But the new supercomputer S.E.T.H. develops a mind of it's own and kidnaps Luc's daughter in a plan in which he hopes to destroy Luc...Double Impact - Double Van Damme. Twins separated in infancy when their parents were killed in Hong Kong reunite 25 years later to find the thugs who destroyed their family. Jean-Claude has a real stretch trying to be two people at once but studio blurb assures us we'll see 'the light, charming side of his personality as we haven't seen it before'! Double Team - Jack Quinn has had enough. He's the nation's top counter terrorist and he wants out.
Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanour. While his behaviour can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives. House's roster of medical cases comprises the inexplicable ones other doctors can't solve, and he has assembled an elite team of young medical experts to help him in his effort to solve these diagnostic mysteries. House will do whatever it takes in the race against the clock to solve the case before it takes a life, from sending one of his team to break into a patient's home in search of clues, to attempting a controversial, high-stakes, trial-and-error form of treatment to see how a patient responds. House's methods may be suspect, but his results are not. Includes all 24 episodes.
