Enter our competition to win a DVD of We’ll Take Manhattan starring Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan

Following its screening on BBC4 last week, We’ll Take Manhattan, is coming to DVD on 30 January through Universal Playback.

Over the course of a freezing week, Bailey realised he had found his muse – someone both he and his camera had fallen in love with.

We’ll Take Manhattan brings to life the whirlwind romance between Bailey and Shrimpton and the explosive love affair which set the look of the 1960s along the way. Courtesy of Universal Playback, we have three copies of the DVD for you to win. To be in with a chance, just head over to our Facebook page for details on how to enter.
