It’s nearly Christmas and here at Beauty and Lace we would love to share the festive cheer. Thanks to Acorn Media we will be selecting one lucky reader to win a box set of the COMPLETE George Gently collection, series 1-8; which includes the shocking series finale.
George Gently is a long running British crime drama that has kept fans entertained for years, now it is all here in one place. This 16 disc collection includes every episode from Series 1 to the final Series 8.
The series is set in England in the 1960s-1970s and it is a time of great change in the world. Chief Inspector George Gently, played by Martin Shaw, is one of detective fiction’s unsung heroes. His passionate investigations reveal the dark underbelly of society.
Chief Inspector George Gently is a policeman with a strong sense of justice. His ambitious and undisciplined sidekick is Sergeant John Bacchus, played by Lee Ingleby, who is overawed as well as thrilled to be working for the legendary detective.

My mum is a really big fan of English dramas. And since Dad died, having served in the NSW Police Force for 37 years, she yearns for police dramas. I think it makes her feel closer to Dad even though he’s no longer with us.
I would share with my hubby, we are both George Gently fans and John Bacchus is also a great character we have been watching this show for years but have missed some episodes
My darling partner who like me has an immense love of British Crime shows and Chief Inspector George Gently is right up with the best
Ah, English detectives, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways…. Sherlock, Barnaby, Morse, Frost, Banks, Wexford, Vera and of course George Gently. My hubby has no choice but to settle in and join me in some old school crime indulgence!
This one definitely goes to the hubby. We love George Gently – and we remember Martin Shaw in “The Professionals” back in the 1970s. He was Bodie or Doyle – we can never remember! The final episode was gut-wrenching and would love to go back to the beginning to see all the fashion and the cars and life without mobile phones!
My mum she absolutely loves the show, think she might have a crust on George, i know she would absolutely love this for xmas.
What a great way to spend some family time together. I’d watch it with hubby and miss 13. I was born in the 60’s and so this would be a fun way to see the fashion and cars that were around then.
I would share this with my wonderful cousin Maurissa. She absolutely loves this show, and after a lousy 18 months during which both her parents (my aunt and uncle) died suddenly,, one friend was killed in a road traffic accident and 3 friends died of cancer I think she deserves to have something nice happen. Thank you for the opportunity.
My husband – we don’t find many TV shows that we both enjoy, but this sounds like it might be one. A good crime drama for me, and the British sensibility – with less overt violence than some dramas – for my husband. The social history aspects would interest us both.
And the most important thing: with eight seasons, that’s a lot of snuggling on the couch when the kids are in bed!
Sorry no sharing going to ve happening here-just blissful binge watching of George Gently
I would just love this set of George Gently to share with my husband who also enjoys this series. We have seen a few of the programs from this series but not all. We enjoy many of the british dramas as I was brought up in England and my husband has visited there so we can relate to many of the settings in these programs. We especially enjoy Martin Shaw – he is a fantastic actor!! There are just not enough of programs like this anymore.
My mother would love this. She loves a good English drama.
Beauty goes Gently? All the books have fun titles playing with the Gently name and the TV dramas are equally fun and stylish, and so I would share it with my ever fun loving and stylish Mum.
My husband is an avid fan of this series, having the set would delight him
My Mum is a fan, but Martin Shaw was my first crush when I saw him in The Professionals (how did he walk/run is such tight jeans, lol) and those curls, swoon. I’ve been a fan ever since and be brings George Gently to life with skill and flair. I’d be super happy just to sit back and enjoy George Gently by myself, but my mum loves him too and it’s a great way for us to bond and spend time together. Thanks.
I’d share the gift of George with my nana, she’d love to binge watch this with me over the Christmas break with some tea cake and coffee!
My father would enjoy this tv series, this is his type of movie watching!
My brother is a child of the 60’s and 70’s, The George Gently Collection would be a nostalgic trip to the past, albeit a murderous one. It is a superb series.
would love a copy of George Gently it reminds me so much of home as some of the scenes were taken from where i grew up it was strange to see something have not change in over 50 yrs love British drama
Hubby and I would love this. We’ve watched a few episodes on tv when we’ve been able. (Don’t have Foxtel or Netflix) and would love to watch the episodes from the beginning to the end. Great for the Christmas holidays. Thanks for the chance.
Apart from the fact I like Martin Shaw who I think is a very versatile actor I would share with my Husband who is a George Gently fan & the accents bring back fond memories of where my Husband spent many years with his family would make a very special surprise gift for him Fingers crossed
My husband enjoys the plot; I just think he’s hot! For some, it’s George Clooney that makes the heart flutter, but for me it’s George Gently……. such lovely eye candy!
My Friend Ann because we love to watch dvds together all day
I’d share the adventures with my sister . Our intrigue for mystery and suspense would keep us entertained for hours ..
I would share this with my sister because she loves these shows.
My 80 year old dad – he loves the English dramas – the accents, the scenery, the twisted plots
I can think of nothing better than being able to watch this series from beginning to end. I have seen a few episodes and I would really enjoy being able to continue from one episode to the next, not having to wait until next week. It might result in some late nights though – but hey who cares? He is gorgeous!!!
My Mother-in-law loves English Murder Mystery shows, but I don’t think she’s seen George Gently yet. It would be the perfect Christmas present for her.
I’d like to share George with my Mum who hasn’t had the chance to watch him yet but loves a good British drama which some sexy men in it.
me myself and i as i love crime drama especially English drama which unfortunately no one in my family appreciates hence don’t get a chance to watch on free to air or Foxtel as everyone wants to watch something else
I would share this series with my Mum. She’s a big fan of English police dramas which I gently mock her for (don’t tell her this, but I don’t mind them either) and a surprise gift of the box set would really make her Christmas.
My husband Harry jnr as he just adores anything that reminds him of Britain. This crime show is up with the very best of English drama and we would be stoked to win this amazing series.
My Grandparents. My Nanna is the greatest at guessing whodunit in any British crime show, and she loves them all. George Gently is one of her favourites and this would make her Christmas!
Wonderful show with a wonderful cast. I’ve missed a few episodes over the years and would love to win so we (sister and I) could relive all the excitement and intrigue this show has.
Oh the 60s and the 70s were great years to grow up in. I’d have to share George Gently with hubby as we are always watching all those crime show series on Netflix and the British do drama much better than anywhere else.
Mum’s sweeter than chocolate with a ‘Bounty’ of interest in criminology.
‘Time Out’ together would be a ‘Picnic’ – George Gently generates no ‘Snickers’ !
I would share this set with my husband. He I still a huge fan of British police dramas and I know he would really enjoy this one.
Id Share George Gentle with my Bestie Janet as she loves this type of show and as she moved here as a child from England its sort of like home.
My mother absolutely loves George Gently. Being English, the locations of the filming bring back memories for her plus the quality of the acting and show.please her….which is something not many programs do these days! Her short term memory is disappearing, so having visual triggers for her long term memories is pleases her and gets her talking about things she may not have told the family.
I’d share these with Mum, she’s loves Pommy shows, she’s just had her 81yo eyes fixed so she feels like a spring chicken again.
There is no one like my Mum who loves to watch justice handed down to those criminal masterminds. She’s had two kids she practiced sentencing and we actually have blessed her for that strict upbringing
thanks Mum!.
I would share the gift of George Gently with my friend, Beryl as she enjoys similar types of television to me.
The few episodes I have seen have been excellent. I would share with my husband it is one of the few programs we both enjoy.
Id share this with my mum, she loves to binge watch her shows and this would almost fill the whole xms break!
I would share the George Gently series with my daughter and sister who are just as passionate as me with the series…..
My fiancé we love watching TV shows together
I would share this with my Son, after i have watched all the Series, love watching George Gently, it keeps me entertained , i don’t go out much ( due To Financial Difficulties ) i really enjoy watching these type of series.
Whoa, thanks Beauty & Lace. A parcel just turned up at our door and had no idea what it was until I opened it. Hubby and I are certainly going to be busy watching 37 hours of drama. It does look interesting.
🙂
I did email you about this… did you get it?
Enjoy!
No, I didn’t get the email but hope to sit down today as so hot here and binge on watching the show 🙂
