The Champions "The Interrogation" #1.19 (1969) (TV)

Doesn't "feel" like the other episodes15 March 2017


Craig awakens to find himself held prisoner by an unknown man in an unknown location. He is drugged and interrogated. He is repeatedly asked about the details of his most recent mission. Craig is able to resist, but for how long?

I'll keep this short. As my rating would indicate, I am not a fan of The Interrogation. The whole plot doesn't make sense given what we've seen in prior episodes or what would come after. I don't see any way that Craig (or even Richard and Sharon for that matter) would have stayed on with Nemesis after this episode. I could easily see all three walking out in protest. I know they have a certain amount of loyalty, but loyalty is two way street. Also, as I've said any number of times, I prefer episodes where all three are involved. For all practical purposes, Richard and Sharon are not in The Interrogation.

I will say this, however, Stuart Damon is very good in The Interrogation. It's probably his best work in the entire series. And Colin Blakely, the unknown interrogator, is just as good. It's some of the best acting you'll find in The Champions. Too bad it comes in an episode I care so little for.


5/10
