    ABOUT CARPOOL:
    Carpool is an online show hosted by Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf, Scrapheap Challenge, Fully Charged), who gives a wide variety of passengers a lift in a hybrid or electric car and they talk. It's as simple as that. Previous guests include Stephen Fry, David Mitchell, Charlieissocoolike and Jim Jeffries.

    The superb thing about Carpool is how it manages to get the interviews to sound like chats. The interviewees don't appear to be promoting anything, and Llewellyn hits the perfect spot of not taking the conversation over, but guides them to keep them interesting.

      I do agree Kryten doesn't get the credit he deserves. But I quite like Corden. Might be an affection to 'Smithy' from Gavin & Stacey.
      Watch his George Michael comic relief sketch. It's amazing!

      If it wasn't for Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David Network TV would have still kept on churning out the same old derivative bland shit. However I'm sure Jerry will be devastated a nobody who never had an original thought is not impressed.

    I love that the driver misses an exit because he's enthralled with David's rants. If I was given the task of driving him somewhere, I'd probably miss every exit for the same reason and end up driving into an ocean somewhere.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this. The environment seems to catch people far more intimately than even Parkinson could. Showing celebrities as real people with real thoughts and voices goes along way towards breaking the media driven 'celeb culture' in this country. Its good to finally see celebs as real people when they're not falling out of a nightclub, or getting out of a car with their legs open! The future of internet tv could learn from this.

    I began watching Carpool as an Canadian RD fan, before I had a good grasp of who its guests were. Since then I've become an avid anglophile, and a big fan of most of these people. David Mitchell in particular. Fantastic comedian, who could be my doppelgänger for his attitudes on most things, though better stated with wonderful pithy observations.

    Hey Robert, just wanted to leave a quick message here, to say how much I'm enjoying this show... only found out about it a few days ago, but I'm absolutely loving it. It's enormously cathartic to see such a relaxed approach towards genuine conversation here, rather than some scripted nonsense. Keep up the great work, sir.

  • @commanderkruge
    @commanderkruge 14 лет назад +2

    Woot! I have seen a lot of Mr.Mitchell's work here on youtube and am, I guess it's fair to say so, a fan of his now! Thanks, Mr.Llwellyn, once more for your great series of interviews - no matter if I know your guests, it's always interesting to listen to you talk with them! :)

    because there is something really good about conversations in cars that makes them so much more comfortable than a face-to-face chat, and because this format doesn't cost the interviewee any time - they'd be travelling anyway.

  • @rexmundi2237

    David Mitchell is absolutely right about the horrors of privatisation. Putting public utilities in private hands has been the hallmark of greedy, irresponsible conservative governments for decades. You don't have to be jeremy Corbyn to figure that out.

    • @Dextrovix-42
      @Dextrovix-42 8 лет назад +1

      +Rex Mundi Makes me wonder what you put here first as I see you've edited the above. Surprised you made it to the part about privatisation if you believe at least one member in the car was a "boring twat" as you've written above?

      Yet the media is all Tory propaganda and they get idiots blaming everybody else for what Tories cause. People think all the Thatcherite ex Tories in UKIP and anti EU Tories care about British people, but they will keep saying there has to be a hard Brexit as an excuse to kill off anybody who isn't any use at being a slave for the few at the top and their tax dodging corporate donors.

    @carpool  12 лет назад

    The show concept is very simple. How could I get to talk to interesting but generally busy people for a super low budget, experimental online series? Somehow I stumbled on giving people a ride, it grew from there. It has never been on the BBC, it started and continues on the net. Thankfully it worked, the combined download figure for iTunes and RUclips now exceeds 7 million. (This is Robert writing BTW)

    @DrownedBeliefs The confusion probably my fault. The refining process is highly efficient, no argument there. Sure it uses a lot of electricity which very few people factor in, but that's not what I'm talking about. When you burn fossils to produce power, anything other than 100% efficiency is a waste. We waste billions of gallons/cubic meters every day, we really DO waste far too much. When a renewable energy source is less efficient, who gives a stuff. We must not waste what we cannot replace

    I'm currently living outside of the UK and we get BBC World and BBC Entertainment (formerly known as BBC Prime) on cable. The latter used to consist of an excellent mix of documentaries, comedies and educational programmes, but since about three years ago it's just soaps and puppet shows for toddlers (the latter being the more intellectual alternative, I guess). It almost makers me wish for some commercials.

    Not having the time to check all the comments on all the episodes of Carpool and Fully Charged on RUclips I miss a lot of stuff. I can see that this particular episode has created quite a discussion, far more than I could possibly find time to read. If you are interested I do a show that is very much focussed on the issues around future energy and electric/hybrid cars, called Fully Charged. It's on RUclips. If you hate this, that will drive you insane :-)

    Now, as far as I know, not one other country in Europe runs their railways like this. You might have thought our government when devising this system might have thought "hmm I wonder why that is?"....
