Channel 5 Boards PBS Masterpiece Period Drama ‘The Forsytes’


Channel 5 is making 'The Forsyte Saga' with PBS Masterpiece starring Millie Gibson and Francesca Annis.

Penned by British screenwriter Debbie Horsfield(Poldark), the series chronicles the lives of four generations of an upper-class family of stockbrokers, set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving late-Victorian world. The Trial explores a chillingly plausible near-future in which parents are held legally responsible for the crimes of their children, raising unsettling questions about justice, culpability, and the limits of state control. High profile shows set to launch include David Suchet-starrer The Au Pair, Jason Watkins and Robson Green’s Cat and Mouse and the latest season of All Creatures.
