Just letting you know that I'm being a supportive friend and watching, but as soon as Bake Off comes on I'm out of here.

[@ochoreba7949]

love your painting talks😜

[@AliceRed]

#friendshipgoals

[@celimendez7620]

aren't we all??

[@DanLayton]

That's fair.

[@hamishwoodland7424]

"I'm naked" Hazel proving she knows exactly how clothes and nudity works.

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

I love how you edit!

[@DanLayton]

Thanks, La Murphy! x

[@ems3805]

Daniel: [puts Cursed Child on shelf next to other HP books] Me: put that thing back where it came from or so help me

[@rebeccawarden4633]

Emily Smith was this an intentional monsters inc. quote or was this just a coincidence 😂

[@lljb_]

Top notch Dan! They just make me want to go out and do things. which is difficult because school

[@emilyvale2834]

Dan, I have to say that PMS is far better than the Fast and Furious movies 😂

[@petermarsh4578]

Watson: Sherlock! Why are you holding that shrub? Holmes: It's a lemon tree, my dear Watson.

[@underdescribed]

tbh thank god this is short so I have time to watch it before bake off

[@cayllles]

I LOVE THIS AND YOU SO MUCH 💖💖💖

[@emyg494]

you shine so bright in this !

[@katiegrubb6433]

+Dasha Fialkina Such a thoughtful and lovely comment 😂

[@keysmashingnerd]

+Dasha Fialkina IM LAUGHING SO HARD OH MY GOD

[@DanLayton]

[@wtuncpdd]

The way you edit and put yourself into the PMS is the best format I've seen from a PMS series.

[@valerie.magnan]

Hazel's bathing suit is just tooooo gorgeous! :O

[@maisie.6812]

I love PMS, it's such a good series. You get to see genuine laughs and excitement, it's great. I hope that when I get older I'll be able to produce content like this, and have brilliant friends like you.

[@GodOfTurkeys]

This was defo one of my faves in the series so far. Theyr always so well put together its amazing, this had such a happy summery vibe to it.

[@benhare]

God damn it I love Cayleigh. She is just fantastic.

[@lj4466]

All I did was smile through this whole thing. This editing is ace man!

[@OpheliaVert]

The main difference between Dan's PMS and Hazel's TOTM is Dan films on about three days of the month, while Hazel films everyday. Joking aside, I love watching how you both record the same event differently. I look forward to August!

[@sunfreckledmoonchild]

This had such a lovely cosy feel to it (well, apart from the politics, politics is never cosy) and the ending with the Cursed Child being put into the bookcase was just perfect.

[@katieharrison8405]

These always make me feel warm and happy. Also more of Dan the News Man please (unless KZbin won't monetise mild stalking...)(eh you have a job)

[@urturningviolet]

I also work at a bookstore and the first time I helped someone who loves Harry Potter as much as I do I almost cried. It was a fantastic experience!

[@LisEibh]

Ah yes, summer 2016 - happier and simpler times 🌞 A lovely, if brief, escape from 2021 👌

[@AmallaGetsIt]

I really enjoyed this video. It's all so lovely and I feel the summer vibe. That garden though, that is my absolute dream and makes me want to weep. Let's add an alpaca, some goats, chickens and a donkey and me, done.

[@thatguyalec7108]

MORE POLITICS WITH DAN

[@ruthedinosaur6223]

Love these monthly videos so much

[@dampfoxes]

Did Chloe baa in greeting?? ... I love her so much

[@CupcakeMinecrafter]

lovely once again dan, thank you. it's a treat that i very much look forward to each month

[@ameliagibbs8756]

Drunk people at the midnight HP releases shouting "HARRY DIES" is a fond memory that I also share. I'm glad this appears to have been a universal thing, I thought only the people of Northampton received that particular pleasure.

[@corymackenzie-gray4870]

Dan’s obsession with the lemon tree just foreshadows lemony eggs....

[@swiftlyswan]

I'm getting hype for gbbo by watching this

[@swiftlyswan]

alright I'm off to get a cuppa and snuggle in some blankets to watch someone cry over a soggy bottom. amazing pms as always, dan. excited for august...even more excited for my tea.

[@Justanobsessivegirl]

I'm really loving these vlogs, I really do hope you keen making them!

[@kristenr6385]

This was so enjoyable to watch, I think it's your best one yet!

[@bethwilson1853]

Best PMS so far Dan - loved it! Always always makes me smile!!! Xx

[@TheMattman1998]

That intro is an exact mirror of my reaction to The Rains of Castamere as well!

[@SuperHoneybee96]

your editing gets better and better every month! :)

[@MerissaMitchell]

That end shot is just amazing. Loved July x

[@20129010334251]

i love this! it definitely didn't feel ten minutes long while watching it! really light and fun and you're great :)

[@tajapaja4322]

I really enjoyed this months PMS, as in addition to highlighting moments of your personal and social life, it incorporated key news events. I think that it's quite refreshing because it sets you apart from other similar series. I continue to enjoy PMS every month, keep up the fantastic work!

[@gujugirl001]

My favorite month yet! Awesome job.

[@emmie6726]

love this daniel

[@Callmethespaceman]

Lovely as always.

[@ItsJamieFools]

Best ending of any vlog I've ever seen. Well done, mate. x

[@gabriel-mk2ss]

another great vid dan, top notch

[@victoriabettany5976]

Aw dan I've missed you!! You make me so happy! Thank you!

[@atalantasawdon4983]

Marvellous, as always.

[@Rewritethisstory]

I love this! It's so cool seeing everyone's different styles of PMS'!

[@troyrees-davies7052]

Always wait until Friday afternoon to catch up on KZbin, so this PMS has rounded out a brilliant afternoon of totm and Louise. Many thanks for this vlog Dan they get better and better each month. Also well done on holding out for the cursed child play, the only thing getting me through is the thought of pottermore presents coming out next week!

[@dragonsgorawr1]

This was quite excellent. As someone who lives in Australia I've really appreciated seeing how news has unfolded in the UK through these, first with Brexit and now with the changing of PMs. Also the reaction to Pokemon Go. Can confirm it was practically the same here.

[@eleanorrennie3228]

ok I'm v jaded also but the Harry Potter party and the shot of you adding the book to your shelf melted my icy heart a little

[@babygrinchbinch]

me too! i'd just been to a shrek party with all my fellow jaded teenage friends before i went to a local bookstore for the release party. seeing people of all ages there was just undeniably sweet.

[@captainwendy_980]

This series warms my heart

[@Emma-nw8xu]

❤

[@gryrabild]

Very nice as always Dan!

[@unji1210]

you're getting better at this daniel

[@niamhislonely]

Amazing as always Dan, I'm glad you enjoyed America in the month of July xooxo

[@no1lykholt]

This made me really happy!

[@noahcadwell4377]

Loved the vlog, sad to see it end

[@lerimeg]

I really loved this video omg I've watched it 3 times

[@DeeDee97]

That one person who disliked can kindly eff off! This was a fantastic vlog

[@GeorgeStacey]

Jeez Dan... Your Vlogs always makes me laugh! :D

[@ThisIsCronan]

You are just brilliant.

[@marthah7065]

I actually just love you

[@ginaheartscupcakes]

I love how Dan is so surprised about lemon trees in her garden....meanwhile, I have 5 in my backyard haha.

[@ginaheartscupcakes]

HoLY SHE GROWS KALE. I need to start doing that haha.

[@Silver1226]

I loved the news bit, I was so different and delightfully silly

[@Silver1226]

**it >_

[@rameshagrawal582]

axx

[@YourMomsChesthair]

[@RukayaCesar]

Excellent work 👏🏼

[@TheCheeseCurds]

i always hope the last shot isn't the last shot cause i want MORE DANIEL J. LAYTON I WANT MOREEEEEE

[@imogenna_]

Dammit Dan, I burst into tears at the Alan Rickman photo in the flowers

[@CarrieMorrison]

Is that... Is that Jacob Tanner I see?? WHAT AN AWESOME CAMEO

[@DanLayton]

Too right it is!

[@randomusernameforchris3392]

Everyone around you seems to have such a good time

[@AliceRed]

I'm glad I'm not the only 26 year old playing Pokémon Go. It looks like you had a great month in July :)

[@alicem8081]

That garden is flipping gorgeous

[@MiracleElixirDG]

This was great

[@convosandstuff7231]

That was quite lovely

[@sacha.]

My favourite month so far 👏❤️ Also thanks for the major Harry Potter feels (seeing Alan Rickman face made me a lil weepy)

[@balazsnagy1319]

Hey, I remember seeing you on the BBC coverage! I watched it and you were tweeting about being there so I looked for you and you were in the background of an interview or something. I didn't see you at the palace fence though, but it means you were on BBC news at least two times in one day!

[@lizziecarr8174]

I've got to say Dan I think your PMS' are getting better

[@elmssarah]

*whispers* psst! I like your Monthly Vlog the best.

[@caitlina2739]

Cayleigh reminds me of Michelle Williams and I love Michelle Williams so yay

[@DanLayton]

Me too, Destiny's Child are my favourite band.

[@caitlina2739]

lol I knew someone was going to make a joke about the other Michelle Williams. Didn't know it would be you, though! Hi, Daniel J Layton!

[@SamWest96]

I really enjoyed this episode as I always do, but it looked like you enjoyed making it too. Last month I was worried that you didn't enjoy it anymore and if I'd got that impression I was going to offer my permission (not trying to sound arrogant - just a viewer who creators are trying to please) to stop if you weren't happy making them. I'm pleased to see that you've got some mojo back and I hope you continue to enjoy this project 😊

[@CourtneyIsSleepy]

such a satisfying ending!

[@KarisGorst]

it was great to see the Harry Potter launch party, it basically looked like a bunch of nerds hanging out (in the best way). another fab edition to pms!

[@ByJuliah]

I swear, you got me hitting that "like" button on the first joke.

[@hannahdavison8918]

rip robb stark what a beauty

[@WaistHighView]

That Potter party looked fun! I've never actually been to one of the midnight releases, and with Cursed Child I couldn't risk it as I'm not reading it either until I see the play (but I have tickets for October, so hopefully it's manageable).

[@blaireluna389]

The ending was perfect

[@eccapechall4998]

This vlog made me laugh so much 😂 "I don't even like the conservatives" - you've gotta love Daniel J Layton 👏

[@SadieMayB]

this has been my favourite PMS so far, think it might've been the political pursuit that did it for me

[@CorpsexBridex]

I am very jealous you work in a bookshop 😭 the Lannisters send their regards x

[@MarkHilton1]

I tell you dan, that's a snazzy place you stayed in at the start of your vlog

[@jus9395]

The 'tellycopter'

[@swiftlyswan]

YEAA BOYS

[@nicoleyyt]

in reference to the very start of the video, congrats! you're no longer a sweet summer child

[@GlalGamingPanda]

I'm sorry but at 6.40 your face just looks like you're internally screaming "I really shouldn't be here" XD

[@nrdcoyne]

Short, sweet and to the point! Perfect! :) I had also originally intended on not reading The Cursed Child until I saw the play, but given that I'd have to pay for flights and accommodation to go to London to see it... I might just have to read the damn thing. It's been out for ages and I haven't even touched it yet. I have a Harry Potter tattoo for Christ sakes... /endrant

[@SFN07able]

What a perfect ending 💖✨🏰⚡️

[@misshaack]

Good times. Good times.

[@wietskejanse5951]

This was a lovely pms ^^ x

[@nortonrobey4021]

Daniel your guerrilla news is amazing can that be a thing please xD also I am LOVING the mustard yellow my friend ;)

[@CheerfulSmilingEd]

haven't seen jamie interact with people for ages I miss jamie

[@MreeAik]

My mother once mistook some shotglasses for candleholders, don't worry, it happens :')

[@rosielmao1499]

YEAAAAAAAAH BUDDY

[@keysmashingnerd]

Lovely
