The Champions "Happening" #1.5 (1968) (TV)

Richard gets lost in the Outback, 3 September 2015

Wow, I can't believe the low rating of 6.3 for Happening. I thought it was great. In this one, Richard is investigating possible sabotage in connection with a bomb test in the Australian Outback. After falling from a helicopter, he wakes with amnesia. Can he regain his memories in time to deactivate the dirty nuclear device someone has attached the the bomb? And, can Sharron and and Craig help him from 50 miles away?

A couple of things I liked: 1. Happening has to be most tension filled episode I've seen so far. I was literally on the edge of my seat by the end. 2. Sharron's long-distance CPR scene was really cool. I always like seeing newly discovered powers. 3. Michael Gough, even in a small role, is always fun. 

A couple of things I didn't like: 1. The fake desert sets are really bad. They distract from what is otherwise a fantastic episode. 2. While Craig is able to help Richard diffuse the bomb, I'm not sure how he's going to explain it all away. Tremayne was standing right beside him and saw what was happening. Plus, Sturat Damon's facial expression in these scenes are laugh-out-loud funny. Every time he gives Richard a telepathic instruction, he looks like he's having an orgasm.

Overall, a very interesting, entertaining episode that I'm giving an 8/10.
