Xmas Giveaway, Day 5: Item 9

-


Item 9 in the Christmas Giveaway is a 2-disc Region 2 DVD set of Jane Eyre (2006), courtesy of the Daily Mail, which as a newspaper isn't worth the paper it's printed on, but comes in handy here. I already have the DVD of this production, so don't need it. Got it when I bought a selection of these newspaper giveaway DVDs on eBay and have been hoarding them ever since. :)

Please note that these two discs are DVD Region 2 (Europe) and will not play on Region 1 (NTSC, American) DVD players unless the DVD player in question is region free.

Two discs in cardboard covers, containing the four episodes of the glorious 2006 adaptation of Jane Eyre, starring Ruth Wilson as Jane and Toby Stephens as Rochester. If the cover didn't give that one away already. ;) I reviewed it pretty favourably in September 2011. I'm not sure if it contains any extras, but I can double-check.

Giveaway closes at some point during 27 December 2011. Winner will be chosen at random and contacted and with a bit of luck, has responded with some form of contact details so I can send it when the post office opens again on the 28th.

Remember, I need to be able to contact you and get your postal address if you win, so if you're not on Facebook, Etsy, Twitter or any other way of getting in touch, it will be hard to let you know you've won, and so on, so in order to be in with a chance of winning, add some kind of contact details and answer the following qualifying questions: 1: Which is your favourite Jane Eyre adaptation and why? 2: If you're outside Europe (DVD Region 2), can your DVD player actually play Region 2 (PAL) DVDs?

This giveaway is open worldwide, but if you're outside Europe, please ensure your DVD is multi-regional or region free and can definitely play Region 2/PAL DVDs before you enter the giveaway.

Good luck! Check back in a few hours for today's book giveaway. :)

    I love this adaptation! Actually it's my favourite, but I still haven't seen the one with Michael Fassbender and Mia Wasikowska. I've heard rather different opinions. :)

    Oh and I live in Europe, so yay! :)

    Happy Holidays!

    my favourite is the one with Timothy Dalton as Mr.Rochester and I guess that in itself explains why it is my fav =)
    yep, I'm totally in Europe!

    I never really understood what people see in Tim Dalton, and then I saw him as Rochester. Problem is, now when I see him in anything else, I just think "ohh, Mr. Rochester! *happysigh*" ;)

    Thank you, and happy holidays to you too! :) I have to admit that I had different opinions watching the new one, so I saw it twice. Still wasn't sure about it. But it does make me wonder when it's out on DVD here. *checks* Oh there we go, 12 March 2012.

    I've been bitten by the Toby bug. So 2006 it is. :D

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
