You could get up and do some exercise but if that just isn't on your agenda why not try these free documentary channels on YouTube. Chooses from hundreds of shows to watch on your smart TV, computer or phone. So whether you're looking to fill an hour or settling in for some binge-watching, these are the channels for you.
1. TRACKS. TRACKS is a UK based travel channel bringing viewers documentaries from around the world. They promote themselves as being
"for experienced travellers, everyday adventurers, and urban explorers with a taste for new experiences in all parts of the world - around the next corner and over the rainbow."
Their videos range in length from 20 minutes to over an hour, some are recent and some are from the archives, but regardless I have found all that I've watched to be interesting. Examples of the documentaries you will find on the channel are Great Wall of China: The Hidden Story, India's Unique Burial Rituals, Searching for Missing WWII German U-boat in the Baltic Sea, The Zambezi River: Mozambique's Force of Life, Dunhuang's Legendary Silk Road, Most Dangerous Places in the World, and Finding the Ancient Fire Worshippers of Yazd.
This channel is worth watching. Its more than 109,000 subscribers can't be wrong.

2. RTD Documentary. RTD Documentary is a Russian based English language channel. The stories presented are not only from Russia but are drawn from across the world. RTD says they offer
"Stories that inspire and educate. That break hearts and lift spirits. Stories that explore the depths of the human soul and the expanses of nature. Stories that are real – and true." Their 900 thousand plus subscribers give credence to that claim.
I found this channel while I was researching ice breaker ships and watch it often. I find their content is often unique and surprising. Some of the videos on offer include The Future of Robots: Indispensable Helpers or Fierce Rivals, The Future is Now: Biomedical Advances, This is China: China's High Speed Rail, Submarines of the Northern Fleet, Farming for Likes: Rural Bloggers and Mosul: Between War and Peace.
