In his recurring YouTube series ‘Straight Line Missions’, this timid Briton tries to cross a country in a straight line with the help of a GPS system. Accompanied by a friend and homemade 8-bit music, Davies encounters a lot of memorable things. Think of things like angry farmers and deadly quicksand.
What makes this online TV show so appealing is its calm nature (Davies takes his time), the poetic voice overs and the apparent seriousness of the mission. With countries such as Wales, Scotland and Norway (we won’t tell you which ones succeeded), the GeoWizard is a real modern explorer in a world that seems to have been combed through already.

This series sits in a different corner of YouTube. If you are a movie buff, these episodes are for you. Corridor Crew is the behind-the-scenes-Corridor channel. This movie studio produces their own short videos and has grown massively through YouTube.

With this ‘React’ series, Corridor Crew gives a very interesting look into the world behind the making of movies and TV shows.

Once a plumber, he now makes videos full-time for his YouTube channel about building the weirdest objects; from a hovercraft to upside-down magnetic shoes. Everything is done from his shed in England.
In the ‘Underground Tunnel‘ series connect Furze to his underground man cavebunker, which he made in previous episodes, with his shed and his house.
