Cunk On...

Philomena tackles some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including quantum physics, existentialism, nihilism, hedonism - and at least four other isms - as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence.

Following the global success of Cunk On Earth, pioneering documentary-maker Philomena Cunk returns with her most ambitious quest to date; venturing right up the universe and everything, to examine life itself.

"What's the point of it all?" is a question humans have been asking themselves since the dawn of time. But as we cling to our dying planet, working round the clock while we're slowly being replaced by machines, now more than ever, people are desperately looking to make sense of their lives - before someone invents a computer that makes sense of it for them.

Philomena tackles some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including quantum physics, existentialism, nihilism, hedonism - and at least four other isms - as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence.

In her search for answers, she also examines some of history's foremost thinkers and ground-breaking creatives, from Dostoyevsky to Van Gogh, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs in kitchens that say, 'Live Laugh Love'.

Along the way, she meets leading experts and academics and doesn't let them leave until she's got to the bottom of such questions as: 'what is life?, 'why are we bothering to find out?' and 'when's lunch?'.
