Hi People,
This could be seriously bad news for UK fans of "House MD" and Five. There is news that the miserable 's at ITVChav are looking at poaching the superbly acerbic and gritty medical drama show "House MD" from Five!
At the moment, the show (in its 3rd Season) is airing on Five to around 2.5 million viewers each week. ITV is said to be in talks with the programme's makers - Universal - in the USA, as they start a bidding war for one of the best and most popular drama shows, to secure it for national ITV transmission, from Season 4 onwards!
ITV have been quoted as saying they are: "upbeat and confident" in securing the show from Five, and if they do, we all know what's going to happen to our fav sardonic doc? Yes, shoddy scheduling, dropped episodes, lots and lots of adverts, and probably some regions not airing the show at all, or airing it at a stupid time!
This truly is awful news, and I sincerely hope that Five can keep the show, especially as they've treated it with so much love and respect, for the past 3 years!
