Cunk on Britain
I stumbled upon this series of 5 episodes exploring the history of Britain with a humorous slant. The approach is basically to subvert the codes of TV history documentaries by combining crass ignorance with genuine curiosity. Diane Morgan (as Philomena Cunk) is absolutely amazing asking the stupidest question to experts and watching them struggle to "keep the take" in the face of utter ignorance. There's a bit of cringe involved, but it's just the right level for me. I laughed out loud, and found it utterly enjoyable. Recommended!
