of House: part one House: it's been around for eight years, and
while no one ever speaks about it in the same terms as the
'worthier' US output, there are at least two of us who would
rank it among our favourite shows of all time. With the series
finale about to hit Sky 1 on Thursday, we thought we might as
well have a bit of a chat about it. Ed: How long did it take
before you stopped thinking: "Shit, that's Hugh Laurie.
Soupytwist"?  Matt: Y'know, it took me a long time to
disassociate House from Hugh Laurie Of Old. I started watching
the show from the beginning just after the third series had
started to air so was already aware of House being an 'exciting
new character' but I've grown up watching Blackadder, Jeeves &
Wooster, A Bit Of Fry & Laurie, etc so it took me a good 20 or
so episodes before I stopped thinking "Wow, Hugh Laurie's yank
accent is really good" and just accepted the character for who
he is.  I still can't connect the two now
