Hi, America? It’s the UK here. Think 18 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy is quite something? Well, check out Casualty, now running for a whopping 35 years and still going strong in the UK.

British actor Hugh Laurie stars as Gregory House, a brilliantly intelligent doctor, and also a rude, caustic, unpleasant drug addict.
