Philomena Cunk's 10 funniest moments
Philomena Cunk is back on television, effing the ineffable as she ponders the great questions. Questions such as "What is clocks?", "Who was Churchill?" and "Why did Elizabeth I happen?"
Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 11th April 2018The blissfully stupid Philomena Cunk explores Tudors, Georgians and the civil war, covering everyone from Henry VIII and his "chronic wife addiction" to Will.i.am Shakespeare and Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins: "His method was foolproof, which was handy, because it had to be done by village idiots."
