Masterpiece/WGBH said yesterday that it would co-produce ITV Studios’ upcoming series Mr. Selfridge starring Jeremy Piven. Today, ITV Studios Global Entertainment has confirmed pre-sales of the drama to Australia’s Seven Network, Sweden’s SVT, Israel’s YES DBS Satellite Services and PBS’ Masterpiece. Piven stars as the flamboyant American entrepreneur and UK department store founder Harry Gordon Selfridge who changed the way British women shopped in the early 20th century. The ten-part series is created by Andrew Davies and executive produced by Kate Lewis for ITV Studios and Rebecca Eaton for Masterpiece. It’s currently in production in London.

oi, this all just got so very Bri-Ish. proper Bri-Ish.
eat your heart out, Downtown Abbey. you might have gotten Shirley MacLaine, but those stuffed shirts can’t hold a candle to Master Piven, late of WGBH by way of ITV.
They’ve been shooting this just round the corner from me in London actually, in an old shop ,looks good.
I think this could be really good, Selfridge was a pretty interesting guy who changed the way lot of retailing was done in that era.
Stay away from the sushi.
