Uncle Dad is a children's sitcom on CITV in the UK.
The show is about brothers and sisters who are forced to live with their uncle in a house full of various animals and creepy crawlies. The Devlin children, a bunch of feisty brothers and sisters, are dumped on their eccentric Uncle Roy. The Devlins stick together and poor Uncle Roy is far more comfortable dealing with exotic animals and jungle tribes than children like the Devlins. He’s determined to get rid of the kids, but then they’re equally determined to stay! In a house that’s part jungle, part zoo (and all mad), Uncle Roy and the kids battle it out to decide whose rules prevail.
Characters
There's 16-year old Justin, the eldest, a pretty serious type who's used to taking on the role of head of the family. He's not very experienced with the fairer sex, and the battle with his geeky image sometimes masks the fact he's a really nice guy.
Then there’s rebel sister Charlie, whose ambition is to make it as a thrash guitarist, and in stark contrast, Anna, the obsessively tidy mother figure, whose greatest dream is to be Head Prefect.
Wind-up merchant Elliot is the prankster of the family and youngest member he also is the most orange of the group his real name is Jack Mcginn and is ginger but plays a very important role. Debs may be the baby but she is the wisest. She hasn’t spoken since their mother died but seems totally happy. In place of speech she expresses her feelings through drawing, and she is a compulsive knitter
