The Champions - Stuart Damon (1967) - Victoria Harbour

Next up is an episode of the 1967 British TV series, The Champions. It stars Stuart Damon, William Gaunt and Alexandra Bastedo as three secret agents bestowed with supernatural powers by mysterious ancient Tibetan tribe following a plane crash in the Tibetan mountains. They work for a secret service called Nemesis and undertake dangerous missions all around Elstree Studios...sorry, I mean the world.

In one episode, The Interrogation, originally broadcast in 1969, Craig Stirling (Stuart Damon) has been sent to Hong Kong for a mission but, following its successful conclusion, he is kidnapped and drugged and undergoes interrogation to find out the details of his mission. The Hong Kong footage, much like Jason King, utilises stock/library footage for the Hong Kong scenes as Stirling recalls what happened.

The opening Hong Kong shot is one of the harbour as seen from Kowloon-side. For your viewing pleasure I have also stitched the panning shot together using the very excellent Matt Brown coded, Autostitch. Click to zoom in.
