If The Man of Property wins, I shall dig out my DVDs of the first Forsyte Saga television series, the one with Eric Porter and Kenneth More. I loved that, back in the day; I have no idea how it will hold up. I couldn't get into the 2002 series which didn't seem to me to be true to the story, but I should probably try it again if only for the production values. And then there's the movie version, That Forsyte Woman, with Greer Garson and Errol Flynn; I have only a dim memory of that but I didn't think it was very true to the text, either.
