It was ice age! That’s immediately what I thought when they brought up cave paintings. And the scene is surprisingly emotional too 😂

2025-10-30 00:35:50 +0000 UTCIrving Finkel is wonderful. Some of his talks are on youtube. He really knows his subject and approaches it with humour and humility. A great man.

2025-10-20 01:10:48 +0000 UTCI nearly spat out my tea when I saw Jess dresses as Cunk... Hilarious!

2025-10-17 21:35:02 +0000 UTCIrving Finkel is an absolute treasure. I remember watching him teach Tom Scott how to write cuneiform using some clay and a lolly pop stick.

2025-10-16 11:28:08 +0000 UTCPhilomena started on a Charlie Brooker show, screen wipe, as someone commenting on things along with a guy called Barry Shitpeas (he never gained the same popularity)

2025-10-16 11:21:03 +0000 UTCI definitely recommend his lectures too. Who knew learning about Cuniform would be so entertaining!

2025-10-15 23:28:57 +0000 UTCExcellent Cunk costume Jess! You must be in the top 10 Cunk impersonators 😉. You guys should look up the word "abbacus" and then replay what Ms Cunk said btw... 🤣

2025-10-15 10:01:34 +0000 UTCYes nudity has always been a normal part of human life everywhere around the world since our origin. It is only in the past 100 years that nudity has become viewed as somehow unnatural and immoral. This closed minded modern perspective on the natural body stems from Judaic indoctrination in the western world mainly the US and UK. Nudity has always been viewed as “indecent” and “evil” by the Judeo-christian elite who, in places of great power in western society, injected their unenlightened religious bs into every aspect of western society they could possibly try. Which is why a lot of good people like yourselves have this close mindedness towards the idea of living with our clothes off as we were intended to.

2025-10-15 07:05:21 +0000 UTCThe Greek word "gymnos" means "naked." Gymnastics literally means "the art of exercising naked." The "gymnasion" was where the ancient Greeks trained for sports, (again, in the nude). The English/Latinised version is obviously "gymnasium." The prefix "gymn" means "naked."

2025-10-15 03:26:02 +0000 UTCDr Irving Finkel has some lectures available on Youtube. He is very, very entertaining- well worth a watch!

2025-10-14 22:57:57 +0000 UTCCunk sounds like a kid because, as far as I know, that's what the people being interviewed were told. They were told to act and respond as if talking to a child.

2025-10-14 22:11:34 +0000 UTCI came here for Cunk and stayed for Cunk-Jess

2025-10-14 21:20:58 +0000 UTCMike, if you want the full Cunk talking all things USA compilation from this series I've messaged you a Dropbox link. It's in good quality with no choppy edits.

2025-10-14 20:27:29 +0000 UTC"I was ready for it, I just wasn't expecting it" about ahem, y'know, is *the* line of this reaction.

2025-10-14 20:21:04 +0000 UTCWhy is Cunk reacting to Cunk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2025-10-14 19:58:26 +0000 UTCJessomena Cunk, as I live and breathe!

2025-10-14 17:41:02 +0000 UTCDespite being mostly into metal and punk, I have long been an admirer of the song 'Pump Up The Jam' by Technotronic, so I am very enthused for this series.

2025-10-14 16:58:05 +0000 UTCJess, nice you brought out your bestest coat and dyed your hair ginger, or is that a 'syrup'.

2025-10-14 16:29:21 +0000 UTCYESSS! Absolutely love the outfit Jess :D
Adam
2025-10-14 16:27:40 +0000 UTCYep no. 2 in the UK charts in 1989 and a worldwide hit. The female in the video is not the actual vocalist like a lot of techno/hip-hop/dance tracks.

2025-10-14 16:27:37 +0000 UTCOMG - Diane Morgan is my perfect woman. No shit taken, all shit given, gorgeous, red haired and an absolute fucking diamond!

2025-10-14 16:18:09 +0000 UTCI recognised that shot where she showed the pile of coins. Ashmolian Museum in Oxford: I was there a couple of weeks ago.

2025-10-14 14:52:07 +0000 UTCJess - I think it was in Ice Age, the moving cave paintings. Red hair and a fringe suits you so much 😍

2025-10-14 14:39:14 +0000 UTCLoving the cosplay, Jess!😄
Chris Clarke
2025-10-14 14:35:26 +0000 UTCSmack Bang Wallop! What a reaction.

2025-10-14 12:33:16 +0000 UTCWhen i heard dat techno song on this show for the first time, i literally thought it was made up for the program! Like a parody

2025-10-14 12:08:39 +0000 UTCOh my god, Jess, That was like a flashbang, I thought you were Cunk for a second, nice work
James Welsh
2025-10-14 12:02:28 +0000 UTCIrvine Finkel is an absolute legend. Check his vids. Well worth it.
Jason
2025-10-14 11:33:12 +0000 UTCGreat episode, I love seeing Cunk set herself up for heartbreak. Jess's wardrobe skills never cease to amaze! There's a great video of Irving Finkel playing 'Ur' the oldest board game with Tom Scott.

2025-10-14 10:19:36 +0000 UTCJess's outfit looks great. Before mike mentioned the little gap in the middle it was a little like Jen from IT Crowd too. 😂

2025-10-14 10:17:48 +0000 UTCJess you look awesome. You really go above and beyond for your reactions. Mike you madame choke on my coffee at the end there 🤣

2025-10-14 10:12:59 +0000 UTCHats off to Jess's cosplay - that's some next level commitment!
Tim
2025-10-14 09:44:50 +0000 UTCI looked into how her expert interviews were filmed. Apparently they weren't told it was a comedy documentary, they were just told to expect / answer questions as if they were asked by a 5 year old and to enjoy themselves and that was it

Julian
2025-10-14 08:17:02 +0000 UTCWeirdly chariot races were way more popular in the Roman Empire but it’s the gladiators that get the most attention now. That’s what ‘bread and circuses’ refers to - the original meaning of circus is a chariot race track
Kieran B
2025-10-14 08:03:44 +0000 UTCIrving Finkel with the massive beard is brilliant, he has a great sense of humour - definitely check out his videos on YouTube
Kieran B
2025-10-14 07:48:20 +0000 UTCI don’t think they’ve been reshaded, the conditions and darkness in the cave likely preserved them
Kieran B
2025-10-14 07:45:17 +0000 UTCThe cosplay is so on point hahaha
Ross Williams
2025-10-14 07:25:20 +0000 UTCWe need to find out what her mate Paul wears, then Mike can join in.
Emma Edwards
2025-10-14 07:05:50 +0000 UTCI remember watching an interview with Diane Morgan. She was asked who her favourite expert was that she had interviewed. She said Irving Finkel ❤️
