(all times CLT)
A satirical look at the history of human civilization: In the five-part mockumentary Cunk on Earth, Diane Morgan reprises her role as the perfectly clueless presenter Philomena Cunk, who asks hard hitting questions like: Which had a greater impact on society — the Renaissance or Beyoncé’s Single Ladies? Cunk obviously isn’t the brightest bulb in the box, but she does meet with top academics in her quest to learn about the history of civilization from the Stone Age to the present. Her journey takes her from the Pyramids of Giza to the Great Wall of China, where she wanders aimlessly, asking ridiculous, yet hilarious questions and drawing analogies based on debunked myths and cliches. The experts, on the other hand, provide insightful nuggets of information on the various historical periods covered. This show is perfect for history buffs looking for a good laugh.
