Thought this needed saying as many people outside the UK, particularly in the US and Canada, assume all British TV is made my the BBC. It's not. Mr Selfridge is made by ITV, the same broadcaster as D.A. Neither of them is made by the BBC. Right - got that out of my system. On to the show. It's pretty good. Some very sympathetic characters and Jeremy Piven is good in the title role. It's not up the same standard as DA but it does hold its own. Some of the villains are a tad cartoonish but on the whole it fills a Downton Abbey-sized whole in the viewing schedule. Also, some very impressive hats! I was in Selfridges the other day - its much MUCH bigger than the TV makes out. Much bigger.
