Cunk On Earth review

In this history of human civilisation, there's a delightful cleverness about some of her idiocies. She described Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs as the earliest emojis and pointed out how incompetent humans have become, thanks to evolution.

Cunk On Earth review

In the past couple of weeks, there has been no shortage of serious people on television screens, speaking with solemnity and great authority about any number of 'facts' they cannot possibly know - hoping their confidence will hide the ignorance behind their conjecture. So the scene is set for the return of the quintessential idiot with an undeserved platform, Philomena Cunk.
