  • Yeah thanks Rob, was an innovative idea, and lord knows TV has few of those so I wish u success with the move to television.

    Dont think it makes any difference for me personally because Im Australian therefore cant get Dave so Ill continue watching whiechever ones peak my interest on here. Good luck

  • did you ever get to monetize it?

  • BL, in my opinion you have transcended (unbelievably) the EPICnuss of your televisual work and I have been around and an admirer since the very biginning. Excellent work sir! Much luv (in the Jesus way, with no religous context what so ever).

  • congrats rob thats awesome news i'll need to let my folks know as i'm sure they would love carpool. i am unfortunately one of those people that need to catch up (sorry) but i will. also totally agree dave is a great channel that shows so many of my favourite shows. i'm away to watch the carpool episodes i've missed lol.

  • Wow, looks great.

  • It's a packet-switching network. The ones and zeroes are packeted up and sent as electro-magnetic pulses which are routed around "gateways". At each "hop" the packets are directed generally toward the correct location (domain). This generalisation becomes more specific the closer it gets. Much like post office sorting depots, a depot in USA gets a letter for Ipswich (UK) and sends it to England. It arrives in London where it is sent more specifically to Suffolk. Maybe it's a rhetorical question?

  • U should try and see if a TV network in the states will brodcast it as well......

  • I've heard that in the next series, it will feature, amongst others, Adam Savage and Grant Imahara. Does any one know if this is true, and who the others guests are?

  • Dave isn't a channel, It's a small, off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden!

  • Top man, top idea....well done.

  • Thanks Robert. Been watching from day one, great format. Looking forward to more!

  • Do you think that maybe once you go on Dave, do you think you could get Jeremy Clarkson on and have a good debate with him!

  • Surely Holly can't run the Internet....He just has an IQ of 5,000......5,000 PE teachers!

  • Congrats, good work rewarded!

    Lets face it, it always deserved to be on TV, it was just a matter of showing that with numbers. Congrats again.

  • Well Done!

    

  • This is awesome news.

    This is easily the most original (and simple) interview show ever.

    Love it!

  • You lovely splendid man! Congratulations :)

  • CONGRATS mate.....

  • I can't get Dave where I live.

    Next time you see Dave tell him, from me- if he doesn't start broadcasting on FreeSat, I'm going to, wee on his lettuce patch and shoot his albino hamster.

  • Well done bobby !  Fingers crossed gearsless will make it onto channel Dave too : )

  • Hm, there was a clip of you with Holly there, but I can't find it. Where is it? :P

  • @albertaplum If you go to the wikipedia page "Carpool (web series)" it lists and links all the episodes there, look for the one with "Hattie Hayridge"

  • @backacheache hey thanks, it worked. I watched it on blip.tv

  • Congratulations Bobby, all the very best with it. :-)

  • Oh, how lovely. I can make lots more people watch it when away from computers, hehe. Hmm, I guess that's the point of proppy telly then, aye?

    P:)

  • Congrats!

  • Smegging brilliant!

  • A short intermission - Bobby: a 'summer recess' no less : )

  • Congratulations!

  • awesome show Rob. Hope you continue to make them! (keep missing them! naughty of me - i'll have to set some time aside!)

  • This is clever! I'm must, must see the Dr Brian Cox and the Sir Patrick Stewart episodes....

  • Awesome news, bob. And thanks for giving us such a great show. Here's to the future of it!

  • kule

  • well done it is a great great great show. I hope that when you get on Dave that you continue to talk to non clebs as well. They tend to be the more interesting and funnier interviews than some of the celeb ones

  • Are you sure you want to be on a channel that is 50% Jeremy Clarkson shows ?

    You'll just have to get him on Carpool.

  • You're WELCOME! :P!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • My big question is will the tv show keep the theme song?

  • wow thats great news, well done Rob!

  • That's great news Bobby. Well done mate.

  • Congratulations Robert. I knew that CarPool would make it to television one day :) I'm so chuffed for you. You have not only gotten me interested in your interviews but into green transport too. The Prius and Tesla, MiEV, Leaf. Wonderful stuff. Keep up the fantastic work.

  • Congratulations! I don't really watch Dave, but the new Red Dwarf and Carpool will certainly make it worth a look.

    The more recent Carpool with new cameras look rather good in this HD video too!

  • i love DAVE (the channel) they are the best thing on tv :-)

  • Congrats Bobby! I always had faith that you'd take Carpool "legit". As long as the episodes still appear online as always then the extra funding and well deserved salary is more than worth hitching a ride on the old telebox for. Good luck! Hope it has a really long run.

  • Very interested in seeing the bigscreen version with all it's new bells and whistles. I just wanted to pose my recent musings, for a while now it's appeared to me that the actual series has been less about CarPooling and more about giving people a traditional lift. Now I could be wrong about that, but it's just how it has been coming accross.

  • Congratulations, awesome news.

  • Congratulations, Mr. L!!! I've been a carpool devotee since I discovered it last year and I'm very happy that you're enjoying such success. I live in the US, so I'll have to wait for the Dave eps to be loaded, but that's quite alright with me. Well done!

  • Well done Bob - look forward to the show but podcast will be my favoured medium

  • "How does internet work." Basically, if someone finds something, he tells about it to some other persons on a forum or chat channel or some other way and then the word just spreads the same way and if the thing is enough interesting, it gets a lot of views/downloads/attention. Simple. (Plus all the spam bots and search bots looking for new stuff to list everywhere.)

  • Congratulations, Robert. Well deserved.

  • Hey Bobby, Can I get a Free Toyota please? Can I huh?

  • Amazing news bobbyllew! I have been watching the series from the start (loved the Ben Goldacre and Rebecca Watson episodes btw) and I am very pleased that you have managed to bag a TV contract :)

    Congratulations!

  • Nice one Rob! Looking forward to seeing this, good luck with it all!

  • Congratulations!!

  • please Robert , , can you use Uk English for your spelling of "litre" not "liter" ? thanks,,, that my only negative point to your vids , , ,thanks again and it'll be great to see you on Dave.

  • Awesome news! Dave has really been reeling in good shows the last year, looking forward to watching 'proper telly' :-) good luck!

  • Not the biggest surprise, saw that one coming the moment you hinted you had a momentous announcement to make. I have to say I didn't twig it would be Dave, but it does make perfect sense. You and Top Gear repeated in an endless loop, that's kharma at work. Congrats in order, but also a bit of a slap in the face from the 'new media' pioneer, off to 'proper telly' at high speed.

  • @axeman3d I take your point about the new media pioneer slap in the face. I am still 100% committed to using new media and have to remain open to all prospects/offers of how to fund such ventures. Believe me I have thought long and hard about this, but for the time being, the compromise of making the show for traditional broadcast, which in turn funds the online project looks like the best option. The profound hope is that the content won't change, it'll still be Carpool

  • @bobbyllew Too bad we cannot get Dave in the U.S. Love the show!

  • @bobbyllew I hope it works out for you, Carpool is something I genuinely enjoy every week. It's not talking down to anyone, the guests couldn't be more natural in that environment and every now and again you actually learn something. I can see Dave doing some heavy editing though, knocking it down to two 10 minute segments or something. Even so, a new media pioneer might see that as advertising the podcast for the uninitiated...

  • Well done Bobby! We all knew it would only grow and grow into something bigger and even better! :-)

  • We understand delays Rob. It's the gap between episodes that builds anticipation. ;)

  • Way to go! I wish you every success!

  • Comment removed

  • I think I love you Robert :D

  • Does this mean Dave are going to stop stealing the programmes we have paid for and making us watch adverts for the privilege?

  • Well done mr llewellyn, looking forward to catching up with the episodes i've missed on dave!

  • you should have an episode with someone driving you around! ^^

  • Thank you for your initiative and sharing your fun with us. Grats on your continued success with legs broken, etc.

  • Huge congratulations!

    Not knocking the news at all but will be interesting to see how the audience figures stack up between "Normal" and "New" media. A great real world comparison.

  • omg. Something apart from top gear on dave? i don't believe it. :P ahaaa. cant wait ;)

  • I am happy for you but also a little sad that you will have lost your independence and the ability to say what the fuck you want.

    I do wish you would let me write some better music for you though, seriously....

  • @NickTann I doubt they will use the intro music they have now as it's from apples sound track pro and would probably cost mucho money for commercial use

  • from little things big things grow .. I pinched that .

    congratulations !!

  • Well done Rob! I'll look forword to see this televised CarPool.

  • Aww brilliant job!

    You forgot to thank YOURSELF for making such an awesome effort, so I will thank you on your behalf :D

  • Comment removed

  • Congrats

  • Fantastic news!! Well done Bobby!

  • Huzzah! I had a feeling you might be aiming to take this to the networks, and Dave is the perfect place since their looking for new stuff to produce.

    I've just clicked like and so far 88 of us like this. 1 person does NOT like this. I wonder who any why they don't like this good news. Surely it's not a Mr J Clarkson? ;)

  • Not watched any carpool, but when you compare Dave, a 3rd rate full of reruns blocky compression freeview channel with the internet and call it 'proper telly' you show the ignorance of the media that your using. there are shows on youtube that get more views in there day of release than say emmerdale/coro/eastenders COMBINED

  • Congratulations! I have no recollection of the path that led to watching my first carpool (2/3 mnths ago), but I absolutely love it. I bought one of Oliver James' books because of his ep. I can't watch UK's "proper telly", but will keep up online. Thanks for making these wonderful episodes.

  • <---- Proudly watched almost every episode when they were released =D

  • I just got Freeview, I've now got Dave so that means I can watch it in October! Congratulations Robert!

  • Break a leg, Bobby!

  • congrats rob, I hope this is the start of "new media"/old media crossovers!

  • You sure have had some awesome people in your passenger seat!

    To bad you can't say "It's on the tube" anymore, since only the old and the poor still have that.

    I suppose "proper TV" will have to do. Oh well...

  • Fantastic Rob well done, your dedication paid off as I knew it would, you are indeed an inspiration! As I told you before your commitment to a project is infectious, and that’s what prompted me to approach you for Operation Bath Duck project, I hope my project will be just as successful!

  • Congrats!!!

  • Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing it on proper telly :)

  • congratulations Bobby, Carpool is a quality show and good to watch. Hope the TV version becomes the success it deserves to be.

  • Well done Bobby - you've certainly got "The Mazda Touch!" ;-)

    I've watched every episode of CarPool since day one - and enjoyed them all. Congratulations on getting your baby onto proper TV, and here's hoping the show becomes the mainstream success it deserves to be.

  • great news look foward to real telly

  • I hope the content won't get diluted in the future!

  • DAAAAAAVVVVE!!!!!!! :D

    Top Gear

    Red dwarf

    Now this

    best channel ever (L)

  • Now that I think about it it totally belongs on Dave. They love shows with cars. It'll be interesting to see if you start any more rants about Top Gear.

  • Gutted, i have Freesat HD, no Dave, :(

  • I'm so glad that this is going to be on freeview, it seems right that a groundbreaking show like this should find a home on proper telly just as the divisions between terrestrial and digital television collapse.

  • great news

  • Congrats Bobby. It deserves to be a huge success.

  • Cheers Bobby for the update. Kinda thought it would have been about going to TV, didnt guess the Dave part tho. Makes sense now that I think about it tho :-D.

    I don't mind waiting for a bit, long may carpool continue!

    If you have time please have a look at some of my vids, I would love you to autograph (leave a comment) one of them.

    From one Bob to another,

    And if you have been, thank you for reading.

  • Hope to see your show aired after one of the Top gear repeats. That would make my day.

  • Awesomeness go rob!

  • Congratulations! (Round of applause.) This is great news, hope the TV version gets the recogition of being the work of pure genius that it is. Good luck. : )

  • Carpool's on TV?? about time something good came on tv! good on you rob!

  • Well done, cant wait for transmission night on Dave - best have a bloody good first guest on that first night!

  • awesome news im downgrading to freeview soon so... i will be happy to see carpool on TV and on a freeview channel.... ^_^ and id like to say that its nice to see someone who thanks all his/ her fans, not everyine does it and i think that your awesome for being so greatful to all you subscribers and announcing it ...thankyou right back at you bobbyllew: thankyou for red dwarf, carpool and wet liberal ^__^

  • that's brillant, you jut know dave will end up showing it with red dwarf, a kinda bobblyllew night, i'd be surprised if they didn't. well done anyway , you should get the main person or group of people who have commisoned the tv version on it

  • Weee finally someone who appreciates Freeview (and non-HD) TV!

  • So glad to hear that CarPool will be on the real telly, knew it would eventually though to be fair!

  • Congrats!

  • HAPPHAPP - HUSSAH! :D

  • Carpool is a great segment, I'm glad you're going to be broadcast to folk in addition to us stellar people of the internet.

  • Great news about getting Carpool on 'proper telly' - it was bound to happen eventually. Can't wait to see it.

  • Word of mouth in the internet is amazing, just look at viral videos as an extreme, thank heaven for the "Subscribe" and "Share" button! In fact me thinks I'll use the second one right now...

    Out of curiosity how did you and Steven Fry ever get onto the subject of toilets?

  • I'm one of the Dave regulars, i'm sure your contribution will be as welcome there as it has been on the internet :)

  • Glad to see you've got it on the TV. Beats working for a living that's for sure. :)

  • I'm so pleased that it is coming to Dave, it suits the channel really well, can't wait for it!!! I will watch it!
