‘The Forsytes’ scored by Anne Dudley will premiere in the UK on Channel 5, Monday 20th October at 9pm.
The six-part series is produced by Mammoth Screen and the cast includes Francesca Annis, Jack Davenport, Tom Durant-Pritchard, Millie Gibson, Danny Griffin, Susan Hampshire, Owen Igiehon, Tuppence Middleton, Joshua Orpin and Eleanor Tomlinson.
‘The Forsytes chronicles the lives, loves, trials and triumphs of a wealthy late Victorian stockbroking family, whose generations are torn between the tradition and self-sacrifice versus personal happiness and the pursuit of love. Family stability is threatened by two chance encounters for rival cousins, Jolyon (Danny Griffin) and Soames (Joshua Orpin), throwing their previously steady lives into disarray. Married Jolyon contends with the reappearance of his former lover, Louisa (Eleanor Tomlinson), a lady’s maid-turned-dressmaker, while daughter June (Justine Moore) falls for a penniless architect. Soames, meanwhile, is enchanted by the beautiful and free-spirited dancer Irene (Millie Gibson).
The Forsytes is adapted from John Galsworthy novels ‘The Forsyte Saga’ by Debbie Horsfield (Poldark). Directed by Meenu Gaur (Murder Is Easy) and Annetta Laufer (Get Millie Black) and is produced by Sarah Lewis (The Long Shadow).
Anne’s soundtrack will be released digitally in the UK by Dubois Records on the 20th October. Stream/download the album here.
