Monday Give Away: UK Pink Collection
Just when I think I’ve uncovered the last of the author copies…
I opened a box that I’d thought was a care package of books from a friend. It turned out to be another stack of UK Pink books, from the first Pink up through The Mischief of the Mistletoe.
There are just enough in there to make up one set of Pink I through Mistletoe.
So, for the chance to win a collection of six Pink books, here’s your question:
— What’s your favorite BBC or ITV show?
The winner will be announced on Thursday.
Sherlock, or the Bletchley Circle. Very upset that got canceled.
As Time Goes By.
I don’t have one, as I live in Washington without cable! But I’ve heard good things about many!
You want ONE favorite? Is it possible to have a single favorite? I guess I’ll say Call the Midwife… and Downton Abbey.
Emma
Am a mr knightly fan
As Time Goes By!
Dr. Who! Closely followed by Sherlock.
Easy! Doctor Who!
I know this one is an oldie, but I love “As Time goes by.” Starring Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer.
Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and The Crimson Field. I like all the Masterpiece Mystery shows. I miss Morse, but I’m hoping Endeavor comes back soon.
Definitely Doctor Who. I love the classic and the current. I mean David Tennant? <3
Sherlock and Dr. Who!!! Would so love this set!!
LOVE this contest!!! Doc Martin is pretty amazing.
Those covers are gorgeous!
And I’d have to go with Emma!
Sherlock for sure. But I love the “North and South” miniseries they did.
It’s almost impossible to choose between all of the ones I love, but Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Midsummer Murders, Lewis, and Grantchester are all up there. Also recently discovered the Great British Bake Off 🙂
Loved Grantchester and Poldark this year. Would love to add these books to my Pink collection.
Definitely Poirot. And definitely would love to win this wonderful collection.
As Time Goes By
I am really into Poldark right now… I mean the guy playing Poldark doesn’t hurt my eyes! I don’t know if that counts as BBC or ITV (I don’t know what ITV is?) But it is on Masterpiece Classic, so I say it counts!!!
Oh, I also really love Peaky Blinders! It is on the BBC in the UK, but Netflix this side of the pond!!
Call the Midwife! Thought provoking, funny, sad and such touching stories.
Doctor WHo. Sherlock, Lewis
I am going with a miniseries on this one: BBC’s North and South.
Doctor Who. I watched it off and on before Peter Capaldi, but I really, really like him, and now it’s a favorite.
All of the BBC 90’s miniseries: P&P, Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Persuasion, Vanity Fair, etc. etc. etc.
DOCTOR WHO. DOCTOR WHO. DOCTOR WHO. Sherlock. Orphan Black (Canadian, but shown on BBC America).
As Time Goes By!
Coronation Street
There are many British shows I love but Corrie is closest to my heart. I am a Canadian but born in England, and I have watched Corrie since I was a little girl. First with my Mum, them my Mother in Law, and now even my son watches often enough to know the general story line!
As a Canadian many of our books are from the British publishers so would love this set!
I’ve never watched BBC or ITV, but I saw an episode of “Lewis” (the Inspector Morse spinoff) once, because an actor I liked was a guest star. I love the detective show format, and would watch again…If I knew if I had ITV or not…
And I finally watched the 1995 P&P miniseries when I was retreading the book…fabulous!
Loved the new “Up Stairs Down Stairs” (only lasted one season) and of course, Downtown Abbey. If it counts, Lucy Worlsey has some great shows on BBC4 etc
If I have to chose just one then it’s a comedy. I love watching the BBC reruns of “Keeping up Appearances”…but really there are so many great shows. I loved the dramas and period pieces…but the comedies are the best 🙂
Gavin & Stacey!
Dr. Who, Sherlock, Peaky Blinders, and Downton Abbey for sure!!! (Btw, I loved North and South!!)
Doctor who! And Sherlock and broadchurch. Sometimes I think I should live there instead of the states. London is one of my favorite places.
Too hard to choose! But Sherlock and Call the Midwife rank high up there!
I like call of Midwife.
No such thing as ‘a favorite bbc show’. Too many to choose…
Inspector George Gently, Black Books, Sherlock, Monroe, Absolutely Fabulous, The Vicar of Dibley, Getting On, Roger & Val, Dr. Who, Young Ones, Rev. And SO MANY MORE! I’m a BBC addict!
Sherlock Holmes with Benedict Cumberbatch. He is terrific!
Poldark and Call the Midwife.
Sherlock! Also in the middle of watching and enjoying the adaptation of “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. If they did the Pink books, each season could be 3-4 episodes long and we could watch it for 12 years!!
Coupling!
Love Poldark!
don’t watch the BBC
Sherlock or Endeavor would be my two choices. Then there is Downton Abbey, Vicar of Dibley, Keeping up Appearances… so many choices. What fantastic covers on the UK collection.
How can I pick just one???? I love so many. I guess I will have to pick Doctor Who.
Downton Abbey for sure!
The North and South miniseries for sure!!
Vicious! Ian McKellen and Derek Jacobi as cranky old gay men. Really, what more do you want?
Call the Midwife! My favorite!
Soooooo hard! But if I get to choose only one it is “Love In a Cold Climate.” The one from the early 80s where Judi Dench was the mom and Michael Williams was Davey. The best, funniest, most entertaining Masterpiece Theater ever! It got me, then my 3 daughters, hooked on Nancy Mitford and her sisters.
Doctor Who and Unforgotten
Sherlock!
So hard to choose!! But am anxiously awaiting Poldark’s second season so will have to go with that. Love Ross and Demelza’s relationship.
The Vicar of Dibley! Dawn French is amazing!
Picking one is hard! Doctor Who because I’ve watched it the longest.
Too many to chose from, but THAT Pride and Prejudice mini series, and the classic Joan Hickson Miss Marples I think. And Red Dwarf. And Great British Bake-Off. And Strictly Come Dancing.
But the one I’ve watched the most are those Joan Hickson Miss Marples. Even if one of the victims is called Verity!
Doctor Who!
My daughter and I both love North and South with Richard Armitage. Also Northanger Abbey and, of course, Downton Abbey. LOVE the UK covers.
Downton Abbey
Poldark
Call The Midwife
Wolf Hall
broad church
When I’m feeling silly: Top Gear
When I’m feeling smart: Sherlock
When I’m feeling ridiculous: ‘Allo ‘Allo
When I’m feeling romantic: Pride and Prejudice
and when I’m feeling sad: I read “Secret History of the Pink Carnation” and I feel better!
Top gear, but only for the silly competitions, less about the car stuff. I love Hammond, Captain Slow, and crazy Clarkson.
Doctor Who!!!
My sons and I love Doctor Who. My personal favorite though, is Downton Abbey.
1?!?!
As Time Goes By
Keeping up Appearances
Vicar of Dibley
Poldark
Great British Bake off
It’s hard to pick just one! I’ll go with my most recent fav – Great British Bake Off.
My favorite at present is The Musketeers.
Doc Martin and Poldark!
I recently watched The Fall, but my overall favorite is Coupling. I still find it hilarious. I scratched my eye with a paper bag when I walked by Steven Moffat on the floor of SDCC and geeked out this past July.
I have to pick just one — dang it! I think it’s a three way tie between Black Books, Doctor Who and MI-5/Spooks. I would have chosen North and South, but that was a limited series.
Blimey, how can I do that, there are so many of them? My favourites of the ones that have been on TV this year(I would be here all night if I got into past favourites) are:
New Tricks
Death In Paradise
Poldark
Call The Midwife
Poirot
Marple
Death Comes To Pemberley
Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond
Sherlock
That is just the dramas. There have been far too many good historical documentaries to list.
Call the Midwife! I really should read the book as well.
Can’t choose just one!
Poldark
Muskteers
Red Dwarf
Coronation Street
Downton Abbey
Call the Midwife
Mr. Selfridge
Fleming
thank goodness for BBC America, Youtube, and PBS or I’d never be able to stay up to date!
All Creatures Great and Small
‘Allo ‘Allo
Sherlock
Blackadder!!
Downton Abbey and As Time Goes By. Though right now I’m grateful for anything not set in or around WWII, and I suspect Downton Abbey is getting close to that.
I have a new favorite every couple of years because I love the BBC! But, I will always particularly cherish Blackadder 🙂 The set looks lovely.
Sherlock!! and Dr. Who 🙂
Doctor Who and Downton. I’m not sure which is #1, which says something very strange about my personality!
Let’s see. . . Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Broadchurch, Poldark. Those are all can’t miss shows.
The Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series from Granada. Especially the ones with Edward Hardwicke.<3
Call the Midwife…but Downton comes in a close second
Definitely Downton Abbey! Love that show.
Downtown abbey or sherlock
Primeval
Downton Abbey
As Time Goes By
This is a tough one! Call the Midwife is lovely, and I just started watching The Last Kingdom (and love it too!). 🙂
Just one?!? Doctor Who…no, wait, As Time Goes By…no, Black Books…, um, just about ALL of them!
I’m just a bit of an Anglophile and find a lot of their TV programming to be much more entertaining than ours.
Doctor Who! Hands down, no contest.
Downtown Abbey! <3
Poldark, so enjoyed the books too.
