George Clooney has lost out to Hugh Laurie in a poll of favourite and most-fancied TV docs.

According to the Press Association, Clooney's character Dr Doug Ross came out fourth in a Top 10 of the most fancied on-screen medics.

Clooney delighted 'ER' fans with a welcome return to the hospital drama’s final series of the show, which shot him to global fame.

Clooney lost out to Dr Gregory House, played by Hugh Laurie, who came third. He originally shot to fame playing bumbling King George in 'Blackadder'.

First place went to Matthew Fox's character Dr Jack Shepherd in RTÉ’s hit series ‘Lost’.
