Families now spending nearly six hours a day watching TV or streaming

Stuck at home, unable to travel or socialise with friends, lockdown was always going to lead to more time in front of the box. But Covid has truly turned us into a nation of couch potatoes, with the average Briton whiling away a third of their waking hours watching TV during the pandemic. Families typically spent nearly six hours per day bingeing on broadcast channels, streaming services and online content such as YouTube last year, research reveals. The rise – up by 47 minutes on 2019 – came as tens of millions were confined to their homes and also caused subscriptions to platforms such as Netflix to rise by 50 per cent to 31million.
