Hero of the Hour is a single television crime drama, written and devised by Bill Gallagher, that was broadcast on ITV on 12 March 2000.[2] Hero of the Hour focuses on security guard Richie Liddle (Ross Kemp), who foils an armed robbery and becomes a national hero, but finds his new-found fame cannot appease his guilty conscience. Commissioned as part of a "Golden Handcuffs" deal for Kemp following his departure from EastEnders, Hero of the Hour pulled in 11.7 million viewers, becoming one of the channel's highest rated new dramas of the year.[3] Hero of the Hour was released on VHS on 19 June 2000, containing footage not broadcast on television; but has yet to be released on DVD.
