My Hero is a British television sitcom, created by Paul Mendelson, and produced by Big Bear Films for BBC One.[1][2] The series, set in Northolt, west London, stars Ardal O'Hanlon as George Sunday, also known as "Thermoman", a dim-witted Ultronian superhero, and Emily Joyce as his human wife, Janet.
It initially gained consistent viewing figures for the BBC until the final series when O'Hanlon departed the role and ratings began to rapidly decline following the appointment of replacement James Dreyfus,[3] ultimately leading to the series' cancellation.
During the course of the programme, 51 episodes of My Hero aired over six series, between 4 February 2000 and 10 September 2006.
