“There’s No Fun Like Work!”

JEREMY PIVEN CLOSES UP SHOP AS MR. SELFRIDGE SUN 9PM

MAR 27-MAY 22

It’s closing time for mercantile genius Harry Selfridge as he faces creditors, swindlers, mob bosses, irate relatives, and spurned mistresses in the farewell season of the MASTERPIECE series MR. SELFRIDGE. In nine nail-biting final episodes, three-time Emmy® winner Jeremy Piven concludes his role as the man who revolutionized the world’s retail experience.

Season four follows the unpredictable arc of Harry’s career to its thrilling climax, charting the fate of the showman with the big heart, shaky morals, and dogged belief that the dice roll will save him – and his store – every time.

Making new trouble for Harry in the final season are Jimmy Dillon, an Anglo-Indian entrepreneur specializing in too-good-topass-up business deals; press magnate Lord Wynnstay, who exploits Harry’s shocking private life to sell newspapers; and the blonde bombshells of their era, Dolly sisters Rosie and Jennie, American twin dancers who appeal to Harry’s wicked streak.

I’m Gerd Hedman of Hedman Vineyards / Peachbarn Café, and WSIU is Powered by Me. I like WSIU because of it’s importance to this area. WSIU-TV provides me with entertaining programs that are also educational. With such a large array of different programs, everyone should be able to find a program to enjoy on WSIU-TV and WSIU Radio.

Coming Soon to WSIU-TV!

SUNDAYS 7PM | APRIL 3-MAY 22 It’s 1961 and Poplar is beginning to feel the winds of social change, along with improvements in housing, sanitation, and healthcare. In season five, the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House encounter complex and challenging cases, from an outbreak of typhoid to the increase in lung cancer, a pregnant teenager and a mother who vanishes. All are shaken when, several months apart, two babies are born with severe deformities. As they struggle to understand why, they must find ways to deal with the resulting medical and emotional fallout.
