Diane Morgan stars as Philomena Cunk, who knows absolutely nothing about anything, but that does not stop her from attempting to present a ground-breaking documentary about it. Cunk examines the history of Great Britain in the five-part mockumentary series `Cunk on Britain', written by Charlie Brooker. Morgan's character is known from Charlie Brooker's wipe shows, and extends her display of knowledge from her Shakespeare and Christmas specials to bigger subjects, such as the Big Bang, Brexit, and Robert Peston.
