Talk:The Forsyte Saga

Merge Soames Forsyte page into The Forsyte Saga main page?

The Soames Forsyte page is currently needing cleanup, and seems to be more like a stub. Is this separate character page warranted, or should that material be worked into the main article? Dl2000 01:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Soames Forsyte is a pretty major fictional character. I would think he deserves his own article. Deb 19:13, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I put the previous content up on Soames Forsyte because the material BEFORE that was highly biased and painted him as a cold wife-rapist. He's really an extremely complex character, full of flaws, who grows and changes throughout the novels.Saxophobia 03:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Popularity of 1967 Forsyte Saga TV Series

The incredible popularity of this series, both in Britain and the United States (1969), was almost a cultural phenomenon and cannot be accounted for by the sheer length of the series. The appeal of the subject matter must reach deeper than that.

I have no idea why the length of the series would have any bearing on its popularity. If it were truly bad television, no one would care to watch it. Although the series is no somewhat dated, the acting is excellent and the issues it addresses (love, duty, women's role in society) are pertinent today.

Rewrite plot section

I think the opening line says it all: "What follows is an account of the adapted miniseries which aired c. 2002." Does anyone have a summary/can anyone write a summary of the books? I'd be willing to help, but it has been a while since I've read them and my copy is in storage at the moment. In any case, I think having a summary of one of the mini-series instead of the novels is unacceptable. -Hazey Jane 22:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I completely agree; and while we're on the topic of the unacceptable, can someone put in the titles of Galsworthy's two trilogy sequels, rather than (or possibly, just, in addition to) something completely unrelated from year later. I'd do it (the plot summary too), but it's been too long.... Cheers, Lindsay 12:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

"Mini-series"?

The 1967 TV version, to which this title is applied, was shown in 26 episodes. How is that a mini-series? 81.158.1.156 (talk) 02:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
