HE is a genius doctor but he makes life miserable for his team of junior doctors, pushing them to a point of harassment yet they respect his knowledge. House every Thursday at 11 P.M. on AXN revolves around Dr Gregory House, a brutal and conceited specialist, who can solve any problem with his unorthodox approach to medicine.
This highly entertaining series at times borders on dark comedy given the doctor’s crazy ways and bizarre approach to medicine. It has already earned little-known British actor Hugh Laurie a cult following playing a doctor with a limp who is addicted to painkillers and has no control over his viperfish tongue that is tinged with sardonic humour. One of the most highly acclaimed TV series, Dr House has continued to garner both public and critical acclaim and in its fifth season averaged an amazing 3.5 million viewers in America. Terror tales Does anyone know that
9/11 could have happened seven years earlier though not in New York
but in Paris. When terrorist hijacked an Air France plane in Algiers
in 1994 they had a diabolical plan in mind -- to use it as a missile
and crash into one of the important landmarks of Paris --perhaps the
Eiffel Tower. Though the plan was foiled by French commandos, who
killed all the hijackers and rescued the passengers, the age of
diabolic terrorism was truly upon the world. Age of Terror at
10.40 P.M. on Saturdays on BBC World unfolds the horror of desperados
out to shatter world peace. Anchored by Peter Taylor, the series
brings out the clinical precision with which these fanatics create
mayhem in the world. It focuses on terror attacks that changed the
world. Starting with the 1976 Entebbe hijacking, the series lists all
major strikes and finally moves onto the emergence of Al Qaeda, which
culminated in the September 11, 2001 attack. The bone-numbing series
is interspersed with rare archival footage and interviews with
survivors and experts. — NF
