Gregory House kills Sherlock Holmes
In early 2004, it was announced that Conan Doyle aficionado Stephen Fry was to play Sherlock Holmes in a TV drama for ITV, with his old sparring partner Hugh Laurie cast as Watson.
Ironically, it was the unexpected success of House – in which Laurie played the Holmes-inspired title character – that scuppered the project. Perhaps it’s for the best – we might never have had BBC One’s Sherlock if ITV was already airing its own Holmes hit.

Danke Violett, schönes Interview.

Dr. House trifft Loki: Tom Hiddleston und Hugh Laurie in Spionage-Serie „The Night Manager“ – nach John le Carré

In „The Night Manager“ werden Hugh Laurie („Dr. House“) und Tom Hiddleston („Thor“) die Hauptfiguren verkörpern. Für die Spionage-Serie wird der gleichnamige Roman von John le Carré adaptiert.

*Hibbel!* Ich liebe Tom Hiddleston! Werd mir das auf jeden Fall anschauen.
