Jono Lancaster once wished for a different face. In LADbible Stories' latest Honesty Box, he describes how that relationship with himself changed: "I absolutely love my beautiful face."

The campaigner answers questions about living with Treacher Collins syndrome, relationships and his decision not to have cosmetic surgery. His adoptive mother's unconditional love is central to the conversation, as is the experience of finally meeting other people with the same condition. He also speaks about bullying, suicidal thoughts during his teenage years and the importance of telling someone when things feel difficult.

With roughly 76,000 views, the interview is the most-watched of the channel's eight uploads this week. Separate clips explore being stared at and the possibility of having children. Viewers return particularly to his mother's support and his willingness to explain his experiences.

Sunday's Minutes With brings a different working life into focus. In "I've Investigated Over 5,500 Deaths | Minutes With", Barbara Butcher recalls investigating deaths for New York City's medical examiner, identifying victims after 9/11 and receiving therapy for the PTSD that followed. It is currently the channel's fastest-moving upload.

Across the channel, weekly views reached about 4.6 million and subscribers increased, although daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Among nearby documentary channels, FRONTLINE had a larger subscriber gain, while Real Stories recorded no subscriber change.

There is movement beyond the new interviews, too: Brian Cox's conversation with Amaani about extraterrestrial life has passed a million views, keeping Explainer for a Stranger active alongside the established question-box formats.
