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.
Thermoman reveals his double identity to Janet's parents, in an attempt to gain their favour, but her mother can't keep a secret.
A curvaceous Ultronian appears, claiming to be George's fiancee. Xil learns to speak English when speaking to Tyler, she realises that she can learn from him. She does so and picks up his (local) accent. Meanwhile, Mrs Raven asks for a better deal for the job she does, Piers decides to let her go instead.
Piers get a new Mercedes. George works hard to buy Janet a car and Arnie gets his powers back.
An old friend of Thermoman's takes over Piers' body and tries to put Thermoman out of the superhero business.
Our heroic couple find out that they're pregnant in this episode. As part of the pregnancy George endows Joyce with Ultronian powers, which she the uses to go about saving the day. The sub plot is Mrs. Raven convincing Piers that he is going to be on ""This is Your Life"", and uses this to milk all sorts of 'goodies' out of smarmy Dr Piers.
Shortly after they wed, janet goes into labor. The baby has super powers and can talk, which is normal for Thermian babies.
