We were enamored of the original....way back when it first appeared on PBS.
A few years back, after years of begging for reruns, we discovered we could buy the series from England. So we splurged and had the whole thing sent from London and then paid to have them converted to American standards.

When the tapes were ready we hosted a "Forstye Saga" party with British ale and bangers and mash to accompany the viewing.

Although the original series is a bit dated, it is far superior to the newer version. We particularly enjoyed the first Soames, played by the late Eric Porter.
