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

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.

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.

The best episodes are the ones without much of Jeremy Piven.

He is disappointing as an actor.

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
