Status: Partially Found
Uncle Max is a British live-action comedy series created and starring actor David Schneider as the titular bumbling uncle. Produced by Little Bird Pictures, the show is a silent comedy similar to Mr. Bean, with the premise of Max meeting his nephew Luke and turning an ordinary day out into an exciting adventure.[1] The show originally aired on CITV in 2006, the show received a second series in 2008 and switched channel networks to CBBC.
The second series for Uncle Max follows the same formula as Series 1, only for actor Jonathan Hanly to take over the role of Luke, and the filming locations now take place in Ireland instead of South Africa.[2]
Availability
While the first series is available on DVD via two volumes, its second series did not see a release and remained a piece of lost media. Its screener trailer as well as its Nick India promo exists online, containing a selection of clips from Series 2. In addition, a low-quality screen recording of "Uncle Max Plays the Piano" also made its way onto YouTube.
