Can't wait for the next installment. The 2002 version only took us through about 2 books. That is not enough to fully build the Soames character. We see his growth from Victorian straight-lace to loathsome jilted husband to revenge-laden ruiner of another relationship. We await his final flowering into adulthood! Irini is not as sexy as Nyree Dawn Porter's version. She smoulders better however, and it appears that she will also mature as in the books. Poor old Jolyan and young Jolyan: unfulfilled as ever. The rest of the characters are of sufficient depth that, if this were a current-day TV sitcom, ala "Friends", each could spin-off into their own series.
The production is lavish, but the audio is distorted due to setting the auto-record level too high. Background noises are amplified to the point of distraction when there is no dialog to re-establish the record threshold. Perhaps Granada can fix that?

The entire Forsyte Saga written between 1906 and 1933 (last 2 books were published after his death) earned John Galsworthy his Nobel prize. The version that the BBC produced is true to the story and the characters. Eric Porter's Soames is brilliant. Nyree Dawn Porter, who I never saw again, brings quintisential elegance to the role of Irene. Kenneth More plays Jolyon to the hilt. The remaining cast is solid and binds the 26 hours of TV history together as well.
This program was the forerunner of the extended series. It broke new ground and captivated audiences at the time. The BBC version was based on 6 of the 9 books. That is OK, since the last three books extend the story to relations of the main Forsyte characters.
It is available on video. However the video is PAL format and you need to get it converted to NTSC. (If interested in the details of this please e-mail to me. I do not sell or convert the tapes but I'll tell you how.)
There also is a set of 9 Audio Tapes where the entire book is read by David Case (Books on Tape). Mr. Case does a truly excellent job in bringing every character to life.
I recommend that you get the family tree prior to reading, listening, or viewing the tapes.
This is a real treat to those that like Victorian/Edwardian period pieces.
You'll enjoy
