Anyone watch "Mr. Selfridge"?

I'm wondering what Rose's terminal lung disease is. Cancer? They never said!

TB

You know Rose Selfridge was a real person who you can look up, right? She died from pneumonia in 1918.

And is Henri not one of the hottest characters on TV?

He is indeed. Agnes, however, drives me crazy. She's lovely to look at, but her halting, stammering way of talking sends me over the deep end. And I love Josie with the Belgian boarder (can't remember his name). She deserves to be happy. He is also tres hot.

I assumed Agnes' stammer is character driven. She's charming. I love her. The characters on this show are so engaging. Yes!!! I'm so glad that Josie is finally getting some well-deserved happiness. I couldn't believe Grove's gall in suggesting that they continue their Thursdays after marrying and betraying her with the new young, fertile wife. Unbelievable, ha, not really.

Well, they take liberties with real life people in TV, n'est pas?

Exactly. I'm the OP and yes, I did know that Harry and Rose Selfridge were real people, but there are a lot of aspects to the TV show that are probably fictional or very loosely based in fact. So I thought I'd check to see how Rose the character would be dying, as opposed to Rose the real person.

I checked Wikipedia, no record of Harry being a spy... So yes, they are taking liberties.

Is anyone watching the latest season (3) on PBS?

I find it ridiculous that Agnes is oblivious to how bad the Battle of Verdun was.

Keep watching. I wonder what future the LeClairs have for the rest of the season?

I like this show, but it drags a little. Breaking every scene up just as soon as it gets going.

But ooh, trouble in Selfridge Homes for the Heroes!?
Scandal!

Agnes drives me more and more crazy. It's the way she speaks - so annoying!!
