A brilliant mockumentary-style show asking stupid questions to oblivious and patronizing talking heads, "Cunk on Life" has never been funnier or more necessary. For this 75 minute special, Diane Morgan/Cunk takes herself to the USA and elsewhere to uncover the meaning of life.
Here's how to watch "Cunk on Life" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
"Cunk on Life" airs on Monday, December 30 on BBC Two at 9 p.m. GMT (4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT).
• WATCH FREE — BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• U.S. / Global — Netflix (from Jan. 2, 2025)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
Setting herself the small task of discovering the meaning of life itself, Cunk will walk in slow motion through majestic scenery whilst pondering quantum physics and existentialism, the big bang and artificial intelligence, and everything from "pointless ants to long-necked horse-monsters".
After all, her aunt Carol wants to know what the point of it all might be and, even though Cunk couldn't care less, you might be interested. Prepare to be entertained and stay unenlightened. It's that kind of programme.
