## Summary

Diane Morgan returns as Philomena Cunk in a six-part mockumentary series about the history of cinema. The programme examines film from the invention of the camera through 1960s New Wave cinema and CGI to the future of artificial intelligence, using Cunk’s deadpan, ill-informed questions to satirise documentary conventions.

Each episode runs for 15 minutes, with the series arriving on BBC iPlayer and BBC Two in the UK and Ireland, and on Netflix elsewhere, on 15 November. Cunk interviews 23 experts, including Michael Bay, Benedict Cumberbatch and Mark Kermode; Jim Al-Khalili and Ashley Jackson also return from earlier Cunk documentaries. The series was created by Morgan and Charlie Brooker and directed by Al Campbell.
