- TriviaAll the interviewees were briefed that Philomena Cunk was a comedy parody character, and they were told to treat her like an ignorant child. They were also instructed to take the questions as seriously as possible, be respectful, and not make their own jokes. Some of the experts actually cracked up during the interview, but most of these parts have been edited out.

Featured review
As a mockumentary series about human civilization, it's very funny, even if it's quite one-note. It reminds me "Idiot Abroad" for some reason very much.
Using humor quite similar to "Borat" movies, it tells condensed version of human history and main laugh is putting various experts into uncomfortable situation where they have to answer stupid questions about history.
Diane Morgan is very good, too, multiplying comedy with her facial expressions and always having something surprising ready around the corner.
I quite enjoyed it, although given how little average people actually know or have interest in humanity's tale, it's a bit cringey to reduce much-needed education to such a circus.
The comedy method this show did can be highly hit or miss, and for most episodes, they did hit. So worth a watch.
