Mr Selfridge
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:) |

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. |

Mrs. D, Maybe there will be reruns of series 1. It took me a while last year to get into the story; but mid way thru; started looking forward the the next episode. Now....looking forward to Series 2. Gerry |
The best episodes are the ones without much of Jeremy Piven.
He is disappointing as an actor. M |
Must say that knowing the history of Harry Selfridge...I think Jeremy Piven is so well suited to the role!
Here is an interesting bit of background on Selfridges http://www.pbs.org/program/secrets-selfridges/ |
tomorrow (Monday 3/10) is the last day to watch season 1 episode 1 video on PBS http://video.pbs.org/video/2363169243/

I see that you have to sign in to watch it.
