Get Me Out Of Here!
Written by Ralph Smart | Directed by Cyril Frankel


Prologue
Sharron is sharing a train carriage with a young couple and an old lady when a man enters. He suspiciously looks over the other passengers and when the train goes through a tunnel, thereby causing a breif black-out, the man reaches over to snatch the old lady's purse. However, Sharron sees this and swaps the purse with a cup of hot coffee causing the man unexpectedly scolds his fingers. The embarrassed man immediately exits the carriage, to Sharron's satisfaction. No one, except Sharron, saw what happened.

"Sharron Macready, one of the Champions. Endowed with the qualities and skills of a super human. Qualities and skills that include fantastic vision, the ability to see in the dark. Sharron Macready, who with Craig Stirling and Richard Barrett, encountered a lost civilisation in the wasteland of Tibet. The unknown race of people from the lost city gave them gifts both physical and mental to the peak of human performance. Now those gifts are a secret to be closely guarded for it's that secret that enables them to to use those powers to their best advantage as the Champions of law, order and justice. Operators of the international agency of Nemesis."

Synopsis
Professor Anna Maria Martes, a world famous doctor is held against her will on a Caribbean island. The Champions attempt to rescue her and take her to the United States, where she wants to continue her work. When Craig is overheard telling her that they will rescue her that night, she is moved to police headquarters where it is thought a rescue is impossible.

Review
One of the less interesting episodes of the series, even though the plot is quite original. Moments such as Craig and Richard's walk through police headquarters in the dark are done well. They use their fantastic eyesight to navigate their way around while the police in the room with them are totally blind. A nice bit is when Richard delibrately moves a lamp to the edge of a table so the man crawling around it will knock it off. Their explanation to Tremayne about their cat-like vision at the end of the episode is that they eat a lot of carrotts.

The second half of the episode picks up the pace and it finishes much better than it started.
