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 the 1920s. The serial was based on the novels and interludes of John Galsworthy's series The Forsyte Saga (for which he won a Nobel Prize in 1932). This series was adapted by Granada Television for the ITV network in 2002 (Series I) and 2003 (Series II). Additional funding was provided by American PBS station WGBH, as the 1967 BBC version had been a success on PBS in the early 1970s.
