	The Forsyte Saga
		The Forsyte Saga, one of the most celebrated of British period drama series ever made, was first shown in the U.K. in 1967 and subsequently in many countries around the world, to universal acclaim.
		Based on the novels of John Galsworthy, the series was made in fl-and-white and comprised twenty-six episodes covering the history of the aristocratic Forsyte family between the years 1879 and 1926 (actually rather longer than the period covered in the novels themselves).
		Similar success greeted the series in other parts of the world, including the United States, and The Forsyte Saga also earned the distinction of being the first BBC series to be sold to the Soviet Union.

		The Forsyte Saga was the last British soap opera made in fl and white, and in terms of characterization and acting, it was probably the finest.
		Due in part to the success in the USA of The Forsyte Saga, PBS was encouraged to begin the Masterpiece Theater series.
		Packed with cliff-hangers and shocks, it was the story of solicitor Soames Forsyte, his beautiful wife Irene, her affair, his claim on his property (by raping her), her lover's death, her divorce, marriage to the painter 'young' Jolyon and later the fraught relationship between their son Jon and Soames' daughter Fleur.

		Under no circumstance is adultery acceptable; yet movies like The Forsyte Saga encourage viewers to believe it may be right in the proper circumstances.
		Forsyte demands the woman leave the house, Jolyon and Helene's mutual affection for one another is shown openly and he chooses to leave his wife and daughter and take Helene as his mistress.
		One nice consuquences of this is that his father seeks to repair their damaged relationship and becomes involved in his grandchildren's' lives; he also shows compassion for Irene when the Forsytes turn their back on her for leaving Soames.

		The Forsyte Saga is often cited as the first television miniseries; it wasn't, but there's no question that it was a singular, powerful cultural phenomenon that deservedly got under the skin of European viewers in 1967 and changed the American TV landscape two years later.
		Above all, Forsyte is driven by its characters--perhaps to an extreme, though the two-generation storyline makes no apologies for creating compelling people whose capacity for short-sighted blundering, bursts of grace, and slow-brewing redemption make them recognizably human.
		All of the Forsyte clan, and there are many members of this Victorian family, are touched in some way or another by the marriage and later divorce of Soames and Irene.

	THE FORSYTE SAGA, VOL 1 - John Galsworthy - Penguin UK
		The Forsyte Saga is the first part of John Galsworthy’s magnificent, well-loved Forsyte Chronicles, which trace the changing fortunes of the wealthy Forsyte dynasty through fifty years of material triumph and emotional disaster.
		The Forsyte Saga begins as the nineteenth century is drawing to a close, and the upper middle classes, with their property and propriety, are becoming a dying section of society.
		The Forsytes are blind to this fact, clinging to their conventions and ‘brilliant respectability’.

	MUSIC IN "THE FORSYTE SAGA" by Phil Scowcroft MusicWeb(UK) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		In John Galsworthy's Forsyte Saga we would expect it to feature less as the Forsyte ethos is basically Philistine; though young John Jolyon dabbles in painting and both June and Soames in their different ways collect pictures.
		The keenest music lovers among the Forsytes is of course old Jolyon, though his grand-daughter Holly is quite fond of it.
		Orfeo is one of the things Irene, the Saga's heroine, plays to him on the piano, long with lashings of Chopin - nocturnes, studies, mazurkas and waltzes - and possibly bits of Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, and Schumann as he liked them too.

		The central character is Soames Forsyte, the "man of property" who ardently woos and marries a reluctant Irene Heron.
		The Forsyte Saga is a landmark in the discrediting of the traditional concept of marriage, and it is loaded with cliches - marriage as merely a social convention, romantic love and sexual attraction as trumping fidelity, the artist as someone who courageously defies stifling bourgeoise values.
