House TV Programme

Newest Review: ... dialogue is witty, sharp and totally unprofessional at times and this is what makes House so unique and intriguing. I actually gasp at some of the lines House comes out with and you'd be horrified if your real life doctor spoke to you this way! Some people criticise 'House' for being formulaic, but for me it's familiar structure is oddly comforting as you know exactly what you're getting. The basic premise of most episodes is a person with an unusual case is referred to House and his team, who give a few incorrect diagnoses before a lightbulb goes off in House's head at just the last moment and he steps in and saves the day. It does sound... more

House: A bad bedside manner has never been more pleasing! (408 words)

'House' centres on the life and work of the blunt yet brilliant Head of Diagnostics at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, Dr. Gregory House. The main character of this medical drama may appear to be an unattractive curmudgeon on paper but it is his totally un-PC, pessimistic outlook on life that makes this series so enthralling as you can't quite believe the things that House does and says and this is exactly why you can't quite look away. The other characters are all doctors at the same hospital and most make up House's diagnostic team. Dean of Medicine Lisa Cuddy and Head of Oncology James Wilson round up the rest of the cast and for me the acting is ...  Read the complete review

The story. House (the name of the show) is actually a man, Hugh Laurie in fact, and he is the star of the show. Based in a hospital, the programme is about a man who is by far one of the greatest medical minds currently living on the planet. He leads a team of very talented doctors in a department that focuses on theoretical medicines and treatments. When I say theory what I mean is they are given many cases of people with strange illnesses, that no other doctors can give answers for and then they break the symptons down and try to figure out what is causing the problems. Leading them to figure out a way to treat and eventually cure! House ...  Read the complete review

I have been aware of House for quite a while now but despite the plaudits it has received I have never really paid much attention to it, that is until recently. I have now become quite an avid fan of the series and I shall now detail why. The plot basically revolves a quite brilliant but enigmatic surgeon called Gregory House. He is brilliant in his field with a wide depth of knowledge but he never lets on too much about himself. What we do know about him is an extremely controversial outspoken character, with a dry sense of humour and seemingly a disdain for most people. However this is the side which he chooses people to see, he also does care for his ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on House
by Suki - written on 10/09/09

In my modest opinion this TV series is one of the best that has been broadcasted in the last year. At least you can learn something useful about medicine and human body.Anyway I really was missing that in India from which I come from, and now that I'm settled here in the UK I really appreciate the Sky1 subscription my house mates have to have a look at <a href="http://sky1.sky.com/show/house-5">Doctor House M.D.</a>.I really don't know how I could have lived all this time without watching it. As soon as I will get my first payroll, I think that I will invest some money buying the DVD of the past seasons. What do you think of that?

House - What a character! (264 words)

House is a great twist on the typical medical based television shows we are accustomed to seeing. House follows the trials and tribulations of the crippled, pill popping, sarcastic diagnosis doctor, Dr Gregory House. House is played by Hugh Laurie. He is known as being the best diagnosis doctor around but does this through usually immoral and bizarre methods. He is nothing without his team though, he bounces ideas off his team and works out the problem. The current series as of August 2009 is airing on Sky One at the moment. It is on at 9pm on a Sunday evening and there is currently a further episode being shown at 10pm. It's quite something seeing ...  Read the complete review
