Banacek season 1 DVD competition

*** THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED ***

To celebrate the release of cult seventies show Banacek, starring George Peppard, released in the UK for the very first time, we've got 3 copies of Season 1 to be won courtesy of Fabulous Films. We love it when a competition comes together... Closing date: 27th February 2014.

About Banacek season 1:

Banacek: The Complete Season One is to be released on DVD for the first time in the UK starring George Peppard (Breakfast at Tiffany’s) as proud Polish-American detective Thomas Banacek. Banacek first aired on the NBC network from 1972 to 1974. The show was well received by critics and the Polish American Congress gave the series an award for portraying Polish Americans in a good manner.

It featured guest appearances from Stefanie Powers (Hart to Hart), Victoria Principal (Dallas), Cesar Romero (Joker in the original Batman TV series) & Margot Kidder (Lois Lane in the Superman films).

Banacek was picked up for a third season, but before filming started, Peppard quit the show in order to prevent his ex-wife Elizabeth Ashley from receiving a larger percentage of his earnings as part of their divorce settlement. Peppard was known as difficult in his professional and personal life and this complication ended any chance of reviving Banacek during Peppard's lifetime.

Banacek lives in a mansion at 85 Mt. Vernon Street on Beacon Hill in Boston, the same house used in The Thomas Crown Affair starring Steve McQueen. Peppard had previously lost out to Steve McQueen for the role in The Magnificent Seven.

Synopsis: High class and high mystery is the world of suave, Polish-American Thomas Banacek (George Peppard), Boston’s leading insurance investigator. Banacek is called in to investigate the most baffling and ingenious of crimes which have exhausted the minds of all others. Using logic and with the aid of his chauffeur (Ralph Manza), his chess-playing associate and a bevy of beautiful women, Banacek launches intricate investigations to reveal, like a magician, the solution to inexplicable crimes whilst quoting spurious Polish proverbs… “a truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn.”

For your chance to win, correctly answer the following question:
George Peppard starred in another cult TV show in the eighties, which suffered a lazy reboot in 2010. What was it called?
Best of luck.
