Mr Selfridge : Back Story on Tilly Brockless
Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
I would like to see a spin-off centering on Tilly Brockless, but that's just wishful thinking.
"You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves . . . two grown men acting like . . . grown men!!!"

Me too! She's so charming.
Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
And gracious.
Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
The actress is very capable and I fear was rather short-changed here with Tilly. I wouldn't mind seeing her in something else later on, regardless the role. I bet given the chance, she'd make it work.
Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
I wish you could 'like' posts. I agree, Tilly was charming, graceful, modest and her character had so much potential. I've enjoyed her storyline
Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
She wasn't so much snubbed for being Black as she was for the 'scandal'.
Had that not been there, she would have been left alone.

Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
Ahh! You are correct.
I had trouble with my television reception the day the episode aired in which Tilly is hired. Most of what I saw was her interview with Mr. Grove and Madame Rennard (Lady Mae). I didn't care enough to stream the episode later. Now I recall it, Miss Ellis *did* have the information on Tilly's departure under a cloud from her previous employer, and alluded to that several times before she went to Grove later on.

Re: Back Story on Tilly Brockless
There were Blacks in the UK since the 1700s mostly around the port cities but also in London. Of course they were ill-treated and relegated to doing the worst jobs in society.
Liverpool has the oldest Black community in Britain.
That being said, it was only recently in the 1960s when Blacks could work alongside Whites.
I didn't really like the Tilly backstory, it appeared like another classic bigoted supervisor which would have been more likely the case, but the fake reference story line was a poor reason.
