I need to have a serious gripe about TV One's programming again. I find it an absolute wanton waste to have two superb British dramas on Sunday night Call the Midwife (8.30pm) followed by Mr Selfridge (9.40pm).
Sunday night is a rubbish night for a very late, but great watch. Can't we have them scheduled on two different nights? Or are these two sumptuous programmes low in the pecking order because TV One dramas are considered stuffy and for the elderly and infirm who watch tele from their beds no matter what the hour?
Tomorrow night is the final of this first series of Mr Selfridge which, like the glorious Downton Abbey series, will be missed.
Set in 1909, Mr Selfridge features a fantastic cast of characters whose lives and fortunes become intertwined with their boss, Harry Selfridge, and his magnificent department store.
These characters are a rich cross-section of London life from fashionable society to the bright lights, glamour and mysterious goings-on at some of London's theatres to ruthless big business deals and the mean back-street cafes of working class Londoners.
