Uncle Podger is very messy and forgetful. He takes up a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders.But, at the end of the day,he messes it up always and after a long long time, he finally completes his promise.  he thinks he is the only one who knows everything but the truth is something else. he engages everyone in the house with one or the other thing n himself relaxes. the work that takes less than an hour when taken up by uncle podger takes a whole day n at the end at midnight would be done with everyone tired. His character resembles to Harris's.
