INTRODUCING...

New channel: established. You can go and subscribe now if you want. Annoyingly, it wouldn't let me have BiffoAndSanja for some reason (even though that channel name doesn't exist elsewhere), so... the link is MrBiffoAndSanja: https://www.youtube.com/@MrBiffoAndSanja
There's nothing on there yet. Hoping I'll be well enough for us to film next week, and we'll launch properly then.
We'll do a video on the existing channel announcing what's going on, at which point everything that's currently unlisted will become public again. We'll gradually migrate Digi Level 2 over as well, and Drong's Challenge will launch on there in the autumn. We'll possibly move some of our more recent Digi favourite videos - the ones that fit into the format - onto Biffo And Sanja too.
Just to reiterate, we're not changing what we do with this move, but it allows the full breadth of all our output to breathe, and gives the new stuff - be it the travel docs or Drong's Challenge - a better chance. We're going to be doing loads more Britain's Most Boring City, as they're not as time-consuming, so we can get more to you more quickly.
Weirdly, we made the connection yesterday that the channel has only been struggling since Cheapshow started doing regular videos - which coincides with noticing that our videos being pushed out mainly to Cheapshow, and thus not being seen by a wider audience! We really, really hope that the same thing doesn't happen with the new channel. Love Paul and Eli, but man alive...!
Oddly, we had a weird guy comment a couple of times on the Lincoln video that we were "typical" Southerners being patronising to the North, twice calling London "dirty and smelly" like that was some sort of epic pwn.
For the absence of doubt - and though I hate explaining the joke, and sure you all understand anyway - we're (probably) never going to find Britain's Most Boring City, because the whole idea is that we're going to find fun stuff to do in each one. It's us turning the idea of finding Britain's Best City on its head.
Anyway. Just think it's more evidence of the increasingly tribal and fractured nature of the world, rather than anything we did. Londoners = woke, lefty, liberal elites and all that, so a fair bit of projection going on. Same thing happened on the riots video last year.
Covid update: no longer light-headed and dizzy, but still rough.
Comments
Subscribed! New name; same great taste. I've really been enjoying the new direction over the past year or so. Fingers crossed this gets more people watching.
