Description
Episode Description
Dazed and terrified by Soames' assault, Irene decides to run away with Bosinney. But an accident on a foggy street puts an end to her plans. In the filler, NET President James Day interviews John Bennett, who plays the role of Philip Bosinney, the young architect who becomes engaged to June and then falls in love with Irene. Day and Bennett discuss the offbeat character of Bosinney and speculate on whether Bosinney's death in the "Saga" is an accident or a suicide, a question that was left unanswered by Galsworthy. (Description adapted from documents in the NET Microfiche)
Series Description
This television series dramatizes the series of books, The Forsyte Saga, written by John Galsworthy. The music is from a composition titled Three Elizabeths Suite by Eric Coates (1886-1957) which has been recorded by the London Pops Orchestra on the Mercury label, LP 90439. Airing after each episode is a series of filler segments titled Behind the Scenes, which generally run about seven minutes. They feature conversations between NET President James Day and persons associated with the production of The Forsyte Saga, including in some cases the performers. The series consist of 26 hour-long episodes that were originally recorded in black and white.
