A care-home sale brings business talk to James English
The week's most-watched new clip follows a guest's purchase, expansion and eventual regret at selling a Bolton care home.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Bought a care home without telling my footballer husband and sold it for two and a half million
Anything Goes With James English drew about 1.6 million views across the week, putting it third for weekly viewing among its nearby podcast and interview peers. Toni and Ryan and Bussin' With The Boys had particularly busy weeks; English's subscriber count edged upwards too.
Across 15 uploads, the largest new audience went to a business story rather than a prison recollection: "Bought a care home without telling my footballer husband and sold it for two and a half million" reached roughly 133,000 views.
The guest traces the idea back to Maggie, an animal-sanctuary owner who had made her fortune running nursing homes. She describes searching properties, buying a Bolton care home and purchasing next door to expand it. Her husband's doubts about her experience met a straightforward response: she would learn.
The sale is not her happy ending. After describing full occupancy and a waiting list, she says: "The biggest mistake I ever made was selling it though." In the comments, the conversation moves away from entrepreneurial nerve towards care fees and whether elderly care should be privately owned.
Elsewhere, "Joey Barton on his first night in Strangeways" attracted a substantial audience. The newer Lee Murray clip is currently drawing the most daily views, with the care-home interview next. Daily viewing across the channel is above its usual level, even as that short business recollection remains the week's most-watched new upload.
