Follows Philomena Cunk as she comically tells the story of our greatest inventions and asks experts hard-hitting questions about humanity's progress.

Along the way, she asks experts hard-hitting questions about humanity's progress, as well as standing near impressive old ruins or inside museums.

Philomena Cunk presents a series on the planet we live on, its history and problems. Through interviews with academics and other experts we hopefully get to know more about our planet. Problem is, she doesn't have a clue about what she's talking about.—grantss
