I like it, but I'd like a hell of a lot more if they'd ditch those seriously terrible song sequences. It's not as if they're even funny.

Also it's part of Helm's standup routine so a bit of self indulgence on his part to mix comedy and music. At least it's different than your regular sitcom. |

There have been some good songs. The peisode in the music studio was begging to have a song/video break out during it and it was probably the best of the 2 series.

Just caught up the with the last episode of the series. As an episode of Uncle i thought it was okay, not one of the best. It had its moments particularly when they went to cash the cheque and insulted the guys mum!
I also liked the return of Roopesh. As the series finale i thought it ended brilliantly and on a cliffhanger. Did anyone really think Andy was going to turn his life around? Teresa pregnant with Andy's baby? That's some series 3 of Uncle right there! I'm guessing no more Melodie now. Really hope it comes back, i don't think there's any news on series 3, either way with no more BBC3 soon i hope the show moves channel to BBC2. The shows worth the move. |

The original pilot was on C4 so as a last resort they could look to move back there.

Series one has rerun on BBC One, so future years' episodes, even if initially run on neo-digi-Three, could turn up on One for televiewers...

Can't see it staying on BBC3 when it goes purely digital, would've thought BBC2 would be a good fit.
Had the good luck of meeting Nick at a DVD signing he did with Elliot (Errol) at HMV Oxford Street last week. He's either lost a stack of weight or else the camera really does put on a minimum of 10 lb! He looked great, and was absolutely lovely too, taking ages with each person to sign, chat and pose for photos. |

Third series commissioned.
Will be on iPlayer to start with and probably a repeat run on BBC1 or BBC2. https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/news/196...elm_bbc_three/ |

The first episode of series 3 is on iPlayer and is getting a repeat on BBC One on Fridays at 23:25. What did you think?

I didn't find it as funny as previous episodes, maybe because Rolly is older, it seems a bit more scripted.
