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.
My David Mitchell addiction is getting out of hand now
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.
instablaster.
Now I see where Jerry Seinfeld got the idea for his 'comedians in cars getting coffee' !
"got" is a very generous word.
Rockmyballsplease and that fat prick James Corden
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!
Oh and I don't rate Seinfeld at all.
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 how you can tell that David has a real interest in history! I love it when he really gets into the subject he's talking about! Love David Mitchell!! :D
"they didn't have a Chernobyl, they were just careful"
love that quote...!
"We're all lucky not to be a Chinese peasant dying in the 4th century A.D. at the age of seven. 'Cause that's about par."
Dear lord, I love this quote and the man who uttered it.
David Mitchell is so very right about the nightmare of privatisation. really enjoyed his conversation tfs
I really like David's voice..
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.
Watching this today, ten years later... who could've foreseen what the country, or rather the whole world, would be like?
Great relaxed chat. David always give great interviews, such a casually interesting and funny guy.
I wish UA-cam showed the dates for these videos more prominently...still, thoroughly enjoyable and glad I found them (via a fully charged/carpool hybrid show).
this may just be the best online tv show ever created. i love it. it takes such a refreshingly relaxed yet personal take on interviews
David Mitchell speaks with so much maturity n intelligence 😀 you always imagine him to be Mark...
This has aged pretty well all things considered :-)
"if I did have an electric car" Robert Llewellyn 2010
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.
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.
+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?
+Rex Mundi You are right --but it won't be long before the world is owned by privatisation too.
When you live in a post-communist "transitioning" country like Serbia, you have no doubt that privatisation is always a borderline criminal activity.
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.
Suzanne S How is all the media Tory propaganda ? If anything most media leans heavily on the left.
David Mitchell is on my list of love to sit in a bar chatting to comedians
This makes me realise how much I love David Mitchell.
I would love more episodes with David Mitchell,this might be your best episode.
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.
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.
David and Robert have a sponteneity that's cool
Aw man... if there's one person on the planet I'd love to go on a road trip with, it'd have to be David Mitchell.
Two of my favorite comedians are in the same place! It's Kryten meets Mark Corrigan from Peep show!
I loved what he said about his experience at uni and how he wasn't really an academic. That essentially summed up exactly how I feel about being at uni, and I'm fourth year doing history too!
Make that three generations of agreement.
I am a loyal viewer of the fully charged channel thanks to this video. oh and david is always interesting.
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! :)
"there's still songs of praise" .. Oh David I do love you :)
David Mitchell is Brilliant!
great to see Robert back on tv ,he was great in red dwarf
I've watched a few of these carpools and have never come away disappointed. if this is 'make your own television' then bravo! keep making them. the idea is incredibly original for a one to one chat show. problem is...guest hosts? please, no.
RIXRADvidz Agreed!
yeah I am really enjoying this concept too. always interesting. it would be cool if they had a website where you could follow them on a map/gps so you could follow it on google maps at street level to see what their drive was truly like.
@TheBogangle Yes, it is that guy from Scrapheap. This show is called Carpool, as seen on Dave in the UK, and the bloke is Robert Llewellyn, also from Red Dwarf
david mitchell is like a sunday newspaper
I love watching David Mitchell on Channel 4's Ten O'Clock Live show, it is clear to see that not only is he very funny but also very intelligent, witty and honestly knows what he is talking about.
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.
Just discovered this series over the weekend....love it! And I have dozens still to watch!
What a delight
Great thing about doing a UA-cam search for David Mitchell is finding a cool show like Carpool!!!
It's Euston arch, the original entrance to euston st. underground station in london, we were all terribly sad when it was demolished.
Great to see a nice, long, (mostly) format-free, structure-free talk with people I admire.
Really enjoy the whole carpool series....televise immediately.....Quality!!!!!
I'd vote for David Mitchell for a government position - he makes more sense than most politicians.
@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
'this too shall pass"
I could watch interviews with David Mitchell for hours and hours.
awesome! Really enjoyed watching this, D mitchell is awesome.
jerry seinfeld owes this channel dosh
so comfy and funny
Perfect duo. Both really interesting fellows.
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 UA-cam now exceeds 7 million. (This is Robert writing BTW)
Happy Birthday Robert Llewellyn!
1:50 "We're not gonna have the internet"
I just burst into tears....
is this Krytie TV? :-)
i must must must remember to "like" things i like, .. I am coming to the conclusion that i just love everything with David Mitchell in. .....
Not having the time to check all the comments on all the episodes of Carpool and Fully Charged on UA-cam 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 UA-cam. If you hate this, that will drive you insane :-)
davids rain forest rant will save this world. LOL
We need more of these, please Robert!
AAA! It's Kryten!
I cant explain how much i fancy david mitchell
Ah OK, thank you. I think I must agree with David and you about the unfortunate demise of this lovely piece of architecture.
"Oh Christ, someone should get Steve a sandwich" lol
Just discovered this and saw that it was uploaded 7 years ago. Surprised I haven't watched it yet but delighted to go through them all.
But one big question hangs over me... James Corden LITERALLY stole this idea, right?
No, Seinfeld
carpool is like the best podcast ever made
david mitchell is the man! and London looks BEAUTIFUL that morning
The idea of carpooling is an alien concept to us country dwellers. Up here in cumbria, we think it entails cutting the roof off your car, sealing the doors with silicone and filling it with water.
I Fucking love this show.... So much better than the American show. Great interviewer/ "friend in the car. 😮"
I got over it once I realised it was a real carpool. I wrote a note here but god only knows where it is. Viva le Mitchell !
two gentlemen indeed
yea! the peep show is like a seinfeld/ curb your enthusiasm type of humor
you guys do realise the driver is the robot from red dwarf and the main presenter of scrapheap challenge
"they say in 10 years they'll be a power disaster"
Uploaded 10 years ago
Wait it's 2020, oh god what if that's next?
…it was
get steve a sandwich.. that needs to be slogan or something..
Both these blokes are legends.
Do I remember correctly that Robert goes way back with Douglas Adams? Good question for The Unbelievable Truth ? Wow I love the lively conversation from whatever the perspective. The waste is the flaw, David.
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.
Ahhh… a 2009 david Mitchel
Great stuff. Let me get this straight. You went inside my brain, via your computer interface, using my UA-cam comment and discerned the fact that I misunderstood what was said. You are a genius !
The baffling thing is our private state subsidized rail system is on paper identical to the Japanese system. Yet they have the best rail system in the world and ours is arguably the worst.
And you get to see Larry David spit herbal tea down a restaurant's curtains.
I'd like to drive David Mitchell to my home.
Well that was just charming.
love this, such a good concept and good conversation
I was actually falling asleep at the 8:10 mark. Sounded like David was aswell, even though he was doing the talking
Ahh it's a breath of fresh air.
David Mitchell AND Robert Llewellyn!! :D
XD An actual valid argument for dumping nuclear waste in rain forests XD
I still think it's a good idea 👍
He did say his education is history. It's a pretty light hearted conversation. I don't think he was claiming he's researched the subject and that's his definitive opinion on the matter.
I like the theme tune
A simple and effective idea :) This is a great little show XD
Haha, stuff the radioactive waste in the rain forest. Brilliant!
Robert Webb is nothing like Jeremy. Robert is thoughtful, witty, loves poetry and respects women. Jeremy is a priapic spanner.
this is brilliant, thank you
Ahhh garageband loops. Gotta love royalty free stuff :D
It should be on the BBC though. Some of the responses from the guests shine a light on aspects of their personalities which would never be revealed in a more conventional chat show format. This show is gold. I must admit I am a reasonably obsessive RD fan and therefore more than a little biased..
7.32 yes,yes,yes i couldn't agree more
Regarding utilities, it's already privatised. Water companies won't fix leaks because it costs short term money loss which will look bad on the board meeting, although they lose more money in the long term they don't want to be the ones looking bad that quarter and they'll be gone by the time it becomes too bad to ignore etc.
David Mitchell for Prime Minister... and hey, let's go for President too! No, world leader! He could sort everything out and look classy while doing it.
@carpoolUK Naturally this argument is rightly forward and discussed. I personally understand change in the automotive industry is needed, for environmental, political and resource reasons. The prius is probably NOT the answer to future needs as indeed yes, its manufacturing is highly polluting as is its recycling but its a start to change, things dont happen over night. However, I enjoy watching carpool, David is an interesting guy who mixes his views on real life issues with genuine humour.
Awesome :)
Incidentally, I'm in Australia so I haven't actually seen most of the shows that you listed :( Time to start combing youtube.
