Cast
The Forsyte Saga is a British drama television serial that chronicles the lives of three generations of an upper-middle-class family from the 1870s to 1920s. It was based on the first two books and the first interlude of John Galsworthy's trilogy The Forsyte Saga, which were adapted by Granada Television for the ITV network in 2002. Additional funding was provided by American PBS station WGBH, as the 1967 BBC version had been a success on PBS in the early 1970s. The second series was titled .
