Chris Spargo (born 1995) is an English videographer, film-maker, researcher, and Youtuber.[1] He rose to prominence in 2025 with his series of YouTube videos "Small Questions," with a signature deadpan style of delivery, making videos on the topic of small quirks in British life and history. He previously worked as a videographer.[2]
In 2025, Spargo posted a video titled "Why do UK supermarkets have clock towers?"[3] [4] This lead to some media attention, including an article in the Daily Express and an interview on BBC Essex.[5] Since then, he has produced regular, short, documentary-style videos on his YouTube channel, including "Why does Reading University have a nuclear bunker?"[6] His video style - short, informative, largely on location discussions - has been compared to Tom Scott, who ceased to make regular videos[7] shortly before Spargo gained popularity.
