Carpool

Carpool is a kinda Vblog where actor Robert Llewellyn from Red Dwarf and Scrapheap Challenge fame, interviews interesting and sometimes famous people while driving kryten_228x309in his car. Most of the time he is simply giving  them a lift across London, or he travels to interesting locations – like a video he just posted talking to Michael Eavis  during the preparations for this years Glastonbury Festival.Scrapheap
The great thing about these interviews is they’re extremely candid, open and for want of a better phrase ‘gonzo’. What I mean to say, is that they’re completely ad-hoc. As such they’re brilliant. Further to this Robert’s amiable personality and humour both disarm and relax the interviewees, making for no awkward moments and make the viewer feel like they’re actually there.
It is extremely entertaining, the actors and comedians are without make up, they openly swear and talk normally – it’s very open and real. As such, I have becoCarpool Stephen Fryme totally addicted and wonder why people who I also follow on the web have not done the same. He does an awesome interview with Stephen Fry as well.
I can fully recommend this site and furthermore he often tests new hybrid cars during them. Links are in in the photos above, in bold text, in the Blogroll and HERE

Oh, and he loves the Tesla, Which I will be writing about in the not too distant future, or more accurately, I’ll be writing about the Tesla S, a large roomy car with a 300 mile range and almost affordable. Here is a picture of it until then.

  1. TWB, I’ve just spent the last hour looking through these videos, I’m loving them! What did you think to the Lisa Rogers one?
    I thought they should be still working together on something, excellent.

  2. Dude, I noticed he mentioned a Red Dwarf easter special. This is what I hate about tramping around the world on contracts, you miss great entertainment.
    Fascinating to see well known people being unguarded.

    I miss Scrapheap!

  3. Oh, I’ll be on twitter again toward the weekend

  4. Hey DheartD, where in the world are you?

    Yes, I thought the Lisa Rogers one was hilarious, and brilliant.
    Also, it appears Llewellyn used to date someone in Chepstow… Well, seeing as I sometime go drinking there – it’s probably a good thing he no longer does. I can’t say I’m surprised that it’s a past tense thing. You could spend hours in a Urology dept having the Chepstow cold removed :-P

  5. [...] and here where Paula “questions” http://paulatobias.wordpress.com/ INTERNATIONALLY: If you were a “Red Dwarf Fan”- like off the wall interviews- hybrid cars- check out TWB’s post http://twbrit.com/2009/06/24/carpool/ [...]
