, this set was a very special treat for me to discover and then experience for the very first time! Especially after my having endured several painful months of the B.C.S.W.'s, ("British Cult Series Withdrawals"), whilst I was left hopelessly jonesin' for one more fix! However, I feel all right now, as "The Champions" managed to hit the spot. And for all of this plus so much more, I thank you ITC! Cheery-bye. - S->

The U.S. version, brought to us by A&E, has only 15 episodes on it. Thanks to another reviewer, I found the Special Edition on the British Amazon site, and purchased it as well, and have been enjoying all the episodes, the special "movie" with two episodes blended together, and a reunion among the three main stars of the series, Stuart Damon, Alexandra Bastedo and William Gaunt--the first time in decades.

If you aren't sure of your DVD player's capabilities of playing a Region 2 DVD, though, you might want to stick with the American version. On your computer, however, most DVD programs will allow you to change the region code up to 4 times, and that is how I've been watching mine, although I do have a region-free player as well. The difference in price is nominal (about $15) and there are so many more perks with the Special Edition.
