The 8 part series "Mr. Selfridge" begins airing on PBS's "Masterpiece Classic" here in the US on Easter Sunday.
There's an online chat with Jeremy Piven the next day; it's at 1 pm Eastern time.
I found a wikipedia article about the real life Harry Selfridge.

Hope they're streaming the show. I really want to see it.

Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Anyone else watch the series finale last night?
A lot happened within an hour and half! After what happened with Miss Bunting things headed south. There were a few bright moments--Agnes and Victor for example. In the end, there were threads to lead into season 2.
When the show ended, there was a brief interview of Jeremy Piven talking a little bit about the next season. One of things he said that it would start in 1914.
There's a non-fiction book about Mr. Selfridge titled Shopping, Seduction, & Mr. Selfridge by Lindy Woodhead

I've got all eight episodes on the DVR. Probably won't get to watch them until school's out when I will probably finish them all in two days!
