Heroes: A Hit with the Brits

We already know Americans love Heroes. The show has been nominated for eight Emmy Awards and television critics here named is Program of the Year recently.

But our favorite sci-fi adventure is now also officially a hit in England.

The show drew an audience of 4.3 million on British channel, BBC Two, in its series debut this week. That's a lot viewers for that country; it was the second most-watched program of the week, only beaten by ITV1's Wire In The Blood.

The entire first season of Heroes previously aired on the UK's digital Sci-Fi channel earlier this year.
