A heroic reality TV series

The latest Big Brother fills me with with as much as anticipation and hope as a Manchester City bid to win European qualification.

So it was good to find out about an alternative that has more merit and is more believable: Who wants to be a superhero?

The Sci Fi channel has outclassed Channel 4 - is that an achievement these days?- with a group of hopefuls battling it out to become a superhero.

Each must demonstrate their superpowers rather than ability to be foul mouthed and dim. It looks fun and more believable and entertaining than Channel 4's effort.
