Uncle

Such a great find, and I can't believe that I somehow missed this series when it originally aired. Filled with heart, laughter, pathos and addresses more serious issues such as suicide. drug dependency and bullying without mocking them. The acting's great, especially from the young nephew Errol. I've binged 5 episodes so far and looking forward to the next 15. Bravo!

Uncle is a well written comedy and Nick Helm is an underrated talent..

I started watching the first few episodes and unded up binge watching the entire 3 series..

Three episodes in and so far this is a well written and likable sitcom. Don't be put off by the trailer which didn't really do it justice or the fact that it's screening on the home to some of the worst crimes against TV comedy in recent years, BBC3.

The basic premise is a down on his luck uncle, recently split from his girlfriend and feeling suicidal, saved at the last minute by a call from his sister asking him to look after his nephew. Cue initial hostility followed by gradually thawing / odd couple relationship and some quite moving moments for a sitcom.

It's funny but not really laugh out loud funny that often but somehow that seems to suit its gentle, at times almost Wes Andersonesque, style.

Overall, best new sitcom I've seen in a while and well worth checking out.

This is a really great comedy drama TV series. I laughed all the way. I particularly loved the music video "No Survivors"

Andy, Nick Helm is a fantastic character who is not entirely sympathetic to his young nephew Errol played by Elliot Speller- Gillott. Andy is charged with looking after Errol, and perhaps his ideas of life skills are not entirely appropriate for the nephew that has been put in his charge.

Daisy Haggard is the absolutely gorgeous and fun sister, she adds to the chaos and confusion of Andy's love life. I'd love to have her as an extra sister.

I saw the earlier channel 4 pilot to this, and the first episode was remade and polished the script to perfection. My only regret is that I can only get this on DVD not Blu Ray Boo Hoo.

This show took me two goes to watch it, eight years apart. The first time I tried to watch it I did not even get through the first episode before I gave up. Eight years later I binge watched the entire 3 seasons in one day.

Very good show and well worth watching if you get the chance.
