OMG, Heroes was awsome! I watched it over my cousin (Sophie's) last night! My favourite charecters were that woman who had the boy and stripped for the camera, the son of the Indian professer and Sophie and I liked Hiro, the Japanese man who can bend time and space...he was class.

From Media Guardian:

: the BBC's Ł500,000 an episode gamble looks to have paid off.



The BBC2 launch of critically acclaimed US drama Heroes last night helped power the channel to what is believed to be its biggest peaktime ratings win over BBC1 since 1994.
BBC2's superhero series, which has already been broadcast on cable and satellite channel Sci Fi earlier this year, launched from 9pm with an impressive 4.3 million viewers and a 19% share.

The second episode ran immediately afterwards at 9.40pm, and that picked up an audience of 4 million viewers, according to unofficial overnights.

BBC2's new fantasy drama seems to have taken viewers away from Channel 4's Big Brother and BBC1's Crimewatch Solved 2007.

Between 9pm and 10pm, Big Brother scored 3.3 million viewers and Crimewatch pulled in 3 million.

This is believed to be the worst performance for any Crimewatch or Crimewatch Solved programme for at least four years.

Heroes was also not far behind the winner of the 9pm slot, ITV1's 90-minute drama Wire in the Blood, which averaged 4.8million viewers.

Just in case fans had not had enough of the superhero drama, at 10.20pm it was followed by a ten-minute behind-the-scenes show called Heroes Unmasked, which won 3.1 million viewers for BBC2.

Billed as "geek heaven" by TV critics, and one of the few hits of last autumn's new US TV season on NBC, Heroes was in danger of overheating from pre-premiere hype.

But the BBC's gamble on the show, which director general, Mark Thompson, has described as "wholesome" and reportedly cost the corporation Ł500,000 an episode, appears to have paid off.

However, it was given a big helping hand by a special hour-long edition of Top Gear, scheduled before Heroes last night in the BBC2 8pm hour.

Top Gear - Polar Special drew 4.5 million viewers and a 21% audience share. These are good figures for BBC2, although below Top Gear's stellar audiences of up to 8 million for the series broadcast earlier this year after presenter Richard Hammond's recovery from a life threatening high speed crash.

The BBC2 car show froze out National Lottery Jet Set on BBC1, which averaged 1.9 million viewers between 8pm and 8.30pm; and Vet Safari, which drew 1.8 million between 8.30pm and 9pm.

BBC2 beat BBC1 last night in peaktime, between 7pm and 10.30pm, by what is believed to be the biggest margin for 13 years.

Although BBC2 beat its bigger sibling a couple of times last year in peaktime when The Apprentice was on, plus on July 31 2005 when BBC2 had a combination of Coast and Top Gear, those were tiny wins of around less than half a share point.

Last night BBC2 beat BBC1 in peak by 2.4 share points, according to unofficial overnights.

The last time the gap was larger was June 27 1994. That day Wimbledon and a World Cup game between Germany and South Korea meant BBC2 beat BBC1 by 10.7 share points.

Meanwhile, another US import, Brothers and Sisters, fared less well on Channel 4 in the ratings than its compatriot in the 10pm hour.

The sixth episode of Brothers and Sisters last night averaged around 1 million viewers - down by 500,000 viewers on the series opener.

This explains Heroes day on Radio 1 and the total flogging of it everywhere. They mentioned it every 3 or 4 minutes all day.

I still think the men in charge on the BBC are morons, though I like the show. They have screwed up the schedule, spend money stupidly and have no clue what they are doing.

[Sarah.]

Love this show, still don't see why people say it's better than Lost when it isn't

[Foebane100]

I see it's on again on BBC2 yet again on Sunday at 22:55 for anyone who has missed it.

[BigSister]

I enjoyed the third episode although something is telling me that im going to enjoy it more as the series goes on. I still like Hiro ^_^

[BigSister]

Still enjoying Heroes (sorry for double posting) and liking Peter now as well and of course Hiro. Claires growing on me as well
