Prime time...

Audience
Heroes is being aired at the 9pm watershed on BBC2, this is prime time for many adults and teenagers to watch TV. As it is being shown on a terrestrial channel, there are also more viewers.

However Heroes had previously been shown at 10pm, well after the watershed... Here there is the question raised of whether Heroes is suitable for children. The program often shows scenes of a sexual nature, and also gruesome scenes of blood and violence. Yet some parents are still allowing their children to watch it.
