House
Apr21Not my house this time, or house prices, or anything like that... it's a quiet day and I was struggling for something to say so I thought I'd give House a mention. It's a TV medical drama that seems to be taking the Americas by storm starring our old favourite Hugh Laurie as Doctor Gregory House, and we're quite looking forward to getting a look at it. Main reason for mentioning it though is that when I first read about this show (probably in the Sunday Times) it mentioned that the character seemed to be based partly on Sherlock Holmes... is this what the rumours about Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie appearing in a Sherlock Holmes TV series were based on? I hope not...
