  • This is awesome! XD

  • Saw the advert for the show over xmas while I was back at my parents. Not got a TV out of choose but it looks like a good concept. Not tacky like most of the chat shows on. Good Luck with it.

  • BREAKING NEWS: FOXBUSINESS AND CNBC ANCHORS ARRESTED FOR ILLEGALLY MONITORING PRIVATE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS.

    THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW.

  • As funny as aids

  • consistant funny

  • I hope He gose to RUTLAND and SAILABILITY RUTLAND for ACCESS ASSOCIATION. We at BAADS and Challenged America will be waiting. Go for London 2012.

  • I almost piss my pants every time I see Ruby Wax's face when Rob floors the tesla! "Ohh...Ohhh..." Steady on Ruby, you'll make a mess on the seats!

  • nice! I hope it does great!

  • this was good. what the fuck is it?

  • I think it is primarily a video promoting car pooling.

  • Car pool

  • great video robert

  • Who's the cute blonde after Ed Bye?

  • who the fuck is this guy u guys are talking about

  • Jonathan's knees were around his ears in that car haha!

    I'd happily go for a spin in your super amazing knees-round-ears car :D

  • A studio, in his car! How brilliant is that?! Easier than green-screening the background to change. But the outside world can be such a distraction, Maybe if Robert had a van, and someone else drove it for him, while he interviewed a guest. And the windows were all behind them. Then they could keep their mind on whatever they started talking about. And not the upcoming roundabout exits. "Oi, turn off ere!" But still, it's got some promise. Does he only talk at red lights?

  • You should buy a Carbug for this.

  • That is simply the best idea EVER. You are a genious.

  • LOLz funny.I love red dwarf!!!!!

  • My fella is going to be so excited that I found you on youtube. Now I have to go back and watch the rest of your videos to catch up when I should be working. Tut Tut.

  • THANK you Rob for getting the comment about more Ashes To Ashes from him!

  • garrett's still a ponce

  • I can't wait for the new red dwarf episodes!!!

  • are you still driving a prius??

  • this is great! super idea.

  • eek busted mic, good content tho

  • very good concept - although I don't see you driving through the rain or snow or any foul weather...is it always sunny in London?

  • i want to see a fight to the death between cat and milton wordsworth. hmmmmm

  • Following you on TWITTER (Loving this-hope the technology get used to improve audio)

  • Comment removed

  • Have watched Car Pool, it's been really good so far. Have you tried sending this to the beeb? It would make a great 10pm show for BBC2 and would be cheap as chips to make, but it would be a really great watch. Send them the Jonathan Ross one, and they'll snap it up straight away i'm sure :P Just make sure he doesn't say anything that the Daily Mail might hate :-)

  • Agreed; plus the Ruby Wax Orgasm might help. The look on her face, :) hehe.

  • Trying to watch on high quality. There's no sound with the first blonde woman and no sound when Ed Bye is is the car:(

  • 7:45 ish: "You'll have to pay for something eventually...."

    Like when the battery pack needs replacing after 100 000 miles to the tune of $13 000. Great car but it's not going to save anyone any money just yet. (I'd still have one anyway!)

  • Comment removed

  • The bit with Arthur Smith is just hillarious, best one from the snippet :)

  • You should do these as Kryten!

  • Comment removed

  • I feel old now. Nigel Planer is grey, my God. Good to hear that there will be more Ashes to Ashes. I bet Ed was gutted when Ruby got a go in the Tesla and he only got the Prius lol

    Rob, can you give me a lift? I'll car share with you when you're driving the Tesla.

  • Fantastic!

    Tesla Time, Ruby Wax... If ever there was a way to explain to non-techies and Luddite petrolheads how the Tesla is a game changer in perception of "green" cars, that clip is it.

    A thought though, they reckon hydrogen fuel cells will usurp the battery as the future of powering cars. They emit water / water vapour yes? Has anyone calculated the amount of water vapour that would be emitted by a similar level of car use as we have now? Water vapour is the primary greenhouse "gas"...No?

  • Common by volume, but ineffective per unit mass. Plus you'd have to ask a scientist whether the extra vapour would actually stay in vapour form.... You could produce tonnes of water vapour without affecting the system, vs producing C02 which would have relatively large impacts.

    The thing with H cell cars is the energy used in making the compressed hydrogen. No point in sourcing THAT energy from coal burning power plants etc. Plus... difficult to make it cost effective.

  • Doesn't water vapour account for the greater part of the "greenhouse effect" with CO2 accounting for less than 1/4 to a half of the "effect". That's at current atmospheric concentrations, so surely replacing CO2 emission with H20 would be quite counter productive... no?

    Easily solved though I guess, condenser on the "exhaust" but then roads would permanently wet meaning more run off.

    I guess the question is "Does it scale?"...

    Interesting though.

  • Well we dont have a good estimate for %water vapour, because it varies, at the equator, at the poles, at different altitudes, and over time. But several estimates have it at around 2 - 4% of the atmosphere. So you'd have to add a lot to increase that. Compared to C02, which makes up only 0.0383 of one percent of the atmosphere by volume. So our output could be enough to affect the C02 significantly more than we could affect the % of water vapour in relative terms.

    But yeah, interesting.

  • Interesting question though, i wish people used that level of inquiry in all of their decisions.

  • This is the worst case of name dropping I have ever seen.. excellent vid.. :)

  • Fair do's, this looks entertaining. Especially liked Danny and Ruby Wax. Can't wait.

  • Hah loved the bit with Danny at the beginning :D

  • Whoa!!! You got Nigel Planer, Ed Bye and DANNY!!! Great little show- can't wait for the full episodes!

  • You very nearly gave Ruby Wax an orgasm or a heart attack. LoL.

  • Can't wait! I'm not watching the ones in the Tesla tho, I hate being told I have to go green, It's not ready yet. It would be like you watching Top Gear.

  • It's a great idea. Surprisingly open conversations happen in cars, after all.

    One slight flaw - the blonde woman who refers to Charles'n'Camilla isn't captioned?

  • Hah. I especially like the incredulous "so you're making more Ashes to Ashes...?" ;)

    Good luck with this - looks very promising.

  • Very cool

  • What is congestion charge? I live in USA

  • Basically you've got to pay to drive at peak times in London (I think 7am-8pm in the week, don't know about weekends).

    The idea is to cut down on pollution and get people to use public transport.

  • The congestion charge is a charge for driving into Central London during the work week, I think it's about 8 GBP per day. Mayor Bloomberg has considered doing the same for Manhattan.

  • will harris looks like he could be derron browns younger brother

  • This looks really good and it's helping the enviroment. Al Gore would be proud. I would love to hear Chris Barrie in Car Pool.

  • Lovely stuff!

    looking forward to this.

    All the best for the official launch of Llewtube :-)

  • Did you have to pay the congestion charge to film these car pool thinggys.

  • Great question, no I don't because I drive a Prius and they are exempt, same with the Tesla

  • Serious question - why are green cars exempt from the congestion charge? They still cause congestion!

  • Its because the congestion tax is really an anti city centre polution tax (or if you are paticularly jaded a "lets tax the living crap out of drivers who have already paid road tax, whilst looking like we're really being eco freindly, tax") To be honest it just moves the problem to the other parts of the city and is just another revenue source for local councils.

  • Its really good and looks like its gonna be really funny watching more, first reaction I got watching it was I wanted more time on each person... and the Car Pool sting repeated too much and was too long considering it repeated too much. I would rather see a "Car Pool" logo up in the corner to remind me rather than have the stings all the time. You never know this could get taken up by a TV channel. Do you get paid by Tesla to do this. I hope so. ;-)

  • All very good criticisms and I agree with every one. My only excuse was I did it too fast on zero budget with no help from any professionals. I like the idea of the car pool logo in the corner, and no, I don't get paid by anyone, although Tesla have said they'll lend me the car again. Thanks for comments

  • The traditional chat show format is pretty jaded - Car Pool is a nice new twist on a theme. You need to make it the celebrity show to be seen on..maybe by next year you will be driving Madonna and George Clooney.

  • oh i am really looking forward to this! looks like you got a good selection of people to ferry round london too. so how come jonathon & ruby got the joy of the tesla then? luck of the draw or what? loved the look on ruby's face when you accelerated!

  • Is this just for fun off your own back? Either way, I'm looking forward to watching!

  • Yes, this is for fun off my own back, I am determined to make online TV work and have been looking for a good format, I think this might work. Thanks for commenting

  • Oh yea! Looking forwards to seeing more. Especially Jonathon Ross :)

  • I think the audio needs work

  • Bring it on!!!!

  • Awesome job Bobby. Sort that sound issue and all the best to you. BBC 2 interested yet? Paul

  • This looks good man, can't wait for it to come out!

  • Sorry, it looks pretty interesting too!

    In spite of the audio...

  • Duno if it's these speakers, but the audio seems like the recording levels are really high for the passengers

  • Audio distorted here too

  • Cool idea for a programme, enjoyable video too.

  • I really enjoyed watching this. Well done! Can't wait to see more :)

  • yeah i want a telsa though not got the funds at the moment but would convert my current car into a telsa its just being bothered heh , hopefully this year we will see a good long summer :D

  • I can see that coming to BBC2. Great concept, well shot/edited (sound needs work, but I guess that's in hand) and enjoyable to watch. Not sure about the legalities of taking both your hands off the wheel while moving though... ;) Good luck with it Bobby; keep on truckin'!

  • love the Tesla!

  • looks good. looks really good.

  • Looks very promising. Looking forward to seeing this.

  • Looks good i think i can say you like that tesla .

  • oh lol. I want to see that.

  • is that the Cat and kryton

  • Looks Fab - looking forward to seeing more xx

  • From those little snippets this looks good :)

  • looks great, but please fix teh sound, its distorting and clipping too much, hurts the ears! lol. looks great!

  • Also, it's only coming out the left channel.

  • This was supposed to be a reply to crouts0's comment but it didn't.

    I posted that a bit early, the balance is OK after the first minute.

  • It looks like a fantastic show! I hope we'll get to see it in Canada (doubt it) but I seem to be the only one who doesn't know who the woman in the white outfit was...can someone fill me in?

  • Maria McErlane

  • C'mon Rob, nowadays even just two people in a car is a crime - you need to be Car Pooling 2 adults, two kids and a dog at the very least. If not your horrid carbon will choke my baby to death and I will cry.  Lie Mode cancel. Good stuff Rob, looking forward to seeing more of this, maybe some stuff in different cities - how about Portsmouth?

  • Can't believe you missed the legend that is Ed Bye from your tags!

  • great vidio great lot of celebs

  • Man, this looks really good. Well in!

  • Wow looks great. i cant wait

    you even got Danny John Jules (Cat from red dwarf).

    i really cant wait :)

  • looks great :) can't wait

  • Nigel Planer is awesome. i know him more for his recordings of the discworld books

  • wicked. Can't wait.

  • Quality

  • Wow robert this looks awesome!

    You got some interesting guests, i cant wait!

  • I'm certainly looking forward to the show, the guests are great and the Tesla is sweet. Any chance in future episodes of "Today's guest Electric Car is the..."?

  • Can't wait. Just subbed =)

  • Ferrari in London = pointless. He's just a poser. Not jealous at all, me.

    Series looks good - looking forward to it already.

  • Hah, that's nothing. I saw some idiot with a Cadillac Escalade in Plumsted.

  • awesome video robert

  • got some truncated waveforms there bobby, good content tho. ;)

  • You know Jonathan Ross. Sweet! Looks like it's gonna be a great series!

  • looks like a shit hot show bobby ;]

  • I bet there are people in the deepest of africa that know Nigel Planer as Neil :)

    "Morning has broken".... classic :)

  • Looks good, I am looking forward to it now.

  • great, i cant wait, and good music it suits the show and you. did you interview jonathan ross recently, and did you talk prank calls at all, because i think the whole thing was blown out of proportion.

  • great stuff, sort the gain out on your microphones though eh.

  • Top stuff, can't wait for the series. Would make a great radio show too, you should approach R4.

  • far out man, nigel planer

  • Cat was in his car, how awesome.

  • Ruby's face when you accelerate is a picture

  • Really interesting line up you have, looking forward to seeing car pool in the near future :)

  • aw..i really love your laugh rob...XD this looks gr8! :D xx

  • wow id love to see friday night with robert llewellyn and jonathon ross chat show

  • This is amazing! I'm so excited for the Nigel episode! And Danny. And yay for Mars and Ashes chat. Whoo.

    Question. Did you explain why the Tes has got it's steering wheel on the other side? Is that because it's an import? I didn't know people could legally drive in cars with the wheel opposite the side of the road you drive on. Sorry! I don't really know much about cars. I was just curious.

  • It's because it's american made (california I 'believe'. they all have left hand drive becaues they drive on the right (steering wheel tends to be on the side closest to on coming traffic). it's not illegal to drive a left hand drive over here but most people prefer Right hand drive. when it's fully released over here they'll probably do a RHD conversion (or possibly built RHD models) depending on what's more economically viable for them. :)

  • wow, typo's galore... but I'm sure you get what I meant :P

  • The one thing that may effect it being legal over here is the projected 'image' from the headlight 'dipped' beam... but they should have already thought of that. Also, the speedo has to read MPH over here too, but it's probably electronic and I would imagine is switchable.... I'll shut up now ;)

  • right,now i'm off to shoplift me tea

  • LOL :)

  • I'm quite interested with this, looking forward to watch them. It's really nice you putting some quality stuff out here, cheers Rob.

  • Speaking of traffic noise, I love how it is silenced after a snowfall. Don't know if this ever really happens in London.

  • Haha, brilliant, go Bobbyllew. Great idea for a series, comes with living in London or it's whereabouts I suppose!

  • Looking good Rob! Danny, Wossy and Ed Bye... will follow this for sure. Plus, is nice to see Ross back on something :) I thought the Tesla was £110,000 (but I guess that could have been Dollars). Did you see off any chav-tastic boy-racer cars in it ;)

  • Little hard on the ears. Try bringing your audio from the left more into the center, Bob.

  • YAAAYYY, ive waiting for car pool since you metioned it and now its here =] Cheers Robert very good

  • Looks good Robert!

  • Great stuff! I'll be watching all of those.

    5 stars matey boy.

  • This is such a great idea for a show. And there's no fakeness, no glamour, it's people having a laugh and having a chat. This really should be on TV, it's a brilliant idea.

  • i love Nigel Planer i saw him in wicked i was so close i could hav hugged him......i wish i did :(

  • man I LOVE this video format, really pleasant to watch these conversations. Far and above what I'm getting on blogtv these days.

  • Jonathan Ross! Was this before he 'quit' working for BBC?

  • Great one, rob.

    aside from sound and pictur problem, it looks great, nice cuts, very pro looking..!!

    comeing to Copenhagen again soon.??

    Lars

  • Did tesla just throw a car at you that you could play around in? :D..

    and darn it ruby looked like she enjoyed the acceleration abit too much if you catch my drift ;)

  • when is this on? and what channel?

  • Cars are for wimps......I get about by rocket off ebay.The russian gentleman said it was all above board and tax n tested.

  • I watched that twice. Ruby Wax looks like hard work, but with a good pay-off... I thought for a second she might slide off of the seat when you put your foot to the floor, she looked so excited! heheh!...

    Cheers, Bert!

  • even jonathon ross is coming across as intereting for a change ! theese shows look cool. can;t wait to see them .

  • ARTHUR SMITH!! CHRIST!!

    Bobby, you big old name-dropping whore, you! He's amazing. I could listen to him moan over a pint or three...

  • Can't wait! :D

  • This looks more and more fascinating, man. I can't wait to actually see you take llewtube live together with carpool. Loving Ruby's slightly orgasmic joy at the accelleration of the Tesla. ^_^

    I hope you get your sound gear sorted, though. It's quite jarring to get all that crackling in there. The content more than makes up for it, though.

  • i could not have hoped to say it better

  • Yay ! Danny John-Jules ! i look forward to seeing him in Car Pool ! .

    Jason .

  • Damn good lineup!

  • @DaveIsParamount Well, Ruby Wax appeared on RD, Arthur Smith of course (hilarious), Ed Bye! Did I miss anyone?

  • danny john-jules!

  • It looks like it's going to be a great and interesting series. I cant wait :)

  • Hey would you ever give Chloe Annett a ride. I really miss her.

  • Excellent. Danny just fills me with energy. Arthur is brilliant... Wossy... Nigel Planer!!! More more more.

  • I've been waiting what seem like 6 ice ages for this. :) Looks like you've got an interesting line up as well.

  • Glad you sorted out the distorted sound at the beginning, that was beginning to really grate. The rest of it is good fun...

  • So cool, Kryten and the Cat on Llewtube.

  • a couple of other red dwarf faces there as well!!! Anyone spot them? :)

  • 1. Arthur Smith (Backwards - I love that episode, especially on the DVD where you can play it in reverse). erskib = bitter backwards.

    2. Ed "the Big" Bye - director/producer

    3. Ruby Wax (Timeslides) - the one with Koo Stark as "me bird"

    Do I get them all? Do I get a prize?

  • No, you missed Danny.

  • @JackTraven2525

    "No, you missed Danny." No, I didn't - please read in context ("All comments" page keeps threads together). The question was who else apart from Kryten and the Cat from RD were on the vid.

  • That was just a 15 stone Maris Piper driving that Ferrari...

    Looking forward to it, Bobby.

  • Looks good, will be watching this!

  • Looks good Bobby.

  • This looks great Robert, yay Neil from the Young Ones, and Ruby Wax.

  • Oh and Danny John Jules

  • Thank you so, so much~!

    Every one of these people seams so interesting and I cant wait to see them all!

    You bring so much joy to my youtube life, Thank you so much!

    Also cant wait for your website!

  • is this like a websode thing your doing? if so im in!( as in watching it)

  • Fantastic! Can't wait :)

  • Looking forward to the series :D

    Tesla time.

  • my shadows looking fine !

  • hahaha what a team... okay team, this way!

  • Cool! I'm personally looking forward to Arthur Smith. Great down to earth funny guy. Looks like it's going be a great series Bobby. A great concept made better by a (mostly) fantastic list of passengers.

    How long will each Car Pool video last btw?

  • Did you film the Jonathan Ross episode before or after his phone call faux pas? Looking forward to seeing the series when it launches (when will be exactly?) anyway best of British and all than SH

  • Hey Robert, this is a fantastic series format; looks like it could be quite addictive.

  • Cool!! I look forward to seeing those videos.

    (Btw, you made me miss the actual moment of Obama taking the oath of allegiance. Curses! *shakes fist at screen*)

    ^______^

  • Danny John Jules AND Mr Llewellyn? Not gonna miss this for the world! :D

  • wow best birthday present ever!
