The other night I was watching ‘The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes’, a 1970s movie starring Robert Stephens in the titular role. In one scene the cerebral duo attend an opera ‘after party’, in which a band can be seen playing, what I took to be, ukuleles. One of which looks extremely uncomfortable to play.

Apart from the obvious movies (GF movies and the like) in which other films and tv programmes have you spotted a uke?
