My Uncle Silas - The Complete Collection

A loveable rascal with a heart of gold

Five-time Oscar nominated actor Albert Finney (The Bourne Ultimatum) brings to life H.E. Bates’ charming old rogue Uncle Silas in twelve nostalgic tales set during one long hot summer, circa 1900. Sue Johnston (Clatterford) co-stars as Silas’ eagle-eyed housekeeper Mrs Betts with Joe Prospero (Finding Neverland) as his adoring, 10-year-old nephew Edward, who has come to the country to spend the summer with his loveable old uncle.

As Silas takes Edward under his wing, he is happy to instruct his nephew in the ways of country life and having fun. Whether poaching in the pond, rolling in the hay or boasting in the pub, Silas always finds time to indulge in his two greatest loves: women and home-made wine – the combination of which constantly lands him in hot water.
