In this, the final episode of her epic journey across history, Cunk takes us from 1945 to the present day (which at the time of writing is Tuesday). Cunk travels the world and meets top experts to examine the Cold War, the Space Race, Globalisation and Social Media. Our recent history is one of polarisation and division as humanity divided itself down the middle – Communism vs Capitalism, Apple vs Microsoft, Beatles vs Stones. Are we doomed to repeat the mistakes of history? Cunk will do her best to find out, on your behalf.
