Uncle Jack

Uncle Jack was a children's TV show which aired on BBC1 in the early 1990s. The plot centres around Jack Green, an environmentalist and undercover agent for MI5, who with his family are on a mission to save the planet. Jack's archenemy was a criminal known only as "the Vixen" who would come up with diabolical schemes to rule the world. Cast Jack Green (Paul Jones) – A keen environmentalist and a brilliant undercover agent for MI5. His curiosity and strange methods of work sometimes get him into trouble. The Vixen (Fenella Fielding) – Jack's archenemy, a notorious international crook whose sole purpose is to rule the world and steal wealth for herself. Kate Stevens (Sarah Lambert) – Jack's niece and Michael's younger sister who admires her uncle's work. Michael Stevens (Giuseppe Peluso) – Jack's nephew and Kate's elder brother who considers his uncle embarrassing at first but eventually warmed up to him. Elizabeth Stevens (Christine Lohr) – Jack's sister and Kate and Michael's mother who loves her brother, but sometimes finds him embarrassing and doesn't always like his methods of work getting the family into trouble. Edward Stevens (Brian Capron) – Elizabeth's husband and Kate and Michael's father. He is a bit more tolerant towards Jack's strange methods of work. Cynthia Birdwood (Vivian Pickles) – Jack's friend and a very clever but eccentric scientist who helps him on his missions. Dorothy Evans/Greckle (Tricia George) – The brilliant but sometimes dimwitted agent 7 of MI5. M (Roger Hammond) – The strong but narrow minded head of MI5. Jose Cuervo (Jimmi Harkishin) – A villain who often hires the Vixen for her criminal services. Helen Brimley (Catherine Bailey) – Another of Jack's nieces who accompanies him on a dig to Egypt. (This was Bailey's screen debut. Also, despite IMDB listing her character's surname as Green, it clearly states in the programme her surname is Brimley).
