Top TV Picks: New Year's Day

Uncle

BBC iPlayer, From 10am 

BBC Three’s award-winning Uncle is back for the final part of the trilogy.

It’s been four years since man-child Andy (Nick Helm) forged an unlikely alliance with nephew Errol (Elliot Speller-Gillott). Through two series the pair have been kept apart, seen each other through heartbreak and triumphed together. 

When we re-join them for series three, it’s eighteen months since Andy found out that he was going to be a dad and the baby he’s never met is haunting his nightmares.
