Only 2 episodes left and then...
is that it no season 5 ??
shareI hope not, I think they made a mistake moving it to Friday. I record it and watch it on a Sunday. I like the show but it's not Friday night TV.

I hope they recommissioni another series. There are a few new characters that I think have potential - Meryl and Tilly, for example.
I agree about the disadvantageous nature of the Friday night slot. I suppose that putting it up against Call the Midwife on a Sunday would be risky, but the 7pm or 9pm slot would be fine, surely. Even a Monday night would be better.
A series 5 is very doubtful.
Unless ITV has not been telling the truth that series 4 is the last. They have announced this is the last one before Series 4 began.
A spin off? Maybe. The other characters ARE interesting and I'd very much like to see how they handle the Depression which is coming in 1929 which is where the series is after episode 9.
And the war years, etc. I think it would all be very interesting to see how the staff get on with all those challenges coming.
But if Harry dies at the end of the next episode in a fast forward epilogue to 1947, then that's it for "Mr. Selfridge."
Having said that 1929 to 1941 when he leaves the store, then to 1947 when he dies is a LONG period to cover in one tiny episode that's not even a full hour of content.
They should do a 2 hr episode - I would love that
shareI don't know anything about Selfridge other than what I've seen in the show, but I would guess that in any other show he is well on his way to penniless and alone.
Where they see visionary, I see self-centered and deluded. Reminds me of my dad always using the term "eccentric" to describe anyone whose behavior cluster was "out there."

Indeed. He also reminds me (in his biographies and the tv series) of the classic megalomaniac.
I wasn't 'there' of course, but it does seem that in the show and real life the death of his wife was when the Harry a possibly emotionally stunted kiddie went totally off the rails without the "adult supervision" of his missus.
And his mother was in the house, too, so two solid mothering figures trying to keep the manchild on the straight and narrow.
He appeared to be a putative grown up (perhaps), but always a bit of an out of control narcissistic little boy into self-gratification at any cost.
Would have loved to have seen the final years of Harry's
