The chefs drew the crowd. BBC's most-watched new upload, "There are two sides to every story - BBC", reached roughly 4.8 million views, giving Rise of the Rockstar Chef a substantial audience beyond its full episodes.

In the documentary extract, Gordon Ramsay revisits his final night at Harvey's. He remembers crying and describes being physically grabbed during his time in the kitchen. Asked how clearly he recalls that night, he says: "I remember it like yesterday. I would like to have it out with him and look at him." It is a difficult exchange about memories that have not faded.

Elsewhere, the week's sixteen uploads offered a considerable change of scene. Blue Planet III supplied a vast gathering of crabs, with David Attenborough returning to ocean life. Diane Morgan's fictional documentary-maker Philomena Cunk brought her questions about cinema to Mark Kermode, while Joe Swash remembered a Titanic cinema date in a clip from Stacey & Joe: In Too Deep. Lenny Rush also appeared as Val in The Reluctant Vampire, based on Eric Morecambe's books.

The chef extract remains the channel's busiest video right now. The crab gathering is another strong source of viewing, alongside the previous week's "The reunion nobody saw coming - BBC", whose gathering of three British chefs has passed six million views.

BBC's subscriber total was unchanged over the week. Its daily views are currently well below their usual level, but the catalogue accumulated roughly 44 million views across the week, with the kitchen documentary and underwater spectacle both contributing to that mix.
