    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.

    I wish Robert had continued these. I do love Fully Charged but these are just so interesting. It's so good to see celebrities completely relaxed just talking like two mates down the pub. I also wonder if any of the other drivers in the traffic realised that Stephen Fry was sitting just feet from them.
    Also was really interesting to hear Robert getting excited about the upcoming Model S.

He is best known for his portrayal of Kryten, in the BBC hit series 'Red Dwarf.' He also created Carpool, this show, in which Stephen Fry is one of his many passengers.

    @batmanofni You are almost prescient. It is a medium low budget TV show in the UK, on 'Dave' which if you are outside the UK is a TV channel not some bloke I met. If you follow to the carpoolUK link you'll see the new shows are appearing once a week. I've now recorded over 100 shows and what ever happens, there'll be a new one every week until June.
