Is There Anything On?

An utterly subjective wish-list of the things I’d like to see, and the things I never want to see again!

We seem to live in an age of reboots, remakes, spin-offs, prequels, sequels and adaptations. I mean, fair-dos, there’s a ton of good stuff out there, but there is also a small herd of dead horses that people will insist on flogging! So here, in no particular order, are some things I’d like to see, and some I wouldn’t!

TV Reboots I’d Like to See

The Champions: This fantasy/espionage programme ran for three seasons (30 episodes) in the late Sixties and was repeated into the Seventies. It featured three agents of an organisation called Nemesis, who were involved in a plane crash in the Himalayas. Awaking in the wreckage, apparently uninjured, they found themselves in possession of enhanced mental, sensory and physical abilities as well as some psychic powers. Later they discovered that they had been rescued by members of an advanced hidden race, who had not only healed, but upgraded them. They decide to continue working for Nemesis but to keep their powers secret. I enjoyed this one because the agents’ ‘powers’, were neither overdone nor overused. They were always just that little bit better than the foes they faced, but not to the point that the danger wasn’t real. A modern reboot would give them a little tech to play with as well!
