just thought we needed a mention, for those not downloading for whatever reason

God bless BBC, no interruptions
UK 1, Yankees 0

Ha ha, yeah it is good being able to watch Heroes without any adverts

I do download the show, I have to admit, but I still rewatch them when they are aired on BBC2, have you guys been watching the Heroes Unmasked things as well? I didnt even realise they existed until the Sylar one was aired a couple of weeks ago, lol.

It's a shame that the BBC is about a year behind, mind.

Realised that they're only halfway through the first season, probably won't get Season 2 until at least next Spring/Summer

Agree, It sucks over here on episode 12. Thank god for this site

Well they pay for these shows with taxpayers money, maybe they should listen to the people and get it in good time. Unless there is a contractual agreement we don't know about.

Why cant we have it the same time as the US? It would make sense. or perhaps the BBC get a discount for being over 12 months behind!!

UK sucks.. and now petrol/gas is over £1 a litre!!!

Off my soap box!!

... perhaps explains how the show gets aired wih no ad breaks ...

I agree - God bless this site. I watch Heroes on Sci-Fi for Season 1, but just couldn't wait for the Season 2 premiere. Shame that the BBC haven't done what Sky One did with Season 3 of Lost and 24, where they were screened a few days after the US airing. Surely the BBC will lose thousands of Heroes fans who will already have watched it?

And hello to all UK Heroes fans!

Is season 2 going to be on scifi channel or have bbc got the rights to it, must say its good watchin it without adverts

BBC have got Season 2, and from what I've read all additional series, including Heroes: Origins. So no adverts for the UK! (just 10 months behind the rest of the world!)

Sci Fi no longer have it, probably just Season 1 repeats after the whole series has been screened on the BBC)

Yeah I'm really happy that we can watch it uninterrupted, my only problem is that the BBC can't actually seem to stick to a schedule, i was planing on recording all of season 1 to DVD but because the BBC keeps running late I have episodes with 10 minutes missing off the end Still never mind, I expect that I'll have another chance yet if they air all the episodes back to back again like they did a fortnight ago.

Hopefully they'll move straight on to Season 2 without a break (and start catching up on the US), though still I couldnt survive without the downloads

Won't happen.

The BBC are stubborn. Won't happen until at least after Christmas imo.

Will season 1 be finished by Christmas here though anyway? I was wondering if they had timed it for a Christmas series finale, and then maybe it could be season 2 after a brief pause for new year?!?

season 2 will start round bout the same time season 1 started, but next year. they need to cover for the seasonal viewing and heroes is a ratings winner

The dvd box set is released on 10 December, so it must finish by then.

Im liking it on BBC as its been almost a year since i watched it last, so its a good catch up for season 2!

uk all the way im on ep 2.2 now tho

yeh it is really annoying that the uk is so far behind the rest, I really dont understand why we are always behind on everything!

Same in belgium, but for some reason not with heroes

Good things don't come easy lucky we have the internet

I think that Heroes Season 2 may start right after x-mas or right after season 1. The ratings a very high on the show, and they would get more watching it or something

Yup, it looks like a Jan 08 start in the UK!

Jan 8th, two days after my dad's birthday, lol, I think that BBC has done good with Heroes, they have fun games, as well as a BTS Doc and Heroes in HD which is a first in UK TV since Sci-Fi doesn't have a HD channel.

I've been seeing adverts for DVD's being on sale in the UK in October. I think it's part of season 1. Hurrah! I'm gonna wait for the full thing like the US release though.

I'm in the UK too. You can get Heroes on the digital/cable Sci-Fi channel in the UK and it's actually not that far behind. But yes, on regular terrestrial TV, the UK is very far behind.
I found out about heroes through the sci-fi channel, but ever since then I've been keeping up with the latest episodes thanks to Mr Internet.
It's weird seeing Heroes start to become popular in the UK though. Like when they had all the various Heroes actors show up on morning TV, to plug the show, and talk about such old episodes.

Can't see Season 2 starting on the BBC until at least April, maybe even 12 months after the Season 1 start. But it is a ratings winner, so they might surprise us!!

ye bbc rules! i think sky on will try and steal it like they do with everything ells

Amsterdam here. We're behind too so that's why I have to see it online

I am from here but i do download

for all you people who dont download, the bbc has exclusive rights to show season 2, that how much the bbc love the show, good work fellas

uk rules

God bless BBC

Yeah, wish they would hurry up!!!

DP

The BBC have first refusial on all future Heroes series, so Sky only have a chance if the BBC reject! Also it might not be as long as a wait in the UK because the BBC are prepping Doctor Who Spin Off "Torchwood" for the Heroes slot with Series Two of Heroes starting about a week or 2 after torchwood finishes

even though i have watched season one on the internet i always watch the episodes again on BBC. Its so good to watch them without adverts aswell, shame about so far behind though. i really hope season 2 is shown on the BBC and that sky doesn't take over like it did with Lost very annoying if you don't have sky like me. woah im going to be watching bbc2 for weeks because i love torchwood aswell =]

Yep, that's my understanding. April it'll be for Series two and then if they get Series 3 they can show it a few weeks after the rest of the world later in the year.

U do know that the SCI-FI channel already showed the 1st season of hereos way before BBC did, they finished showing it months age.

It is very annoying when in the UK it's only on Episode 13/14 when in America its already started on Season 2.

By the way if you don't know guys, after Heroes Unmasked on BBC Two turn over to BBC Three (if you got digital TV) then you could watch the next episode.

I really glad BBC2 got Heroes, Sky One's been taken away so i cant watch Lost (you have no idea how annoyed i was at that).

I just rally hope that Sky One doesnt take Heroes, otherwise the interenet will be my last chance.

Although i bought the box set yesterday, Part 1 of series 1, i think ive got my friend into it though and my mum is beginning to like it as well yay, im just getting addicted to this show now

Hate to break it to you BUT the BBC are lining the doctor who spin off TORCHWOOD for the 9pm Wednesday Slot on BBC2 so we're not getting S2 until at least Late April

I like Dr Who, but don't care about torchwood. I would much rather have Heroes. Why do the BBC insist on playing American imports on BBC Two? They could show Heroes Season 2 on BBC one in a similar timeslot. Giving them ratings for both channels.

ive read somewhere that its gonna start the beggining of jan 08.

I download and watch it on bbc.

its annoying as i watch ugly betty and were only one episode behind on that

I wish they'd show season 2 sooner in the UK. I'd already finished season 1 before they started showing it on BBC 2.

i've seen all season on1 1-9 BBC2, 9-23 DVD AWSOME !!!!!

couldn't wait ,found you guys here just in time for season two to download
pity its one a week
but hell....worth the wait

I live in UK but I get so flipped off that we get everything later than Americans that I just thought f**k it im watchin it online.

it has got better tho. same with prison break etc. they'r finally realising that so many people are downloading it. if they actually spend the money on the rights sooner their ratings don't suffer quite as much.

Yeah but those two shows are likely to attract a similar audience so they wouldn't put them on the same time. Besides isn't torchwood normally shown on BBC3?

I guess when the BBC can't afford it, or justify paying loads for it in a year or more then sky might take it on.
