My Hero
Overview
My Hero is a British sitcom crafted by Paul Mendelson, airing from February 2000 to September 2006 across six seasons. The show centers on the clueless superhero Thermoman, originally played by Ardal O'Hanlon and later by James Dreyfus in its final installment. John Stroud frequently directed the series, which became a staple of British humor. In the UK, viewers can catch the show on the digital channel Gold, though its last season remains absent. It made its way to American audiences on PBS and BBC America, while Australian fans enjoyed earlier seasons on UKTV.
