Welcome back to Geektown Radio, and Happy New Year! We return from our holidays with the gift of a new podcast, and an interview with the Creators/Writers/Directors of BBC's wonderful comedy Uncle, Oli Refson and Lilah Vandenburgh. Uncle is back for a 3rd and final season on BBC3 & BBC1, so we got a chance to catch up with Oli & Lilah one again for a chat about the new series. As long time listeners will remember, we've interviewed Oli & Lilah a few times before, both for Uncle, and Lilah on her own when she co-wrote an episode of The Flash last season. This time around, we talk about where we find Andy (Nick Helm) & Errol (Elliot Speller-Gillott) this season, how it feels ending Uncle, and what comes next for the writing/directing duo. You can get the first 2 seasons of Uncle as box sets on iPlayer, and the 3rd season is airing Sundays on BBC3/iPlayer, and on BBC1 Fridays after Graham Norton.
