An old school carpool featuring the charming and very clever Aleks Krotoski, presenter of Guardian Tech weekly podcast, psychologist and broadcaster, oh yes, and she plays beach volleyball.

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 used to serve her in Tesco, she was genuinely lovely - asking engaging questions; making me feel human for a spilt second of my 9hr shifts.

[@Paelolithic]

That was such a natural conversation, love it.

[@garply101]

I remember Bits - the first gaming magazine show I got into. Presented by three girls (Aleks Krotoski being one of course), which was unusual.

[@bertrach]

Yes, I had a massive crush on Aleks in those (Bits) days... and she is still as gorgeous as ever.

[@krashd]

Emily Booth aka "Bouff" is the one most males will remember. She was the British Felicia Day back in the late 90's.

[@laughingachilles]

Nah, I had a major crush on Aleks. Bouff was great of course, but Aleks is cute as hell. Not that we should forget Emily of course. Bouff did something I loved though, it was a sort of space battle film which was shot as a videogame.

[@Iamshawn53]

what a charming woman she is. also the interview in the car ,is unique. I like it!

[@oxogood9018]

loved Aleks on Bits in the late 90s early 2000's.used to get in about 1am and watch it after afew to many shandys,flop on the sofa eat some of my kebab and watch.

[@ilpalazzo3]

OMG! I haven't seen her in years! She's so cool. I had a real crush on her when she was on tv.

[@ologhaiofmordor]

Same here, Yvo. Dr. Krotoski is amazing and smart and personable and funny.

[@charlesjhemphilliii4792]

Oh Bobby that was fun. She was fun.:)

[@PaulDve]

This opening title sequence is allot better and catchier than the new one.

[@UppityMonkey]

Bits was great!

[@kalistalev]

These are just brilliant.

[@TonyDAnnunzio]

Loved her in thumbbandits

[@nexviper]

@thelleht You're not the only one. Both Bits and VideoGaiden were amazing.

[@JSYBen]

Aleks Krotoski comes across as a lovely woman. Would love to have a conversation with her. Who remembers her from Bits?

[@nexviper]

I loved this episode. I find social psycology and that sort of thing really interesting and often on my wanders of the net, I pick up on strange aspects of different online communities and their interactions within their group and with other groups. Being a "watcher" does sound creepy as hell, but having some anxiety issues I often find myself doing it a lot as opposed to being in the middle of things taking part.

[@GuanoLad]

Wow. She's delightful! I'm smitten.

[@johngreenwood1972]

Love her.

[@Yvo19]

She's one of my favourite people alive.

[@TygerTyger2010]

For the record, concerning volleyball in Scotland: I have Played volleyball on a beach in Scotland in hot sunshine.... Once.... In the late 80s. Also a few times on grass.... Since then Scotland has mostly been Little Siberia :D

[@EdelicaDigital]

Scrapheap challenge and Bits. -sigh- What happened to my youth!

[@coys77]

One of the best Carpools! Everything just seemed more relaxed and engaging..The comment about turning the rooter off made me laugh; must be a generation thing as my dad turns the rooter off; surely they are meant to be left on 24/7?

[@casb-]

The Virtual Revolution was a really good series.

[@andynixon2820]

I like her she's great .

[@avysark2034]

She is the way she looks, just lovely. I didn't know of her really til now and clicked only because she looked smart and fun, which I can happily confirm. An interview I enjoyed very much. ❤

[@kitchenaut]

She seems very cool.

[@RohanTheTeaLover]

Another interesting person to follow in some form or other. Probably by subbing to the Guardian tech podcast... Thanks! :)

[@joshuasmith7369]

I wonder if she remembers the commodore 64.

[@DeaconTaylor]

another passenger who i was positive was younger than me. she must share the painting with chris addison

[@Deadpixel1984]

red dwarf

[@martyboyish]

so what is this tv show about seems like an interview in a car

[@Chewy0424]

When's this episode from?

[@255ad]

@CSTATB if a but optimistic you should P.S if you wont some cynicism perhaps this you tube video "This Internet Decade" might be worth a watch

[@Reverands]

Google her, google Booth and Dunn.

[@TonyDAnnunzio]

He sounds like kryton

[@folksurvival]

Because he *is* Kryten.

[@TonyDAnnunzio]

unlockthepower no he isn’t looks nothing like him

[@folksurvival]

TheManJordo Stop lying please.

[@TonyDAnnunzio]

[@folksurvival]

Why do you keep lying?

[@anonUK]

I think you're protesting a bit much... how exactly does she look like a man, gay or not?
