Does anyone here have any good YouTube channels/shows that you'd recommend to others?

The reason I bring this up is that recently I find myself watching a LOT of stuff on YouTube these days, in fact I'd say that it's almost killed off the kind of junk food t.v I used to have on in the background during my down time which was basically a lot of whatever happened to be on Dave. Loads of old Top Gear, weak traffic police reality shows (all of which seem to be narrated by Jamie Theakston) right on through to properly rubbish stuff like Storage Hunters.

YouTube has come down like a brass anvil however and squished 99% of that with some of the channels and shows I've discovered recently (yes I am aware that I am painfully behind the times) so I was wondering if anyone here had some recommendations they'd like to throw out?

Personally I've found myself getting really into the Tested channel which seems to be the brainchild of the guys from Mythbusters, loads of content and some genuinely interesting project logs etc. The Motortrend channel is another good one, which for me has basically replaced Top Gear with shows like Dirt Every Day, Roadkill, Hot Rod Garage and proper road tests with vehicles I'm actually interested in. There's loads more I could throw out there, Jay Leno's Garage in particular springs to mind for petrolheads but I was interested to see if you guys had anything you'd like to recommend?

I watch some ODD stuff :)

I watch Teds Holdover a lot too... not many updates ecently but superb viewing

Why have I just watched an hour of axe videos?

https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium I really do like this guys work, it strikes me as the kind of stuff I'd rather the beeb did.

Have you seen Photonicinduction? If you don't mind some (ok a lot of) cockerney foul mouthed-ness, he does some mad things with a 13amp socket....

because you..like I.. have found you have an interest in.. axes.

and chainsaws.. and petrol powered tools. ... and firewood.. and you're fine.. don't worry.

This is always fun

Lot's for me to bookmark ready for some post tea time viewing here! Thanks guys, keep 'em coming!

Oh, while I'm here I may as well post one for the musicians, or more strictly speaking the guitarists on here. Premier Guitar has a section of their channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/premierguitar) called rig rundowns where they run through every element of almost every famous touring musician or bands rig. Pedals, amps, cabs, guitars, great geek out material basically, especially if you're chasing a specific effect or trying to replicate a specific sound. :)

Honest trailers are always a good laugh.

If we're doing Honest Trailers then we also have to do 'How It Should Have Ended'. :)

If your bored I suggest LA Beast for a brief time to entertain you :)

In my concent. technology geeks sony, T-series alpha music and some tutorials and music channels including asterids, enya

Forgotten Weapons https://www.youtube.com/user/ForgottenWeapons aka gun Jesus (you'll understand if you watch ;) ) it's not the usual gun channel, he's more focused on odd, rare and historical guns.

The history and mechanics behind, not how much it can shoot through of similar.

Your youtube subscription list must look pretty similar to mine. You've missed a few though...

Rare Earth - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtG...EJPeUPhJZ4M4jA
Tom Scott - https://www.youtube.com/user/enyay
Veritasium - https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium
Physics Girl - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7D...yaTDtWYGO2CwdA

and on a slightly different note, Adrien Mauduit - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC0...6nuLSAi1JNBjkA Some truly stunning timelapse and astrophotography videos, I think this is my favourite:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxNqjmktYV4

I love international travel food channels :
Search for Strictly dumpling / Mark Wiens / The Foodranger on Youtube.

How could I forget shut up and sit down https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyR...dIOw07Pd8pHxCw
Great board game reviews

Alex French Guy Cooking
https://www.youtube.com/user/FrenchGuyCooking
It's like a mix of hacking and cooking, with an outrageous accent

I've started watching Gamers Nexus again recently , I think he needs a name change considering most of his reviews are general computer hardware.

With the amount of subs I have (191 at last count) there is more content each day then I can watch so it keeps me busy and so I don't watch normal TV anymore and havn't for a number of years.

I recently found 'The History Guy'..

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4s...IFlxRIFBRV6VXQ

There is also an airline food or airline Business/First class experience channel by Sam Chui

Another https://www.youtube.com/user/ExtraCreditz Extra Credits I really love their history stuff

just saw this - in some ways a bit basic, but nice to have it confirmed. Some comedy other vids in the series too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk_ZlWJ3qJI

For electrical/electronics lovers & hobbyists, lookup Electroboom (sorry can't post URLs yet)

The guy is very knowledgeable in this field and has some very entertaining videos (and also manages to "accidentally" shock himself almost every video).

I just discovered BPS.Space.

Amateur electronics hobbyism to the extreme!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE0_-g7YV1M

I'd like to add RCSparks Studio ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxc...o3D6Q9esu05a1Q ) to the list, even if you have no interest in RC cars and models - The series YouTube Gold is compelling viewing on a Sunday morning.

https://youtu.be/tTuht1KewP0

Would it be wrong to suggest my own channel? What the heck, it charts my triumphs and tragedies through RC and FPV - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5_..._as=subscriber

I know it's not a Youtube channel and is a podcast, but I have to give a shout out to Hardcore History if you're gonna be doing things and want to learn a bit.
