Cunk On Earth (Netflix)
Follows Philomena Cunk as she comically tells the story
of our greatest inventions and asks experts hard hitting
questions about humanity's progress. Cunk on Earth
featuring Diane Morgan is streaming with a
subscription on Netflix. The deadpanned delivery, and
the almost naive earnestness with which the questions
are delivered to the experts is absolutely genius and
hilarious. The experts are probably the stars of this
series, vacillating between near hysteria to
incredulity.
