Cunk on… Shakespeare
COMEDY BBC IPLAYER
The magnificent Cunk on Earth may have finished – it’s all available on iplayer – but if you’re missing the musings of the most incompetent (spoof) presenter/ historian on the BBC, here’s a chance to catch up with one of Diane Morgan’s alter ego Philomena Cunk’s other mockumentaries. ‘I’ve been studying Shakespeare ever since… I was asked to do this programme,’ begins Philomena, ‘and it turns out he was more than just a bald man who wrote with feathers.’ So begins her not-very comprehensive guide to the Bard, or as she calls it, Who Dost Thou Thinkest Thou Art? ★★★★ JP
