And the winners of the Deutschland ’86 competition are…

Deutschland ’86

For the past week, TMINE has been running a competition to win one of two boxsets of Deutschland ’86 on DVD.

All you had to do to enter was ‘Like’ the TMINE Facebook page and leave a comment on either the competition entry post or the matching Facebook post.

Entry closed last night and the following people were all cool and retro enough to want to have Deutschland on DVD:

The names of the three competition entrants

Good odds, hey? Given nearly 600 people knew about the competition just through Facebook and at least another 250 through Twitter, that suggests to me either Deutschland ’86 isn’t that popular or the fact it’s available for free on All 4 means people aren’t fussed about owning it on DVD (yet). Bad luck them!

Now, using the mighty power of the Internet Random Number Generator, I’ve picked two of these three wise people at random from the entries to receive the DVDs. And they are…

Paul Trickle and Martin McArdle! I’ll be in touch tomorrow to arrange delivery.

Commiserations to everyone else – if only I’d had three boxsets to give away, everyone would have been happy.

And, of course, keep your eyes peeled, because I’m sure there’ll be another TMINE competition coming along soon, now that I’ve got back into the groove again.
