The first season of Halt and Catch Fire is released today on DVD in the UK. To celebrate, we have three copies to give away.

The show, which stars Lee Pace and Scoot McNairy, is set at the dawn of the PC-era, as three unlikely mavericks race to build a computer that will revolutionise the modern world.

Pace plays former IBM executive Joe MacMillan, who plans to reverse engineer IBM’s flagship product to produce a smaller and faster PC. He enlists the help of engineer Gordon Clark (McNairy) and volatile prodigy Cameron Howe (MacKenzie Davis), who put their lives at risk in the hope of revolutionising the market.

The complete first season arrives on disc just in time to catch up before Season 2, which premieres on 2nd June on Amazon Prime, 48 hours after its US broadcast.
