Drama after the christening #BreakClause

Nic rushes downstairs with news she thinks Ben needs to hear. The family gathering promptly falls apart, but the crucial detail in Channel 4 Comedy's "Drama after the christening #BreakClause" is that Ben and Lil aren't actually together anymore. Nobody thought to tell Nic.

The scene was the most-watched of six new uploads, reaching about 20,000 views. Its comedy keeps finding distractions from the supposed scandal: an unwanted puppet gift enters the conversation, and Ben's mother orders Alan out of the bathtub so they can leave. One viewer's practical objection is to the location of the upstairs encounter, with the whole family downstairs.

Break Clause supplies four of the week's uploads, including two full episodes. Samuel Bottomley and Lara Ricote play Ben and Lil, whose relationship has ended before their shared tenancy. Episode two adds a date brought back to the flat and the side effects of Ben's accidental medical trial; episode three takes the pair back to Leeds for the christening. It's an awkward living arrangement with remarkably little room for a private disaster.

The other two uploads come from It Gets Worse. "Suddenly you're a lodger in your childhood home #ItGetsWorse" currently has the strongest daily momentum, having also made a busier first-day start than the christening clip.

Across the channel, subscribers held steady while views added roughly 644,000 over the week. Daily viewing is now a little above its usual level. Among nearby television channels, Young Sheldon had a particularly substantial week, while Channel 4 Comedy's weekly viewing was close to Knight Rider Official's: familiar television remains useful company between the new sitcom excerpts.
