Review, Uncle, BBC3, Episode 4

I have a confession to make. I'd slightly gone off Uncle this time round, which is why my reviews have been running late. Watching it - previously so much fun - had started to feel like a chore and I wondered where the plot as going. But I take it all back. I was rather blown away by this latest episode.
