Also in 2018, Morgan wrote Cunk on Everything: The Encyclopedia Philomena, published by Two Roads on 1 November.

It premiered in the United Kingdom on BBC Two on 19 September 2022, and was released in the United States on Netflix on 31 January 2023.My husband handed me this when it came in the post Friday - which I guess was the day it came out seen as there are no ratings or reviews yet! Philomena does a marvellous job of narrating and I’d definitely recommend the book if you’d enjoy some humour in your life. Morgan lives in the Bloomsbury district of London with her boyfriend, BBC comedy producer Ben Caudell. Malapropisms litter the text Age of Shivery for Chivalry; Marriage of Fig Roll for Figaro; Bionic Plague for bubonic plague; sellington for skeleton; and operating cistern for system they do get a quite a bore eventually. Outrageous statement like this are not funny, just laboured attempts at humour The only people who bury stuff these days, rally, are dogs.

This book is really good if you never finished school, or didn't go to school, or don't even know what a school is.Cunk explaining how we know so much about the Battle of Hastings: "We’ve got an accurate visual record of the whole thing thanks to a quick-thinking bystander, who took a tapestry of it.

If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time. They say really outrageous things, like they’re drunk, but without the bit the next day where they’ve got a headache and try to take it all back. But if they’re wrong and climate change is happening, we face the nightmare scenario that our children may never see a rainbow. Zany and witty throughout but what separates it from many other parody books is just how accurate the social commentary is, without ever coming across as preachy or forced. Philomena also has great word play, not just misspellings but using the wrong words in an innocent manner.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. But it's in the nature of a book that the person reading it will keep turning pages, so in being read, Cunk on Everything undoes its own pleasures. The cunk style in this encyclopedia isnt even consistent - somethings extremely detailed and somewhat accurate, other things just wildly absurd spellings and ignorance about fundamental aspects. Je to taká encyklopédia, v ktorej sú rôzne heslá v abecednom poradí - napríklad klimatická kríza, pravda či William Shakespeare.
