Defibs in phone boxes
Short guide and blurb about how a UK charity is turning old phone boxes into defib stations.
I watch out for these things when I'm out and about.
Do we apologise for Tom Scott videos? I'll hedge my bets: soz for Scottery.

I like his choice of subject matter.
It’s just that there’s something about him that I can’t quite put my finger on that rubs me the wrong way.

Yeah...
I can imagine that response to Tom, even though I don't get it myself.

For me, it’s the delivery.
He’s clever, with interesting things to say, that he talks about intelligently. However he can’t deliver his own script well. I think if he ad libbed a bit more, going by a more narrative structure rather than reciting lines, which I am sure he is, he might be less annoying.

There is the smell of Sugar Puffs about him...
...but at least he's not gurning and shouting all the time.

It's the uncanny valley between a mainstream TV presenter and a YouTuber

I can imagine a skit of Superman clutching his chest rushing into a phone box and coming out smiling

Slightly tangential,
but on a couple of his vids, he does an imitation clapper-board thing with his hands at the start.
Anyone know why? And, as a follow-on, anyone know why he leaves them in the broadcast version?

I would think that
when he's filming he records video (camera) and audio (microphone) separately. The clapper board clap will make it easier to sync up the video and audio later in editing.
This is the reason for clapper boards generally.
Why does he leve them in? Don't know. Cinéma vérité? Is that the right phrase?

He prides himself in his videos being in one take.
A lot involve him walking and talking, then arriving at his destination (or the point) at the right moment.
I reckon that could be why his delivery can seem odd. Trying to get the timing right.
The clapperboard bit is probably to emphasize that it is one take.

You might be right,
Although, for the record, I don't find his delivery to be odd.
