Critically acclaimed horror period-drama The Terror has been thrilling TV audiences and critics on its BBC transmission,  it has been described by The Independent in a five star review as 'An ageless story of mystery and fear and the most compelling new drama to reach British screens this year'. This must-see series is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and we have 10 DVD copies to win thanks to Acorn Media International.

Based on Dan Simmons’ best-selling novel, the series tells the imagined tale of what happened to the crew of a real life Royal Naval expedition that saw two British ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, set out in the hope of navigating the Northwest Passage to the Pacific, but disappeared without trace. 

The gripping 10-part series follows the crew of the doomed expedition led by three captains, Sir John Franklin (Ciaran Hinds – Game of Thrones, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Francis Crozier (BAFTA® winner Jared Harris – Chernobyl, Mad Men) and James Fitzjames (Golden Globe® nominee Tobias Menzies – The Crown, Games of Thrones). Sent  to find the Arctic's fabled and treacherous Northwest Passage they instead discover a monstrous polar bear-like predator, a cunning and vicious Gothic horror that stalks the ships in a desperate game of survival.

However, it soon becomes clear that that's just the beginning of their troubles. As things worsen and civilised behaviour disintegrates in favour of survival at any cost, the crew must simultaneously battle the elements, the supernatural and eventually – themselves. The captains make contact with a mute Inuit woman, Lady Silence (Nive Nielsen – The New World, Togo), who lives as an outcast from her tribe but still follows their old religion…can they trust her to help them, or will she only add to The Terror?
