Stephen Hendry is soon questioning his own generosity. With David Seaman handed an 80-point start, the seven-time world champion admits: "I think this 80 start was an absolute big, big massive error."

Their match was the biggest new upload on Stephen Hendry's Cue Tips this week, reaching roughly 133,000 views. Seaman traces his snooker beginnings to the pub where his mother worked, then moves between pots and memories of footballers playing during training downtime and England duty. Goalkeeping brings its own version of table-side psychology: staying alert when little is happening, and trying not to reveal your intentions to a penalty taker.

There is plenty beyond the handicap. Seaman remembers Arsène Wenger's silent half-time dressing room and revisits his remarkable save against Sheffield United. Viewers keep returning to his chuckle, with several recalling the pleasure of watching both men in the 1990s. One Arsenal supporter remembers Seaman as a childhood hero, even above the club's celebrated forwards.

Five uploads filled the week. "Get In! 👏" and "Safe Hands 🧤" gave Seaman's shots their own outings, with "Safe Hands 🧤" now attracting the strongest daily viewing of the three. Two other posts announced Hendry's global ambassador partnership with 8 Ball Strike; those are promotional videos for the game.

Across the catalogue, viewing passed a million for the week while subscribers held steady. Daily views are running above the channel's usual pace. Among nearby sports channels, Weightlifting House had a particularly busy week, while Break from life is currently quieter than usual. Hendry's football guest supplied the week's main attraction, and the match eventually reaches a black-ball shootout.

This was brilliant!
David Seaman was my absolute hero growing up. As an arsenal fan, he’s still my no.1 favourite player, above the Henry’s and Bergkamp’s. Lovely bloke as well. Favourite episode yet.
