Yes, it's mainstream TV and yes, Hugh Laurie now gets paid more for two episodes than a front line public sector worker will make in a lifetime, but as mainstream TV goes, House M.D. is still just about holding its own, despite its reliance on a largely unvarying structural formula.

In sixth season, Dr. Gregory House (Laurie) finds himself in an uncomfortable position – away from the examination room. As he works to regain his license and his life, his co-workers deal with staff shakeups, moral dilemmas and their own tricky relationships with House. Featuring an outstanding supporting cast that includes Omar Epps (who, lest we forget, co-starred in Takeshi Kitano's Brother), Olivia Wilde, Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer, Peter Jacobson, Jennifer Morrison, and Robert Sean Leonard, this collection includes all 21 season six episodes complete with a sprinkling of bonus features.

House M.D. – Series 6 will be released on UK DVD (£34.99) and Blu-ray (£44.99) by Universal Playback with the following extras:
