Diane Morgan hosts Cunk on Cinema series
Diane Morgan presents a new three-part film history documentary series called Cunk on Cinema.
Host introduces film topics
The programme begins with the host listing humanity achievements like growing the great wall of Chinese. She then lists discovering Mona Lisa and inventing global warming as major events. Morgan delivers these lines in her characteristic deadpan Bolton tones during the opening sequence. Viewers see her reeling off these items within the first twelve seconds of the broadcast.
Previous character origins
Audiences first met Philomena Cunk in 2012 on Charlie Brooker annual Screenwipe special. The character was billed as a computer typist or influential Tweetist at that time. Morgan later branched out into solo documentary making covering subjects like Britain and Earth. Her CV includes Motherland and Ricky Gervais After Life alongside her own BBC sitcoms.
Interviewee reactions vary
Benedict Cumberbatch appears irritated by pointless questions about whether all actors like chickpeas. Film critic Mark Kermode looks genuinely exasperated by Cunk's ludicrous misunderstandings during interviews. American filmmakers Michael Bay and Steven E de Souza remain straightforwardly baffled yet tolerant. Morgan uses ChatGPT to back up her categorically incorrect beliefs about technology.
