Older homeowners, and their families, who live in houses built before about 1985 and want plain advice on upkeep, safety and costs (inferred from titles, descriptions and the about text).

• A photorealistic older man with grey hair and a moustache in a navy button-up shirt, centred and facing the camera in a house interior with a fuse box on the wall. Cutaway scenes show other synthetic-looking people and homes.

Format

About 20 minutes: a named older homeowner's story, a promise to reveal a hidden risk at the end, then a numbered walk through the house with a 'my call' for each item and three tasks for this week.

Why it works

• A clear niche and promise in the about text: older-home upkeep, 'plain, sourced advice', no products sold
• Repeatable story-led script: a named homeowner, a risk held back until the end, 3 weekly tasks (2 of 2 transcripts)
• High output: 14 uploads between Oct 17 and Oct 31, nearly one a day, each 18–21 minutes
• Number-and-warning titles such as '7 Pipes That Burst First' match the seasonal topics (freeze, radon, drafts)
