No more Heroes
Ardal quits sitcom role
Ardal O’Hanlon is to quit his role as superhero Thermoman in the BBC comedy My Hero.
The Irish stand-up will be replaced by Gimme Gimme Gimme star James Dreyfus in the next series of the sitcom, which will air in the spring.
O’Hanlon will be written out with a story that sees Thermoman lose his old body in a poker game.
Executive producer Marcus Mortimer told trade magazine Broadcast: ‘There are a lot more stories we want to tell with My Hero.
‘We want to move it on and change gear.’
Work will start on the sixth series of eight half-hour shows next month.
