George Sunday is Thermoman, from the planet Ultron, dashing from one catastrophe to another as he juggles two jobs: superhero and health-food shop owner. It is hard to know which causes him more problems – diverting meteorites or pretending he is just an ordinary guy.

SERIES 6 - BRAND NEW COMEDY -
When George pops back to Ultron for a game of poker, he loses more than the shirt off his back. He loses his back, as well ad the rest of his body, leaving nothing left but a tea bag (his soul). His replacement body looks nothing like his old one and his wife Janet finds herself living with a man she has never seen before.
While Janet comes to terms with her new look husband, their two super-intelligent, super gifted children have no difficulty recognising their super hero father. George has a new job too – in a medical practice?!

SERIES 5
There's a new addition to the Sunday family - baby Cassie. Like her big brother Ollie, she has inherited many alien characteristics. She can already talk and see into the future, though human mum Janet is relieved she isn't yet able to fly. She already has enough to do smoothing over all George's gaffes and trying to stop him committing new ones, let alone trying to convince her family and colleagues that their home life is normal.

SERIES 4
Even young Ollie has a better grasp of human behaviour than poor George. His human wife Janet doesn't know whether to laugh or cry when he fakes his own death to collect on the life assurance, or runs for mayor on a refreshingly honest ticket. Other problems besetting the Sunday household in this series are a space virus fatal to humans, Ollie suddenly becoming a 19-year-old girl, George meddling with the space-time continuum, George becoming a surrogate mother and a sadistic, avenging judge.

SERIES 3
It's a boy! Of course, little Ollie Sunday is no ordinary baby, being half-Ultronian. For George and Janet, adjusting to parenthood is hard enough, without having to cope with Northolt’s first flying, talking, fire-snuffing superbaby. With Janet's parents clamouring to see their first grandchild, how can they persuade Ollie to behave like a normal human baby? Meanwhile, Arnie embarks on an antagonistic but mutually satisfying sexual relationship with the acid-tongued health receptionist, Mrs Raven.
