Cunk On Earth, Episode 4 - Rise Of The Machines

Cunk On.... Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan)
Cunk sees how science and industry ushered in an age of convenience but also threatened all life on earth. So swings and roundabouts really.

Further details

Cunk continues her ambitious march across the face of mankind into an age of industry and science.

With the help of historians, and a science-historian, she explains the scientific breakthroughs of Marie Curie and Albert Einstein. She demonstrates the inventions that changed the world, and covers how the US Civil War, World War I and World War II taught humanity how to use its new grasp of technology to shoot, blow up and irradiate itself in huge numbers.
