AS SEEN ON MASTERPIECE THEATRE

Based on the stories by H.E. Bates (The Darling Buds of May)

A loveable rascal with a heart of gold

Five-time Oscar® nominated actor Albert Finney (Erin Brockovich, The Bourne Ultimatum) brings to life the loveable Uncle Silas, a charming old rascal whose love of alcohol and women make him a bad influence on his 10-year-old nephew Edward, who has come to the country to spend the summer with him.

Together, Silas and Edward recognize the sophistication of Victorian-era England... and then set out to ignore it and have fun. Sure, the old ladies huff and sneer, but that is because they don t know what Edward knows: that the uncouth Silas is a diamond in the rough with a heart of gold.
