If you're in the UK and you're an afficionado of the only palatable medical drama, then you'll be as pleased as I was to hear that there's a new series of House starting this week on channel five.

If you're not in the UK and you're not a devotee of House then, well, why?

For your linkage pleasure in anticipation, I proffer unusual footage of Hugh Laurie getting beaten up by Stephen Fry and the delightfully "so not the point" medical reviews of individual episodes. You should be able to avoid spoilers in the latter by sticking to past series entries only.
