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

Cunk concludes her profound and accurate history of humanity, bringing us up to the present day - which at the time of writing is Tuesday.

In this opening episode Cunk travels the world, heading down caves and up mountains in her search for Mankind’s first moments, and with the help of a variety of experts she explains how the earliest societies were formed: from the easier ones to spell like Rome and Greece, to the ones that are harder to spell, like Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Philomena's odyssey takes her from King Henry VIII to Lord Horatio Nelson.

Philomena examines the Victorians and is joined by Chris Packham who tries to shed some light on Darwin's discoveries.

In the final episode, Cunk has made it to the 21st century and Brexit.
