My Hero(2000)

My Hero is a British sitcom that aired on the BBC from 2000 to 2006 across six series. The show follows Thermoman, a well-meaning but hopelessly dim-witted superhero trying to save the world despite his complete lack of competence. Ardal O'Hanlon plays the bumbling hero for the first five series, with James Dreyfus taking over in the final season. Created by Paul Mendelson and regularly directed by John Stroud, My Hero became a cult favourite, blending absurdist humour with affectionate mockery of superhero tropes. The series found audiences beyond the UK, screening on PBS in America and UKTV in Australia, making it a beloved export of British comedy during the early 2000s.
