Celebrating the world's most characterful cars via video. Bio Best known for founding evo magazine with a group of talented motoring journalists back in 1998 which, much to our surprise, went on to become a global player in the automotive media arena. Also wrote stuff for Octane Magazine and Sunday Times. Left evo in September 2013 and became an outside advisor to Jaguar Land Rover 2013-18, helping JLR set up Special Operations. Hooked on cars from an early age, although my first love was motorbikes, the first one arriving when I was 11. Swapped to 4-wheels when I turned 17 and have been lucky enough to have owned or driven almost every interesting car ever made. This YouTube channel is my way of sharing this passion for all things motoring with an equally passionate audience.

We're Lydia and James and we love diving into the world of The Simpsons - celebrating the show in all the ways we can. This is through kill-counts, theories, straightening out character-timelines and convincing you not to sleep on characters simply because they're not in the big family of five. We also love chatting to Simpsons creators' such as writers, illustrators, animators and showrunners to learn more about the processes that go towards making an episode of The Simpsons, the comics, Universal's Springfield and even the real Simpsons house - inserting anything we learn from real-life interviews into our videos! So grab a glass of Flaming Moe as we take you through who really shot Mr Burns, Hans Moleman's secret immortality, the histories of Springfield as well as those pesky, pesky Simpsons conspiracies. We are also proud authors of The Simpsons Secret: A Cromulent Guide To How The Simpsons Predicted Everything - written by fans, for fans.

Tom Pemberton runs a working livestock farm and films the whole year of it, births, feed and bad days included. The fewest views per video on the page.

What the data says about the selected 25

The channel with the most subscribers, BlackBeltBarrister at 959,000, sits twenty-first, because its videos average about a tenth of that. highkeyoli leads from 854,000, with views close to the subscriber count, so on YouTube the views tile is the one to budget against, not the subscriber count.

The page splits into four groups: ten comedy, gaming and commentary channels; seven hands-on channels, from cleaning and DIY to landscaping, farming and fish keeping; five car and Formula 1 channels, two of them run by motoring journalists; and two football channels, plus a barrister who explains the law, so choose the group before the channel.

Click Analytic's UK YouTube measurement puts median engagement at about 3.5% for channels of this size. The median channel here engages at 1.2 times that, Flawless Cleaning Services at 2.7 times and The DIY Guy at 0.6 times, with eight of the 25 below the market, so engagement on this page is ordinary and views per video carry the ranking.

Our verdict

This shortlist is a starting point for briefing UK YouTube creators, not a finished shortlist on its own. Views decide the order, and they do not follow subscribers: BlackBeltBarrister has the most subscribers here but sits twenty-first by views.

Check the audience before a UK-only launch: the median UK share is 38%, and Stevie Knows, BlackBeltBarrister and Mkfray are the only channels above 70%. Beyond these 25, Click Analytic tracks 245,634 UK-based YouTube channels between 1K and 1M subscribers, searchable by views, engagement and audience in the full database.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Six questions on how the UK YouTube list was built and how to read it.

01How were these 25 UK YouTubers selected?

We filtered 245,634 UK-based YouTube channels between 1K and 1M subscribers for at least 20% of the audience in the UK, engagement of 2% or more, average views of 10,000 or more and a post in the last 30 days. The 25 with the highest average views are on this page.

02Why is the channel with the most subscribers not first?

The order is average views per video, not subscribers. BlackBeltBarrister has 959,000 subscribers and sits twenty-first by views; highkeyoli leads from 854,000.

03Why are there no grades on these cards?

Because our United Kingdom market study measures Instagram, not YouTube, and a grade needs a market benchmark for the platform. Without one, the page shows the measured numbers and orders by views.

04How much of each audience is actually in the UK?

The median is 38%. Stevie Knows holds 79%, the highest, and The Simpsons Theory and P1 with Matt & Tommy 20%, the lowest. Every channel cleared a 20% floor before it was read.

05Who is actually on this list?

Ten comedy, gaming and commentary channels, seven hands-on channels, five car and Formula 1 channels, two football channels and a barrister. Two of the car channels come from motoring journalists, one of them the founder of evo magazine.

06How current is this data?

Measured in September 2026 from live Click Analytic data. Subscribers, views and audience shares move every week, so check the live channel in the app before briefing anyone.
