Philomena Cunk returns to BBC Two (and iPlayer) with brand new series Cunk On Cinema

Philomena Cunk is asking experts all of the hard-hitting questions about the history of cinema as Diane Morgan and Charlie Brooker reunite.

What do we know about Cunk on Cinema

From the press release, we learn the faux documentary is examining the world’s love affair with movies. Made by Pacesetter Productions, Philomena Cunk’s latest landmark mockumentary series sees the long-awaited return of the pioneering documentary-maker on her most glamorous series to date.

Production started on the 3×30’series this week and along the way, Philomena (Diane Morgan) will be asking experts all of the hard-hitting questions about the history of cinema, from the invention of the camera, to the New Wave filmmakers of the 60s, right up to entrance of CGI and what the future of AI holds. Cunk will attempt to demystify it all while sitting in lumpy seats with stale popcorn, asking herself where did cinema come from? And why? What does it want? And why can’t it tell us?

Philomena Cunk said:

“Cinema has given the world some of the most profound, memorable and moving visual moments in its unswerving depiction of the human condition: the shower scene in Psycho, Death playing chess in that Swedish thing, and Tom Selleck’s glistening moustache in Three Men And A Little Lady, to name but all three of the only examples I can think of at the moment. There will, unfortunately, be some bits in black and white, but we’ll keep that to the barest minimum.”

We’ll bring more news as we get it. For fans of Philomena Cunk, this looks another must watch series.
