Yes, I have fond memories of that 1960s version of The Forsyte Saga. The more recent version was well done I thought, but I don't think it was up to the 1960s version, which had the luxury of 26 episodes I seem to remember, so the scriptwriters were able to follow the books closely.

I agree on the film - lovely though Greer Garson was, the film was pretty clunky I seem to remember.
