Hi I am wondering if anyone has enjoyed the "Mr Selfridge"series. I watched the first series about this amazing american nicknamed "Mile a minute Harry"because he breathed his ideas into existence and was a supreme delegator. Evidently in real life, Selfridge convinced the GPO (post and communications of that time) to give hime the number 1 so all people had to do to get his department store was dial 1!! 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! Cheers Aggie |

Is that the one about the purveyor of large kitchen appliances?

I'd not heard of it. It looked as if it was a series that I would enjoy though.
Set in 1909. I had a quick look at some reviews etc.. Costumes look amazing too. A lot of the really good movies and series are on too late for me unfortunately. I'll put it on my "to watch" list though. |

I have watched it since episode 1 and excited for the new season starting soon on PBS.
Selfridges was one of my favorite stores when I lived in London. The show is wonderfully done with superb acting. Definitely worth watching

I looked this up... Starts on PBS March 30 2014...
Might be different in different markets, etc. I haven't seen this yet, but I do like period pieces.

When I went to it it said to sign in so I clicked on that. Then it had a privacy policy and nothing about putting in a zip code. When I left the site it said that you could no longer view the video as it had expired.
I found the same thing when I used my search engine - the video has expired. I did try it yesterday when you mentioned it but it had already expired 3/10/14. I was too late. Oh well. I also watch a lot of PBS shows. Actually we have numerous PBS stations to watch on TV.

There were signs that this season will be better than the first . . .. here's hoping.
Henri is back and I like his storyline with Agnes Towler. |

binge watched most of season 1 recently when my PBS station re-aired them. Caught several and got into it. Even my husband watched a bit.Wonder if we will be able to buy/rent a disc of a season 1 to catch up.
Missed the Sunday night of Season 2, hope they re-run it befor next Sunday as I enjoy the show.
