Comedy series debuts January 31 on Netflix
This BBC-produced mockumentary series created by Black Mirror's Charlie Brooker centers on a character who has appeared in numerous Brooker projects (mostly in the UK) over the past decade: bombastic investigative journalist Philomena Cunk, played by Diane Morgan. Here, she examines the greatest inventions in human history "while standing near impressive old ruins, or inside museums." Guests include Lisa Kudrow, Kumail Nanjiani, Hugh Grant, and Tracey Ullman, though most of Cunk's interview subjects are real academics who may not be aware they are appearing on a comedy series (think Da Ali G Show and you won't be far off).
