Mainstream UK audiences finally get the chance to see latest US smash Heroes when in premiers on BBC 2 at 9 pm Wednesday. It's a long old time since there was a big Cult US show on the Beeb, (since they lost 24 to Sky) so the times about right. In fact so confident are the BBC in their new acquisition that they've already got the first-look rights to series 2- poaching it from the Sci-Fi Channel. The good thing is that they seem determined to treat it right and are showing it in a high-profile and appropriate slot, and are giving it a big push. Fans of US TV might not have been too keen on the way BBC2 have treated such shows in the past (Buffy put in a 6pm slot, cut to ribbons because it's y'know..for kids) but hopefully they've learnt their lesson. And of course, cause it's on the BBC it's showing without ads. Personally it gives me the chance to finally see how it turns out- my DVD recorder broke with about 5 episodes on it, scuppering my chance to catch the whole run on Sci-fi. Anyway check it out, it started off pretty well (and by all account gets even better) and it's certainly worth a look-see!
