Charlie Brooker and Diane Morgan on Cunk on Earth | BFI Q&A

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.

I discovered Cunk on my computer about a couple years ago. I consumed it copiously and with almost desperation. When I finished all that was done up until then I was so sad because I thought that was it for Philomena. Then I found Cunk on earth today and can't wait for there to be more, if your energies allow for you guys to issue more Cunk.
I'm a Mexican who lived in Cancún for 14 years and can say that what you said about Tulum on its episode is as much as you can while still presenting it under a graceful light.
Big, big fan, you've lifted me up with therapeutic laughter each time. THANKS!!!!
