Nick Helm interview
Nick Helm talks about the return of Uncle - and why there's a lot of s**t on telly...
Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 10th February 2015Carpet salesman and wannabe musician Andy (Nick Helm) has songwriter's block. He also has a restraining order to prevent any contact with his nephew after last series's inadvertent ecstasy consumption. But considering this is a sitcom centred on slacker Andy and nervy nephew Errol's unlikely friendship, this series two opener sees it continue regardless, the 13-year-old secretly visiting his uncle and helping him write one of the comedy musical numbers that usually punctuate the plot.
