Episode synopsis
All is revealed when Silas takes a bath and tells Ned how years earlier, when he was a teenager, he was swimming nude in the river and a girl stole his clothes. He had to bare everything in order to chase her and regain his trousers and says that, to this day, he has no idea who she was. Mrs. Betts does though.
About My Uncle Silas
In 1901, a middle-class schoolboy whose parents are working abroad spends his summer in Bedfordshire with his great-uncle Silas. Though sixty years old, Silas relishes life—he’s a womaniser, drinker, and a poacher. At the prompting of his long-suffering housekeeper, Mrs Betts, he takes on the occasional odd job.
