If
you enjoy beautifully costumed period drama well directed and presented, then
tune into the second series of Mr
Selfridge, broadcast on BBC Entertainment (channel 120 on DStv) on Sundays
at 21h00.
It's
1914, and for the American entrepreneur Harry Gordon Selfridge, business at his
world famous Selfridge & Co. department store on London's Oxford Street is
booming.
As
the store celebrates its fifth year of trading, rumours of a coming war in
Europe are gathering pace. Harry tries to prepare his staff for the potential
changes ahead, while making sure his profits stay high. If war does arrive, he
knows the business must do its bit on the home front, and work to keep British
morale high.
Harry
is a very busy man, and he's feeling the pressure now that his wife Rose has
taken to spending extended periods of time back home in America with their
young daughters. Even his son is away at school, though he wants desperately to
work at his father's store.
Dark
days lay ahead for both the business and the nation, but Harry is determined to
see them out with his trademark flair and passion.
