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.

Famous quotes containing the words uncle and/or dad:
“Aunt Sally she was one of the mixed-upest looking persons I ever see; except one, and that was uncle Silas, when he come in, and they told it all to him. It kind of made him drunk, as you may say, and he didn’t know nothing at all the rest of the day, and preached a prayer meeting sermon that night that give him a rattling ruputation, because the oldest man in the world couldn’t a understood it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“It takes a heap o’ children to make a home that’s true,
And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;
But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,
Why, that’s the sort of good old home for good old me and you.”
—Louis Untermeyer (1885–1977)
