What confidence and persuasion he had (and $$$$ too)

I love the historic elements of the series - a department store in the early 1900's in England - and of course the fashion , particularly the hair and hats.
The writing is quite clever as well but I just enjoy watching it!

I am looking forward to series 2 coming to Australia!
