Charlie Brooker, the writer and executive producer of Cunk on Earth joins star Diane Morgan and series producer Sam Ward at the BFI Southbank to introduce their show. In this deeply profound and important mockumentary series from Charlie Brooker, Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) tells the entire story of Human Civilisation from prehistoric times to the present day, covering all the main bits of history, science, culture and religion. Along the way, Philomena asks experts hard-hitting questions about humanity’s progress, and stands on or near impressive old ruins and inside museums, before the shot cuts away to some archive of the bits that don’t exist anymore or were too expensive to film at. This really is the last documentary you will ever need to watch.
