- TriviaAll the interviewees were briefed that Philomena Cunk was a comedy parody character, and they were told to treat her like an ignorant child. They were also instructed to take the questions as seriously as possible, be respectful, and not make their own jokes. Some of the experts actually cracked up during the interview, but most of these parts have been edited out.

Featured review
A look at human history through the eyes and by guided tour of the main character, Philomena Cunk. This irreverent and ambitious comedic docu-series is actually very funny. Diane Morgan, who plays the lead character with precision and acuity, is channelling Sasha Baron Cohen's, Ali G, as she interviews real historical scholars and puts on her best game face. Many of these scenes are actually painful and cringeworthy, in the Ali G style, and very funny. I do like the fact that Cunk does actually use real history and scenic, historic places to tell the story. I love how the scholars, who take themselves very seriously, are trying to figure out what is going on and still get their points across in an intelligible fashion. I have to imagine there was a ton of footage that is unusable due to people marching off and refusing permission to use the clips. Worth watching. Very digestible in the 30 minute segments.
