Re: The Forsytes

They leave out a lot which makes it very superficial.

(Why make Fleur the narrator? she wasn't there and didn't know about half of it.)

Re: The Forsytes

Lila I am enjoying the adaptation , it is understated but all the main points are included .
I guess Fleur is just looking back over the family history, I didn't realise she was the narrator to being with

That is it now till April I think .

Re: The Forsytes

Depends what you see as the main points. So much just left out.

Re: The Forsytes

Get the box set of the 1968 BBC series from the local library. It's brilliant.

Re: The Forsytes

Yes, I did see that (though of course they left a lot out of that too). No, I wouldn't want a box set.
