The Fosdyke Saga: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy Drama

Miriam Margolyes leads a comedy spoof version of John Galsworthy's classic 'The Forsyte Saga' novels. Follow the uproarious antics of the Edwardian Fosdyke family as they work their way out of the mining pits of Lancashire to become rulers of a global tripe empire. An empire that the villainous Roger Ditchely will stop at nothing to try and bring down... A classic tale of struggle, power, personalities, and offal. Based on Bill Tidy's hugely popular Daily Mirror cartoon strip, this full-cast production is a laugh-out-loud parody of John Galsworthy's classic, 'The Forsyte Saga'.Cast and creditsWritten by Bill Tidy and John JunkinProduced by Alan NixonJosiah Fosdyke - Philip LowrieVictoria Fosdyke - Miriam MargolyesRoger Ditchely - Christian RodskaRebecca Fosdyke - Stephanie TurnerBen Ditchley - Colin DouglasTom Fosdyke - David ThrelfallThe King - John WesterbrookThe Warder - John JunkinAlbert Fosdyke - Enn ReitelVon Richtofen and Colonel Boodle - Larry LambThe Sergeant - Trevor CooperSchmidt - David TimsonFifi - Sally GraceThe Strangler - Nick MaloneyThe Judge - David RossOther parts played by - Douglas Blackwell, Christopher Barr, David English, Nick Revell, Arthur Smith and John DougallFirst Broadcast BBC Radio 4, October 1983
