The writers need to stop fixating on their characters’ gimmicky personality traits (Ben is scared of cops - wah-ho, the comedy just writes itself!) and get back to telling stories.

Breathing a sigh of relief this morning to learn that House [MD] has called it quits.

Which hopefully involves Stephen Fry.
