“You just have to watch something you know you’re going to enjoy.” ✈️

The flight clip travelled widely. Richard Osman and Marina Hyde's sponsored conversation about choosing an in-flight film drew roughly 270,000 views, the largest audience among The Rest Is Entertainment's seven new uploads.

It is a British Airways promotional segment, with Osman recalling watching The Holdovers, starring Paul Giamatti, on his return from the US. Hyde asks whether he became emotional; Osman says it was his companion Ingrid who cried at Ticket to Paradise instead. In the comments, the business-class setting becomes a talking point of its own, with viewers questioning how closely it resembles their flying experience.

The week's more serious episodes turn towards the entertainment industry's responsibilities. In "Russell Brand: What The Media Knew", the hosts discuss Brand's career and media culture following his sentencing for rape and sexual assaults. "David Walliams: The Reckoning?" examines allegations against Walliams reported by the Guardian and ITN. That episode is currently drawing the most daily views of any upload on the channel.

There is also room for a substantial Hollywood conversation. Marina's Sylvester Stallone interview ranges from getting Rocky made to his relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, working with Dolly Parton and the occasion when Pelé broke his finger. Separate excerpts revisit Parton and Stallone's view that Rocky would not be made today.

The channel added about 2,000 subscribers across the week, while daily views are running at nearly four times their usual level. Among the nearby film-and-TV channels, The Last Kingdom also had a substantial viewing week; Nerd Cookies has been quieter than usual. For The Rest Is Entertainment, the week stretches from the small decisions made on a plane to much larger questions about the industry supplying its screens.
