OK, do the math. They shoot hundreds of hours with counting all the retakes and errors. They produce 10 hours of actual TV. 10 episodes is the norm for British TV. That is what, 3 or 4 movies that usually take at least 2 to 4 months to shoot. If the story line goes any further in time, we will lose most of the characters that are +50. I don't want to see Robert or Violet die.
We have Mr Selfridge to look forward to starting next week with the repeat of the first season.
