Earth's very own superhero, Thermoman, aka George, saves the life of Nurse Janet Dawkins, and falls in love with her.
I'll be honest, this show did pass me by during its original run, so I'm watching this completely fresh as it were. So my first impressions of this pilot episode, it's a sweet and amusing start.
I'm finding it hard to see past the character of Dougal here, even in the opening scenes, I genuinely thought it was a Father Ted crossover. I'm sure I'll be won over in an episode or two.
A few amusing moments, I liked the surgery secretary, the scene in the restaurant was funny as well.
Dr. Piers Crispin was an interesting character, I liked the backstory they gave him, and I'd forgotten just how handsome Dennis was back in the day.
Solid, 6/10.
