Cunk on Life

This one off special sees Philomena tackle some of the most complex concepts to have ever been discovered, including Quantum Physics, Existentialism, Nihilism, Hedonism - and at least four other isms - as well as exploring subjects from the big bang to biology, morals to meditation and art to artificial intelligence. In her search for answers, she'll also examine some of history's foremost thinkers and ground-breaking creatives, from Dostoyevsky to Van Gogh, from Nietzsche to whoever came up with those signs in kitchens that say, 'Live Laugh Love'. Along the way, she'll be meeting leading experts and academics and not letting them leave until she's got to the bottom of such questions as: what is life, why are we bothering to find out and when's lunch.
