It does all seem very familiar. The Paradise was based on a book by the French writer Emile Zola, written in 1883, inspired by Le Bon Marché department store, and Mr Selfridge is based on Lindy Woodhead’s 2007 biography "Shopping, Seduction and Mr Selfridge". The series may have been written by the same screenwriters.
I love period drama though, so I shall be rivetted!
hopefully it will pick up now the store is open. Mr Selfridge led a very interesting naughty life indeed. He used to live at Highcliffe Castle, where I live - The village I mean, not the Castle.
I watched Ripper Street also which is great fun, a bit like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Now I am a bit disappointed hearing that news, valda. I always had you pegged for a castle dweller and now you go and shatter my illusions!

I saw that the other night. She's right about mixing fruit and veg with proper food!! I've never tried carrot cake or ham and pineapple pizza, merely cos you don't put fruit on a pizza - and you dont put veg into a cake!! Like she says - EAT THEM SEPARATELY!!!

3:10 to Yuma. The son (William) is the spitting image of Aaron Taylor-Johnson - seriously they could have been separated at birth, the parents need to check!
