I bought three seasons of "Mr. Selfridge" all at once, as a gift for my wife, who was having "Downton Abbey" withdrawal symptoms. She had seen some random episodes over a few weeks time, and was interested in the series. I personally watched only snippets of episodes, as she plowed through them with glee. She loves the costumes, hair-dos, manners/mores, intrigue, innuendos, "scandalous bits" (I believe that's British lingo). She has taken them on two visits to other female relatives in other states, and in both cases those ladies were also quickly bashing through the episodes, and became "Selfridgites".... Anyway, "happy wife, happy life" can be furthered by this collection of Period Dramas.
Master Piece Theater Does it again! This is a wonderful story about a Real Life American who goes to England to open the Worlds largest Department store. Along with him, he takes his family and his past.As an Entrepreneur He strives for Beauty, Quality and Showmanship. He Loves Life, but at times, takes it a bit too far. I love the interaction of him with his employees. He keeps them in line, but also is able to show that he does have a heart. Then too, we get a glimpse of what is was like to work for such a man in the turn of the Century! I really really Like this show! Can't wait for the next season! Thanks Again Masterpiece!
Was so relieved to find first disc! I had found Seasons 2-4 on sale. You held the missing season! Being from Chicago made it even more interesting.
