Which YouTube Channel?

[The Mad Monk]

What are the good YouTube channels to watch?

Not necessarily motoring.

High Peak Autos? Well, I have got a bit fed up with the 'look at me' ness of it.
Harry's Garage? Yes, a bit tired of the devotion to LandRovers, but hey ho.
Harry's Farm. Yes, I do enjoy that.
James Whitmore Garage. Is it all AI? You need the patience of a saint to wade through it.
Cruising The Cut. Canal stuff. Normally very watchable. There is a certain innocence (naivety?) about the presenter.
Jago Hazzard. It's about trains. I find it very watchable.
Geoff Marshall. Trains. His enthusiasm can be tiring.
Brooke Tierney. Things you didn't know you could do with an iPhone.
Blue chip Leasing. Perhaps my favourite. Very short. Amateurish. I enjoy them.

Any suggestions?

I watch Marques Brownlee quite a bit - he's a tech reviewer. Most of the stuff I have little interest in, but he's a very good presenter and I've just become very used to him.

Rick Beato - a hugely knowledgeable musician who hosts interviews with musicians. His musical knowledge and technical abilities are light years ahead of mine, but, once again, I've watched him for so many years I've become used to him.

And then a smattering of cars, watches, archeology.

Mark Felton for WW2 history and conflict history, Kinzler Bros if you like a skilled man restoring guns,

His interviews (with some pretty famous people) are very good and relaxed

Ryan Michell - think he started off streaming Minecraft. But now he videos himself climbing mountains.

The Old Station Renovation
A family restoring an old 1800's railway station, over three years.

All the pitfalls & setbacks
Lots of exposing the platforms & clearing overgrown foliage.
Lots of knocking things down & renovating.
Two excitable dogs.

Over 100 blogs... but each one isn't too long.
Easy going & quite engrossing.

NB: I've caught this very late in the renovation...so back to watch it from the beginning.
(The dogs will probably be pups... if they have been born)

I thought this was an Alan Partridge series when I watched a few episodes

Stumbled onto his channel last year and enjoyed the MR2 content. Really enjoying the M3 content this year.

Every time this topic crops up I mention LR Time.

A German engineer and his wife bicker cheerfully while rebuilding LR Discoverys. Occasional camping trips, sometimes some BMX biking, New episodes every Sunday morning, ideal breakfast time light entertainment.

If you like travel, Steve Marsh is very good, pretty down to earth and does interesting, more remote destinations, often around Scotland.

I am subbed to many many channels but one i always enjoy lately is M Bjoenstroem.

Swedish guy that does a bit of everything. Build a massive workshop, work at an airport, fix a digger, dig a new well, repair roads..

Calm, no 10 min sponsor sections, nice cinematography, no BS , no shouting, no stupid faces.


If you like it there's also an American that does similar - Andrew Camarata. Highlights include a metal shipping container-castle-house.

I used to watch videos of people clearing storm water drains.

Sometimes in far Eastern roads, a man scratching around with a small hand rake removing the leaves and sheets of plastic blocking the drain.

Or in the American outback, a creek has become blocked by a fallen tree, or similar.

All very satisfying to watch when the blockage finally clears.

The Aussie guy who clears blocked pipes is quite satisfying.
