I have come across this story and just wanted to know if anyone knew it was true.

Story-
'As you know, Heroes Season 3 (Villains) is beginning on September 22nd on NBC in the USA. Well, it's just been confirmed by the BBC that season 3 of Heroes will begin on BBC 2 and BBC HD on September 25th, with just a 3 day gap between the episode airing stateside. This is obviously a slight improvement on the current 6 month broadcast gap that happened to seasons 1 and 2 and may also discourage illegal downloading of the episodes. Heroes is just closing the season 2 story-arc on BBC 2 and BBC HD and season 3 looks to be considerable longer than the mini 11 week stint of season 2, of course caused by the US Writers' Strike. Expect season 3 to comprise 24 episodes all 40 minutes in length (with 2 hour premieres and finales).'

I really want to know if this is true, i cant wait for it to start.

Im going to take a guess and say: "not soon?"

A month too long,.. me thinks. Have to say I'm excited as I've got a few ideas which I hope will come to fruition. More likely though I'll end up with egg on my face.

I read in the Radio Times a few weeks ago that is it meant to starts a few days after America so it will be true

Yeah, I'm thinking it's only 3 days after, now, which would mean it's on a Thursday. I don't know what they're going to do about the BBC3 next week's episode thing, though. Probably show only the first episode and show the second next week instead of putting them together for the premiere.

Maybe BBC3 will do Unmasked,... either that or nothing.

i dont think it starts on thursday, i just got this weeks tv guide and its not on

Yeah, it's now confirmed to be starting Wednesday October 1st.
