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!!

but you will need region 2 dvd player to watch it.
That's the problem! I'm sure I don't have a dvd player that plays anything but US dvd's, otherwise I would have jumped on the Amazon.com.uk deal. So weird that the US has different dvd players than Europe!! I wonder why?

You are sweet to offer to help me to get it!!

Hey, I just finally got a copy of Daniel Deronda on dvd, too! I'd rented it before, but never owned it. Good luck on your literature assignment. I read A Doll's House and loved it!

I’ve got 3 dvd players, and paradoxically only the cheap and nasty one we got for 20 pounds in our local supermarket will play region 1 dvds… I personally don’t understand the reason behind it – even within Europe there are different regions, and sometimes dvds I brought to England from my home country Belarus (which is region 5 or something like this) won’t play in neither of our dvd players((

Oh,and I also wanted to say that your Chemise a la Reine turned out so beautiful))
