I saw the complete 5 disc Series of The Forsyte Saga, which is based on John Galsworthy's novel, on eBay for only $20 and felt it wise to add it to my collection of brilliant TV series DVDs. Often, due to mass production, wonderful DVDs that we wish to view again, maybe a decade or more from now, are becoming unavailable for purchase. This 2002 version of The Forsyte Saga has Bryn Terfel singing the haunting signature song, Irene's Theme "Life is a dance we must learn...". (It was worth buying for that alone. Google it, listen and you'll see why). Just as other quality English Series have an amazing appeal to many of us at present(eg Downton Abbey and Agatha Christie's Poirot and Miss Marple productions, so does the Forsyte Saga. For me it is because they portray periods that have now passed us by, when there was good clothing, good speech, and good manners. These are all English productions where English is spoken properly. With the English language being simplified in order to attract a worldwide listening, buying and learning audience, much of the beauty of correct English language usage has been forgotten. Also, there is no vulgarity in any of these popular productions. I believe many people have a certain nostalgia for times past, because the coarseness that has crept into our language in the last few decades is certainly not to be saved and remembered. The Forsyte Saga is one to keep and treasure. I cannot recommend it sufficiently highly. The 1967 B/W version, which can be bought for over $100 on eBay, is perhaps more faithful to the book and is also wonderful.Read full review
