Love Philomena ❤️
Haha, what is this? A show?
Yes, a really great one (there are two series)

This is great, thank you
😊
Philomena Cunk actually started as a "man-on-the-street" interview segment on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe. She was often shown alongside Barry Shitpeas (whom I miss dearly). Philomena's character was quite popular however, and Brooker has written many spin-off shows featuring her, with titles styled like "Cunk on..." such as Cunk on Britain and Cunk on Earth.
If you recognize the name Charlie Brooker, it's more likely you recognize it from his show Black Mirror. I honestly quite like his comedy much better and think A Touch of Cloth is wildly underrated.
Oh man I am definitely going to dive into all of this, thank you so much for the context and recommendations
Hehe, "shitpeas" is what they serve at your local chippy alongside fish and chips.
Cunk on Earth. It's on Netflix. I highly recommend it.
I'm sold already, I'm planning to watch it right after work
Word of warning: there's only six episodes, so if you watch it all right now you'll have to settle for a rewatch tomorrow.
Oh my god I'm almost crying on the first episode of cunk on Britain
Good to know, taken into consideration. Thank you very much
Mockumentary called Cunk on Earth.
So funny, thanks
