Welcome to the internet! So, you've found YouTube and finally can't watch anymore cat videos, but where to go from here? Although the YouTube algorithm is pretty advanced, it still constantly recommends crap. That's why I'm listing some of my favourite channels on YouTube right here. I'll be adding more channels to the list as and when I find them. If you know any I've missed, then leave a comment down below.
They're in alphabetical order, and so far covers A - H but I'll constantly be adding more to the list. I'm also probably going to add my personal favourite video from each channel. Watch this space!

Barshens
A weekly 'entertainment' show (used in the loosest of words) with new videos every Friday, hosted by Stuart Ashen (Ashens) & Barry Lewis (MyVirginKitchen). A tongue in cheek entertainment show with elements of nostalgia, taste testing, and well, anything you want really!
