Awful Trailer

Anno I watched a bit of it without having seen a trailer - just out of curiosity due to the funny title. It is absolutely dreadful. I can't think why anyone would have commissioned it. Awful.

I love Philomena Cunk. She was part of Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe and has had many "Cunk on...." programmes. It is a spoof documentary with real experts....I don't know how they keep a straight face.
There are a lot of programmes advertised on TV that I don't like.....I guess the world would be very boring if we all liked the same thing.

Pittcity I like it too ?

I understand that the experts are unaware that Philomena Cunk is a spoof, similar idea to Ali G. Not sure that I think that is altogether fair!

Yes midgey, but a lot of them have seen the show and so it doesn't surprise all the time any more.

I think the programme's very funny. I never see trailers because we always fast forward through the adverts these days. I find it hard to believe the experts aren't in on the joke, though.

Of course, Pittcity. If I were due to be interviewed by Philomena Cunk, I wouldn't expect that it was for a serious documentary!

I saw the trailer and felt just the same as you anno.

www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-04-10/cunk-on-britain-philomena-cunk-diane-morgan/ explains a bit more.

Judging by the opinions offered, following my OP, it seems that the trailer is doing the programme itself no favours. Could it be that spoofs are becoming out-dated, after the success of Mrs Merton, Ali G, Alan Partridge et al?

I watched Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk for the first time recently and was laughing aloud. I haven't seen the trailer though.

I did quite like it when I first saw it, but the novelty has worn off now.
