Champions of law, order and justice this Scifi and Secret Agent series revolves around a team of agents with superhuman powers. Craig Sterling (Damon), Sharron Macready (Bastedo) and Richard Barrett (Gaunt) are agents for an international intelligence organisation called NEMESIS. After a plane crash and being rescued by an unknown civilisation the trio make their way back Geneva to continue their work, only to discover they have mysteriously developed super-human abilities like telepathy, amazing memories and abnormal strengths.
Instead of telling anyone about these developments, they keep their secret quiet but use their new powers to help complete a range of dangerous assignments.
Another of the prime period classic ITC Action Adventure shows, with some great off the wall plots and plenty of the classic back projection to suggest foreign locales!
