Adored by his 10-year-old nephew, the incorrigible Uncle Silas is not the ideal role model. As one acquaintance points out, "He is noisy, dirty, mischievous, and nothing but trouble. And he is played to the hilt by Albert Finney, whose lecherous, wine-nipping poacher suggests Tom Jones, one of Finney's signature roles, gone gloriously to seed. Originally broadcast on the venerable PBS series Masterpiece Theatre, this raucous miniseries is based on the nostalgic, turn-of-the-century rural stories by H.E. Bates. These six episodes are much less sentimental than those in the first series. "Finger Wet, Finger Dry" is a particularly randy farce, as Silas dallies with the village policeman's robust wife and winds up trapped in her cellar. The very model of escapist entertainment, each breezy near-half-hour episode is like a little holiday. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews of My Uncle Silas - Series 2
A feel good series My Uncle Silas series 2 staring Albert Finney is a great look at the relationship that can develop between a young boy and his older although not especially wiser great uncle. As Uncle Silas, Finney is excellent at showing his great nephew Edward, played wonderfully by Joe Prospero, the way not to carry on as a proper gentleman. Although set in England in the time before World War 1 the stories and the lessons that they teach are timeless. Take the time and sit back and relax and enjoy the delightful tales that playout in this series.
