ITV has announced new story details for the second series of Mr Selfridge.

The second series of Mr Selfridge has begun production in London.

The first series of Ripper Street concluded on Sunday with an average audience of 5.1m viewers and an audience share of 20.1%.

After being virtually neck-and-neck for weeks ITV’s Mr Selfridge pulled away from Ripper Street on Sunday with 6.1m viewers and a 24.6% audience share.

BBC One has commissioned a new adaptation of War And Peace by Mr Selfridge writer Andrew Davies.

ITV's Mr Selfridge won the Sunday 9pm slot once again this weekend despite being up against the BAFTAs.

ITV has announced the recommission of Mr Selfridge for a second series, before the current run has even finished airing.

The fifth series of Being Human debuted on BBC Three with an audience of 731k (4%) on Sunday and topped the multi-channel ratings.

ITV has released a new preview of its upcoming drama series, with the tagline 'Drama Lives on ITV'.

Exquisite period detail, decent direction and an oddly appropriate soundtrack offset a lack of actual substance and any real surprises.
