Audience

Homeowners and seniors living alone, with a British tilt in some titles and pounds in the stories, who want cheap burglary prevention habits (inferred from titles, the about text and the descriptions).

Format

About 21-24 minutes: the presenter opens with a dated case story as a hook and a short intro as a former burglary detective, then a numbered countdown with on-screen labels and cutaway clips, and a closing task.

Why it works

• All 3 long videos use a numbered-list title, 2 with a detective angle; one names British seniors in the title
• The 3 long videos run 21-24 minutes with a case story, a countdown and a task, a repeated structure
• The about text gives an 18-year burglary-detective backstory, and both transcripts claim the detective past early on
• The most viewed 2026 video, 10 home defense hacks, has 283 views, and its title adds a 'government want to ban' hook
