I'm recording it i believe its a bit similar to the BBC's The Paradise looks good.:)
I am definitely going to watch it but I have a sneaky feeling that I am going to be comparing it to The Paradise which I absolutely loved!!
Apparently Mr Selfridge was/is a very complex character!
He certainly had an interesting life...if you go on to Wikipedia you can read all about it..
Think I will give it a go
Only watching because Jeremy Piven is in it
I was reading on wikipedia about his affair with the Dolly sisters and all of it sounds so interesting! I really can't wait to watch this.
He also had flings with Isadora Duncan, Anna Pavlova and quite a few more I would think.
Regarding a second series, I guess it will depend on how popular this one turns out to be....
I literally just read that It's a really interesting story. Apparently the Dolly sisters spent half of his fortune between them :eek: I'd love to see that played out on screen!
I think they came along later though. The series (or the first episode atleast) is set in 1909. I think he "mingled" with them in the late 30s/early 40s.
No, I am watching it despite the fact that Becky from Corrie is in it. :rolleyes:
The cast list only shows the main 6/7 members of the cast.
I should'nt think it will have the lovely romantic element that The Paradise had as Mr Selfridge was a first class womaniser, but I will reserve judgement until I have seen the first episode tonight...
Yes from what i have been reading it maybe similar to The Paradise as its set in a Department store but that where it stops. Curious to see it anyway. I never heard of Jeremy Piven before this.:)
The only thing I have seen him in was Serendipity where he played a supporting role as John Cusack's friend.
