The Complete Forsyte Saga dvd??

Well!! It turns out that over in Europe, they have released a DVD that contains the entire 1st and 2nd series of the BBC's "Forsyte Saga" miniseries from early 2000 titled "The Complete Forsyte Saga"!! Inexpensive, too. This is NOT to be confused with "The Forsyte Saga, the Complete Series" from 1969, which I don't want.

See??

But it's not available as a complete series yet (or ever?) in the US. No, we have to pay a lot more and buy them separately. Pooh!!

Gack. I just bought this--$60 for one and $40 for the other. Of course, I had a membership discount, $7 left on a gift card and a 15% off sale and a buy two get one free sale so I also got the new Sense and Sensibility which is paired with Miss Austen Regrets, but this is a much better deal!

I think all of that mess came to $70 or so, which isn't so bad for four series, but still :)

I know it’s so frustrating – I had the same problem with Daniel Deronda – I was dying to see it, but couldn’t find it anywhere in the UK, so had to order it from the US after all. The same story with A Doll’s House with Anthony Hopkins (I am studying the play as a part of my literature course and I have to consider performance possibilities for my assignment, so I desperately tried to find this version on dvd here, but in vain –again, ordered it from America)
If you wish I can buy The Forsyte Saga for you, but you will need region 2 dvd player to watch it.

Yepps, I have that box *smug* ;)
I heart Damian Lewis!
But can't you order it from amazon uk? I'm sure they'd ship to the states?
