Review of BBC2 airing Heroes.
Heroes, the top-rating new series for the coveted 18 to 49 year old age group in America this season, is to be screened on BBC Two next year.
This epic drama, chronicling the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary powers, has been licensed by the BBC from NBC Universal International Television Distribution.
As the number one new show of the season and one of the highest-rated programmes on US network television, Heroes currently pulls in 14.3 million viewers, with a 6.2 rating/15 share among Adults 18-49.
It has also been a critical success, with The Los Angeles Times describing it as "a cleverly naturalistic approach to a superhero story" (17.09.06) and the Associated Press saying: "Something fresh and skillfully executed, Heroes is like nothing else on TV" (22.09.06).
Sue Deeks, BBC Television's Head of Series, Programme Acquisition, secured the free terrestrial television rights to Heroes in the UK for the BBC.
She says: "Heroes is a fresh and imaginative take on the superhero theme and features amazing special effects – BBC Two is the perfect home for such an intriguing, intelligent and irresistible drama.
