Philomena Coon’s character, camped by the British comedian Diane MorganBack to the BBC and Netflix for this one Cook on Earth, a fictional documentary that lifts the curtain on the mysteries of human civilization to allow us to discover humanity’s greatest achievements. Only this.

This is not about dystopia and technology that will destroy us all. To refer to the more famous model on this side of the channel, Philomena Kunk looks a bit like the UK’s ‘Rafael Mezrah’. Diane Morgan reprises the role that made her famous in BBC2’s Cunk about Britain.

Exploring the codes of the BBC’s very serious documentaries, Philomena Cook sets out to meet some of the UK’s most beautiful minds: university professors, archaeologists, philosophers… and all of them serve as a game of interview, despite Philomena’s abstract questions. . This allows for some beautiful silences, time to think of the most appropriate and interesting answer to a completely stupid question.
From the creation of the universe to virtual reality, Cunk on Earth tells the story of our greatest inventions and creations, like the wheel, the Mona Lisa and nuclear power, with irresistible humor. A meeting you should not miss!
