Avis en vedette
I love Cunk. I've seen all of her shows to date and love them all. I was so excited for the new one and put it on without a moment's hesitation.
And then... Just underwhelmed all the way. Jokes felt flat and repetitive. The experts are repeats and are clearly in on the joke by now that their reactions just don't feel sincere.
I'm not sure what's gone wrong behind the scenes, but the formula that worked so well, and was borrowed heavily from the Borat/Ali G playbook, didn't work here. Maybe it's me, maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe the ideas tank is dry and they're treading the same ground without anything new or fun left to do. Probably a bit of both.
It's a shame. I hope they can find their spark again. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy what was.

Ok can we talk about how amazing the professor from the Munch scene (Richard Thomson from University of Edinburgh) is though, he managed to keep the conversation going and almost communicated with Cunk successfully while holding respectful boundaries. You can tell he has such passion about art that he's more shocked even a bit hurt than offended by her opinions. Enjoyed this special because I'm a fan of the series, a bit overdone otherwise with the trying to be trendy parts and self-reference but still pretty funny, right now I want more of this series but also don't want more of this series. Required characters limit finally met so I can post!
Absolutely hilarious and actually very informative mockumentary.
Diane Morgan is a genius comedian and I love everything she does.
This show talks about Adam and Eve ,birth, reproduction,God and life on earth.
I was thinking, Diane should do more stuff, like dark comedy shows ,or comedy thriller series ,maybe something like" Bad Sisters",or "Dead to Me".
She's just so talented!!!
But until that will become a reality, (Wishful thinking) I will watch Cunk on life/Britain /Earth a few times a year, just to bring me joy and laughter ,as well as Mandy series which I hope the new season will come next year .
BBC has got of good stuff on it's iPlayer,but some shows like "Cunk on"are a gem.

I noticed that some reviewers didn't like the jokes, but I laughed from beginning to end.
The reason this works for me is that she is dead serious when she asks the questions and the interviewees answer the questions without laughing.
I love all of her stuff. It's a shame that this got lower marks because I want her to keep on making these series.
I also find it exceedingly annoying that we have to type so many characters to leave a review.
I have nothing left to add to my review. Just came here to say that I found it hilarious and worth the watch despite some of the lower reviews. I'm not a someone who laughs at just anything. The bar is higher with me. So give it a try.

Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) is discussing Life, the Universe and Everything with her many guests in a wide ranging conversation. The first twenty minutes is really Cunk on Religion. It can come off as Cunk making fun of religion. That part depends on the audience. The comedy is a bit scattered. The issue is that some of the experts are catching on to the premise and they're not all playing it correctly. On the other hand, Brian Cox is going full grouch and that is hilarious. Pump Up the Jam is fun in the Monty Python way. There is a chance that Cunk is getting diminishing returns. We'll see.
