2000 - 2006
My Hero follows George Sunday, who appears to be an idiotic man but is actually Thermoman, a superhero from the planet Ultron who protects Earth and humanity. After falling in love with nurse Janet Dawkins while saving her life, George struggles to maintain his human disguise while dealing with earthly customs he doesn't understand. His unfamiliarity with human behavior often leads to misunderstandings, making him appear foolish to those who don't know his true identity. Starring Ardal O'Hanlon (and later James Dreyfus), the BBC sitcom combines superhero elements with domestic comedy as George and Janet marry and have children who inherit superpowers.
