I thought it was cool. Hugh Laurie is a well known biking nut in England, so it's good to see him influencing the character. If it had been the American scriptwriters he'd have been on some vast hog!

For a great description of riding a bike read Mr Laurie's book "The Gun Seller". It's also a really good book!

Apparently they were going to make it into a film, and then September 11th happened and Hollywood shat its pants at the thought of any film that featured terrorists. Poofters.

Yep, saw him riding except you couldn't tell it was him of course.
BUT, we all know what a great stress reliever riding through the countryside on a motor bike is. :)

Made me want to go outside and jump on my bike! It's a funny thing tho...I live on strong pain killers for my two back injuries but the only real pain relief is when I am on my bike....pity ACC won't pay for a new one!

A good night on tele tho with Boston Legal straight after...

He had the new "handskin" gloves - you just peel 'em off and throw them away after an accident... time for a new set!

I liked the aprilia which sounded like a four cylinder, other than that it was a decent programme. Not as good as Boston Legal though

Cool programme, bit of a change from things like ER. Even my husband sat up and took notice when he saw the bike shop!

No bikes in that though. Didn't they have bikes in that other Shatner classic "T.J.Hooker"?

Regards the no gloves and sneakers, I think you gotta take it in context of the story and character. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Funny, I'm watching the DVD of BlackAdder 3 at the mo' and it's hard to equate the effette, brainless character of the prince with the charater of house... still I suppose that's acting innit?

he could fall off naked with the amount of pain killers he takes and he wouldn't feel a thing lol
