I've never watched House.
Is it worth starting from the beginning? I don't really have the patience to sit through hour long episodes unless it's really, really good.

This. Never seen an episode and I'm not particularly tempted from what I've heard.

"Bad tempered, grumpy Doctor who looks like Hugh Laurie gets annoyed and pisses people off in every episode but that's OK because he gets the job done, saves lives, and everyone realises he's an OK guy really" doesn't really get my juices flowing.

Hugh Laurie gets my juices flowing.

It really is a Marmite program
I know of many people who hate it with a passion, and complain about how predictable it is.

I love it, his put downs and one liners are some of the funniest to hit TV in years, absolutely brilliant.

It's worth going from the start though, definitely.

I'm with all of the above
people say "oh it's about the developing relationships between characters..." I don't feel I need to watch that, particularly as I get annoyed with Hugh Laurie's accent just from brief bits of the adverts.
