Cunk On.... Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan)
Philomena Cunk's epic journey through human civilisation begins as she discovers our earliest achievements (the wheel and so on).

Further details

Philomena Cunk travels the world, heading down caves and up mountains in her search for Mankind's first moments, and with the help of a variety of experts she explains how the earliest societies were formed: from the easier ones to spell like Rome and Greece, to the ones that are harder to spell, like Egypt and Mesopotamia.
