The Return of Cunk: Part 2

Last week, I wrote about the wonderfully funny Cunk on... fake-documentaries that Diane Morgan stars in as 'Philomena Cunk' on the BBC. And I posted the first two, 30-minute episodes of the Cunk on Britain series. (If you missed the article, you can find it and the videos here.)

These are the next two episodes. I'm unable to embed them -- due to age restrictions -- but you can watch them on YouTube by following the links.

This is Episode 3 here.

And Episode 4 is here.

We'll have the finale next week.

Media Alert

Tomorrow, Sunday, the National Theatre at Home YouTube page is streaming a special "Legends of the stage" which they are presenting for free.

It's a conversation on stage between Judi Dench and Ian McKellen, hosted by actor Jim Carter (who I suspect people will recognize from his many film and TV production, but mostly from Downton Abbey as 'Mr. Carson'). People will recognize Judi Dench and Ian McKellen from...well, from being Judi Dench and Ian McKellen.

Though it premiers on Sunday, October 18, the National Theatre at Home information says that after its initial streaming, "it will remain on the platform to watch whenever you like." 

It is scheduled to begin on Sunday at noon, Los Angeles time. Depending on where you are, adjust your timepiece accordingly. (That's 8 PM, BST.)

Here is the trailer.
