Synopsis

My Hero is a BBC sitcom created by Paul Mendelson. The programme ran for six series, first broadcast in February 2000, and concluding in September 2006. The series follows the antics of the dim-witted superhero "Thermoman", portrayed by Ardal O'Hanlon in series one to five and by James Dreyfus in the final series. The series was regularly directed by John Stroud. In the UK, the digital channel Gold regularly re-runs the programme, although the last series has yet to appear on the channel. In the United States it was shown on PBS and, briefly, BBC America. In Australia, UKTV offered re-runs of the first three series, while BBC Entertainment provided repeats for Scandinavia.

carl170 A show that seems to get people angry if you dare to say you like it. Well, I'm going to do just that. I love this show. I really do.When you get lines like this just peppered in throughout the show...Dr. Piers Crispin: What are you doing tonight, Mrs Raven? Mrs. Raven: I'm taking the triplets to see the Exorcist. Dr. Piers Crispin: Hmmm. Terrific movie. Mrs. Raven: Who's talking about the movie? You can see why I like it. The dialogue between the characters is sharp and cruel at times especially between Mrs Raven and Dr Piers Crispin, and also between George and his wife's parents.All the characters here all play their part. The only one that weakens the show in my opinion is the baby that speak fluent English, etc, etc.However failing that. All the characters are a joy, and for me makes me want to watch every last part of the show.My favourite are Mrs. Raven and George "Thermoman" Sunday...They are so funny in different way.This gets as 10 out 10 for me - just because of Mrs.Raven alone
topcat1200 I'm sorry for the change in Thermoman. Loosing Ardal O'Hanlon has dealt a death blow to the show for me. James Dreyfus is too creepy too watch. I very much enjoyed the series up till the the change. I will keep an eye on this site & hope yet another change comes along & we get a new George Sunday. How did James Dreyfus even make the list as a possible replacement for O'Hanlon? A note to the producers of 'My Hero', PLEASE get rid of this new, gay type Thermoman. James Dreyfus seams to have brought way to much of his character with him from "The Thin Blue Line"(only other thing I've seen him in). Good luck to the rest of the cast in keeping the show afloat.
walfordqueen Despite being a tad amusing at times this show is also absolutely dire. It really doesn't suit being a BBC primetime comedy offering, it's more of a kids TV show and therefore should be in an ideal slot to reflect this. I have watched more than my fair share of episodes and whilst I find myself laughing at parts of the shows I also find myself cringing at others. All the "superhero" stuff is done very badly and some of the acting (if you can call it that) is appalling. I don't think the beeb should pick this up again if there's going to be another series as I just don't feel it's right for a channel that is renowned for it's excellent original comedy programming.
Dyonus Whether he's an idiot priest or a superhero from another planet that just doesn't get it, Ardal is hillarious.When I first saw this show, I thought it was kind of dumb and cheap, but it soon grew on me. The show is about a Super hero who comes from the planet Ultron. He lives on earth running an herbal medicine shop. He falls in love with the woman he saved, but because she thinks he's daft, he has to prove to her that he's Thermalman and eventually he moves in with her.In the second season they have a child who talks, but since they have to keep everything else a secret, the kid is a bit of a risk.It reminds me of a mix between The Adventures of Lois and Clark and Third Rock from the Sun.I give this show **** out of five.
