Doctor Syn

[tenaya]

Anyone remember that lovely movie with Patrick McGoohan? It was based on the novels of Russell Thorndike and they have been out of print for decades. Apparently, some publishing house has reprinted them because Amazon has a few titles of the series, published in June of 2004. I'm so excited! That movie though...I was utterly captivated by McGoohan's Dr. Syn. Powerful, mysterious, heroic and a total rogue--when he wasn't being the milktoast vicar. And he was sexy as hell. I must have been all of 5 years old when I was swept away by the goings on at Romney Marsh.

Did I mention I was excited?

LOL there does seem to be a pattern doesn't it?

Well in the case of The Champions it's a tie between Richard and Stuart. After all we did get The Interrogation where Stuart's character got "interrogated" and he did end up getting knocked over the head often enough ;-)

So yeah 4/5 sisters

Stuart. I remember him being all sweaty and confused. It was a good look for him. I did feel a little cheated that when Richard was kidnapped, he wasn't hurt at all. Even as a small child, I knew that that was both a lost opportunity and just plain wrong!

Agreed. What's the point of having a character kidnapped and nothing happens to him? I mean at least a little bump on the head or something ;-)

Tied up at least. Physically threatened goes without saying. The captive should be worried! Richard was quite comfy and busy playing mindgames, darn it!
