The Fosdyke Saga was a British comic strip by cartoonist Bill Tidy, published in the Daily Mirror newspaper from March 1971 - February 1985.
A large part of the subsequent saga deals with Roger's unsuccessful attempts to regain his inheritance or otherwise gain revenge over the next twelve years; for example, when one of the Fosdyke sons attempts to sell tripe in the United States during Prohibition, he is nearly killed by Ditchley and his gangster associates who are selling alcoholic tripe on the black market.
The many Fosdyke children grow up and have adventures of their own, including joining the Royal Flying Corps during World War I.
The Fosdyke Saga has been adapted as a TV series (starring Roger Sloman and Sherrie Hewson), a radio serial by the BBC and a stage play.
The radio adaptation starred (among others) Miriam Margolyes, Enn Reitel, Christian Rodska and David Threlfall.
