The Forsyte Saga

Episode Synopsis

Jon and Irene relocate to Canada. On the rebound, Fleur marries Michael Mont, who assumes narration of the series. Two years and more pass, during which a new cast of characters arrives on the scene. Michael’s father Sir Lawrence (“Bart”) invites Soames to join the board of directors of an insurance company, where Soames is suspicious of the managing director, Elderson. Poor guttersnipe Bicket is sacked from his position at Michael’s publishing house, and is forced to sell balloons on the street to support his ailing wife, Victorine. Fleur flirts dangerously with Michael’s best friend, moody poet Wilfred Desert.
