TalkTalk has asked us to find out what TV gransnetters will be watching this winter?

Here's what TalkTalk say, "We have a huge range of entertainment lined up this winter on the UK’s fastest growing TV service and we want to find out what you will be pausing, rewinding and recording as the nights draw in.”

“Are you looking forward to warming up in front of an episode of Lewis or tucking into new episodes of Scandal? Whatever you are after TalkTalk gives you flexible access to great shows without the hefty costs. It's TV you'll be glued to - not stuck with.

“Here at TalkTalk TV we're championing flexible TV and are proud to be the only provider that let's viewers enjoy additional shows from both sides of the Atlantic, blockbuster movies, sports or kids channels for just a month, or in some cases a day at a time, giving you a little bit of what you fancy when it suits you.

“We have hundreds of hours of on demand entertainment from Sky 1, Sky Living, 4OD, Fox and many more so you can catch the latest Gogglebox, Modern Family, The Walking Dead or Homeland. With our new TV Boost packages, TV Box and Collections from ITV, you can watch hours of Suits, Lewis, Birds of a Feather and 30 Rock a month at a time with no ongoing commitment.”

So, what are your favourite TV shows, new and old? Do you tune into hours of The Bletchley Circle at a time or look forward to a weekly dose of Scandal? Are you hooked to classic shows or just found a great new series? Whatever it is, we’d love to know which TV programmes you’re enjoying and how you are watching them!

Everyone who leaves a comment below by 1 December will be entered into a prize draw to win £150 Love2Shop voucher.

Thanks and good luck,

I'm boring, I like watching the evening news! I also try to catch Grey's Anatomy and Bones.

Being retired means we watch afternoon t.v. in the wintertime, and there are some quite good programmes on then. The BBC do a series of short plays for a week, which we enjoy, and record if we happen to be out. We love Pointless and the rapport between Alexander and Richard. Travel journals are great, depending of course on the presenter and The One Show makes a good start to settling down for the evening.

I'm really looking forward to the Christmas Day Special of Downton Abbey, but on a weekly basis I'm loving The Missing and QI.

My daughter has just introduced me to Gogglebox and I can't quite get my head around watching someone on TV - who is watching TV. confused

ga my daughter and I are hooked on Gogglebox. (Her and my SIL are living with us at the moment).

My favourite TV shows are a good crime drama or murrrrder (as Taggart used to say) mystery, including the foreign ones. I like Grand Designs too. Sometimes I will find a tear jerker movie (usually in the late afternoon when I have time to sit down with my knitting), that doesn't require too much concentration. An occasional quiz show.

That's about it really.

I like to think my t.v viewing is fairly diverse and I will try most progs.

I enjoy political progs. from Live Parliament to Daily Politics, Andrew Marr etc. I thoroughly enjoy the light hearted political related spin off shows such as Have I Got News, Mock the Week, Agenda, 8 out of 10 Cats etc. etc.

I enjoy many American shows Nip Tuck, Ali McBeal, Greys Anatomy, First Blood, Scandal, Homeland, Chigago PD, so many excellent series to mention.

I would like to be able to see old American progs such as Roots, Queenie, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Mork and Mindy, Golden Girls, again so many to mention.

A good dertective story is always a favourite with most people but I prefer the harder hitting story lines such as Wire in the Blood, Rebus, Waking the Dead, The Fall, opposed to Granchester and Lewis which I find a tad boring. Body of Proof, Castle and The Mentalist are middle of the road but good viewing.

Anything that makes me smile,, Mrs. Browns Boys, Would I Lie to you, Not Going Out, Goggle Box, are definite favourites and I class them with progs. such as The Apprentice, Strictly, I'm A Celebrity .

I'm a sucker for historical dramas such as The White Queen and The Tudors, who cares if a bit of poetic licence applies. If you want pure facts watch a good documentory

Documentaries
News and current affairs
Drama
Quiz shows but not ones that depend on contestants doing stupid things or entirely on luck.
Films
Not reality shows, not talent shows, not magazine shows.
Top Gear and sport will be on over the holiday because DS and DGS will be here, also children's programmes. I may be watching.

I like a good strong drama- Remember Me, The Missing, The Fall and Broadchurch have appealed, and Downton Abbey is a must see. Eastenders and Corrie are the soaps I watch. Pointless and Only Connect. Not Going Out and Stella, if Ruth Jones does another series. I enjoy watching the old comedy classics on Drama,like ever Decreasing Circles, To the Manor Born and Just Good Friends, which have all been shown recently. Anything with Lucy Worsley is a must see, as are historical series like The Plantagenets
(but hated The Tudors dramatisation). I also like Michael Portillo's railway journeys.

Can't stand Mrs Brown's Boys and Citizen Khan, Bake Off, Masterchef, Allotments, Sewing Bee, and I used to love Strictly but it's become so samey.
