  • A lovely ride from the BBC to the QI studios beside the Thames in the company of the spectacularly clever Mr Stephen Fry.

    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.

    Who is Robert Llewellyn?
    He's really good! I don't think a lot of people could talk to Stephen Fry, David Mitchell and Duncan Jones and be as interesting as them!
    He doesn't suck up to them, the conversations don't feel contrived, and he just has amazing chemistry with all of his guests!
    I'm a fan!

    @Babsan11 The other man is Robert Llewellyn, he is a writer, actor and TV presenter in the UK. He has been performing regularly since the early 1980'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.

Of course Stephen could have done that, but it would have been a bit unfair on him.
