At Home With the Furys has become one of the UK's most-watched TV shows - and the only Netflix programme to make it into the top 50 most viewed in the same period. The series, starring boxer Tyson Fury and his family, became available on the streaming service on August 16.
Now, according to Barb, the body which tots up how many people watch programmes in the UK, it racked up an incredible 2.6 million viewers in the week August 14 - 20 - the latest available figures. The most-viewed programme in the same period was the Fifa Women's World Cup Final, which garnered 7.3 million viewers.
At Home With the Furys offers exclusive access to the heavyweight champion of the world in his retirement. It is a fly-on-the-wall look at the Wythenshawe 35-year-old's extraordinary family, including wife Paris, 33, father John, 59, six children aged between four and 13, and brother Tommy Fury with his girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague.

It's been an instant hit with fans of the fighter, but has also won over those who weren't familiar with him beforehand. It shows the man behind the brand, from starting Tyson's day with the chaotic school run to constantly looking for projects to keep him busy.
