These two should have taken over Top Gear from Clarkson and the boys! It would have been epic!

[@fourkinhench2744]

Omg you know it.

[@dragonmaid1360]

Oh so true

[@TheTurnipKing]

That... might actually have worked.

[@Agui007]

Has either of them been on TG?

[@1ListerofSmeg]

This comment is underrated.

[@spierbandia]

Imagine if Chris Barrie took over hosting Top Gear...

On tonight’s program The stig drives starbug though deep space Lister tests the new rang of latest family spacecraft And I (cris Barry) organise my paper clips

[@Tiresias55]

Always was a massive Chris Barry fan, Arnold Rimmer was always my favourite character on the smash hit Britcom Red Dwarf. Despite his utter smeggyness as a character, it's the glimpses of a tragic figure who could be redeemed that made me fall in love with that persona. Just a phenominal actor and comedien, with a great amount of intelligence. I'd love to meet him. Smoke me a kipper, i'll be back for breakfast.

[@jamesdunlop9678]

Red Dwarf, best comedy in the world. FAN SMEGGIN TASTIC

[@soeffingwhat]

Hard to believe its still going after starting in 1988. But that's what winning comedies do. The Formula is great. I head Holly might be back in the next series.

[@spikespiegel5878]

Today I have become a Chris Barrie fan after watching The Brittas Empire and then checking him out on you tube What a intelligent lovely man

[@jerseydevs2000]

Rob: "So you're not really impressed by the new model (Jaguar)?" Chris: *does classic Rimmer squint and nose flare*

[@ChippyGaming]

I just love when he says 'I do stuff and I'm just like, wait a second, that's not me. That's fucking Kryten'

[@DisneyDancer1990]

Red Dwarf GPS needs to happen. Because oh my goodness, it's amazing.

[@rum-inspector]

From my previous experiences with GPS, I imagine it in the voice of Holly: "Make a right hand turn." *you turn right* "or was it a left hand turn? Yes, it should have been a left hand turn."

Robert Llewellyn and Chris Barrie both doing Kryten at the same time - brilliant! In a manner of speaking...

[@scottiegirl2041]

Oh my god, Chris is actually an amazing impressionist! Check out 15:48!

[@liamoneill7139]

I had an audiobook of a red dwarf novel where he did ALL of the voices, was actually scary how good his impressions were, you totally forget it's just him on his own

[@Terranova667]

ScottieGirl20 Chris did voices for spitting image back in the day so yeah doing impressions was his thing before Red dwarf came along.

[@scottiegirl2041]

Terranova667 Yes, and if you haven't, you should see the outtakes for Red Dwarf (particularly Series 6 I think it was). His Kenneth Williams impression is comedy gold!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

His impersonations of the cast are superb.

[@Nettsinthewoods]

Absolutely, he’s very funny and very talented. Remember Mr Flibble? He built a whole new character in red dwarf.

[@bodieofci5418]

I love Chris Barrie. His shows on ships and aircraft are great. And he's funny. Robert is a great host.

[@MikeKobb]

What a treat! Chris's impressions were brilliant.

[@Mark_H101]

Yeah, Rimmer was always my fave. I like a man who always has a pen.

[@CS9_]

Really? Huh. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i guess.

[@Amateurgamersedgie09]

Robert should do one of the episodes where he has all of the Dwarfers in the car now that would be pretty awesome.

[@jamesgriffin7962]

DIPPOTATCHIP GAMING! Turning carpool into red dwarf it would still be awesome

[@Dr_Wrong]

Starbug v Prius..

[@ocerg1111]

I love this show so much because its really like sitting in on a conversation, instead of the scripted, promotional chats on a chat show. Its like being one of their friends just along for the ride!

[@justliam2768]

Smashing knitwear, chaps!

[@Mojosbigstick]

What comfy looking jumpers.

[@JenifAR87]

Chris Barrie.... Oh there is so much love from me to you.

[@VindicatedLife]

Chris' "dad jumper" is the cutest damn thing i think I've ever seen

[@HappyOddGirl]

I just smiled all the way through this. What a lovely couple of fellas. :) Gotta love the Boys from the Dwarf. :)

[@joesnow7216]

I wish he had done Ace Rimmer as the voice of the GPS.

[@gringotom242]

Chris Barrie does a better Kryten voice than the actual Kryten!

[@borimirtheboring]

Robert Llewellyn does an amazing Craig.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

Well Chris was an impressionist before Red Dwarf, for spitting image

[@douglundquist2855]

boromirtheboring I always thought Robert was American until I heard him speak off the show . amazing how he can change accents

[@emmajane2128]

watch the smeg ups, when he messes up a line he goes back to his british accent and it really makes your head spin!

[@jasperedwards3341]

sounds like a right toffee nosed twatt

[@DaveKovalComedy]

when you live in north america, every time you see cars hurtling towards them on the "wrong side" your heart skips a beat

[@TinaThompsonPlayingtheField]

Chris Barrie's insight on how English neighborhoods that were built in the 50s, the developers didn't anticipate that the roads would have to support as much traffic as they do now is in sync with what I say about LA freeways--when they were designed, was no one actually living here?! They certainly weren't built for LA traffic: the real hell on wheels.

[@LoneCloudHopper]

I was a huge fan of Spitting Image as a kid and Red Dwarf is my all-time favourite comedy! Chris Barrie is one of the best comedians out there, in my opinion. I always felt, personally, that Barrie brought the most to each of those shows (more than the other actors.) Much of what he does is subtle, but it's those little details in his acting that make him so interesting to watch. Just the way his eyes sharpen in tension or he frowns like a sad little boy while lowering his head, as Rimmer. Love it!

[@justliam2768]

Yeah, fully agree. Just working my way through all the Red Dwarf series for the umpteenth time, and I had never noticed before just how many subtle little nuances Chris incorporates into his performance. You see the other actors occasionally dropping out of character or switching off when they're not delivering their lines, but if you keep your eyes on Chris, he just doesn't stop!

[@SevenEllen]

+Just Liam Yeah right! I remember noticing the more subtle, insecure expressions and little motions he made during Dimension Jump when Lister's talking about how one single change in Rimmer's childhood could result in completely different people. He's just great at showing Rimmer's vulnerable side.

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

Chris Barrie is an incredible impressionist! He has the whole cast of Red Dwarf down perfectly! And I love Robert's laughing!

[@sarahquince9098]

I love Chris Barrie, he's great :) Met him quite recently, and he's such a nice guy. Completely and totally not a smeghead in real life :)

[@theradgegadgie6352]

Sarah Quince You missed an opportunity there to say.... "What a guy...."

[@camelotbabe93]

I loved the impressions Chris does it's made my day! All four Dwarfers.

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

Chris is a legend his Kryten is spot on!

[@embee3178]

LOL they're talking about how Chris isn't like Arnold and it's so cute because um he is remarkably similar. Great stuff all round.

[@kitkat70703]

I've met Chris Barrie! I fangirled so hard

[@douglundquist2855]

Ditzy Director ur pretty frigging lucky dude. rimmer is one of the funniest characters ever. "Arnold, where's the nappy sacks"

[@xgenesysx]

I'm so jealous. Is he a nice guy? He seems like a lovely guy. Rimmer for life.

[@sarahquince9098]

+xgenesysx Yes he is :)

[@SteveJones313]

I keep forgetting Chris was an impressionist. Brilliant ^_^

I'm not really into most of my family, so I tend to adopt, through fantasy, substitute family members. I have just adopted Uncle Chris. Strangely enough, the most sensible of my adopted uncles.

Lovely Renault 5 Turbo in the studio car park.

[@DDay12G]

Haha, I always wondered how Llewellyn did his lines as Kryten without cracking up at them, and now I'm even more curious cos he seems like such a giggler xD This was awesome, thanks for uploading :3 Quickest 20 minutes ever

[@astonmartinbond0075]

Rewatching this in 2017! This show is just fantastic. I feel it is about time for it to come back ;)

Chris has an unmistakable streak of Alan Partridge in him... and I agree with every single thing he says! :)

[@dogsnoses]

Kryten and Rimmer. Great stuff.

[@TemplePhantom]

This was a great idea for a show.

[@Olagfigh]

I hope Ace will be back for breakfast :)

[@chickenwings998]

I love the fact that all them people are driving and walking past the car and don't even realise how close they are too some famous actors (famous enough) hehe

[@markdp1983]

Master of the wit and the repartee!

[@50ShadesOfFrey]

I loved The Cat impression! xD

[@TheNova5]

Awesome!!

[@imaniguana]

I love these guys. The input sensitivity on Bob's mic was set too high. I guess they fixed it in subsequent episodes.

[@gwishart]

They employed a much simpler technical solution, they just put it further down his seatbelt.

[@MSecYT]

That awkward moment when Lister and Cat are tail gating them :D

[@seanfitz79]

Krytens impression of Craig Charles is spot on

[@velveetaslingshot]

I might never get to meet them in my lifetime, but this was the next best thing!

[@loopyfrog]

he plays Rimmer that well because he is a proper good actor

[@lorddagoth893]

Loopy Land thats absolutley true

[@EquinoxParadox91]

Chris's jumper is awesome. Robert's laugh is awesome. This show is awesome.

[@WidowUK]

I would love to meet Chris Barrie one day, as a fellow mechanic/engineer who has spent there life repairing cars, I now spend my time restoring old machinery from my garage at home. I hate the modern car they are a mobile PC on wheels these days and have no real horse power like the older cars.

[@msmills3030]

He would love to meet you, too an spend time with you in your garage.

[@WidowUK]

Your not funny

[@nDndAd]

And if something is wrong with a new car, it's usually electronic which you can't even diagnose unless you have a diagnostic computer worth a king's ransom. Long gone are the days of the shade tree mechanic and that's rather sad. :(

[@msmills3030]

WidowUK I am dead serious, I wasn't trying to be funny. He does not like new cars (I met him once and we discussed it). He thinks new cars are repulsive. I read he had a friend who was working on a car and he would drop by to see if the friend needed help. I honestly sincerely believe he would want to assist you with any old car you were working on.

[@1nterwebs]

Could listen to Chris Barrie all day.

[@witchywoman2008]

Carpool is brilliant haha!

[@fraserkatie]

I love the impressions they are doing of Red Dwarf! LOL Hilarious! The best is the Kryten Impression!

[@rhythmandblues_alibi]

Ikr?! Chris sounds more like Kryten than Robert! 😅

[@Stratoszero]

16.00 on makes me wish we'd see more of Chris on TV these days, what a talent.

[@magicalbra]

This is ace, I love the bit about the Prius XD

[@mrsdisneypreg]

Love the voices at the end!

[@HostilePottery]

HOLY CRAP I just realised that you played Kryten!

[@s1rmunchalot]

What a revelation! I never saw Chris as a James T Kirk. Talent really can be brutal. Props . Rob... n.. that Liverpudlian. Sound. Kensington guy.

[@Taliesynful]

Is it wrong that I still find Chris Barrie gorgeous?! lol

[@Skymouth]

Brilliant! Love you guys! Boys from the Dwarf!

[@NicksANerd]

I love watching this when Rob carpool's the other cast member's of Red Dwarf because you see how good friends they all are....Can't wait for the new Series LONG LIVE THE SMALL ROUGE ONE

[@markfox1545]

Why do you believe that apostrophes play a part in plurals?

[@ashmckinlay1402]

Wow the starbug cockpit has changed so much in this season!

[@danielwilliamson6180]

This is actually a good concept for a hidden camera interview show on TV.

[@ThalassTKynn]

I'd be interested to see what Chris thinks about the iMiev, or the Tesla Roadster.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Chris's Cat impersonation at 16:16 is hilarious.

[@Yunners]

I honestly believe Chris should have been considered as David Tennant's successor.

[@greyareaRK1]

Excellent. Loved the impressions.

[@leocor42]

I would totally watch a one-man show version of Red Dwarf where Chris Barrie plays everyone. 😂

[@pdj8484]

Possibly the best reply I've ever heard!

[@lfrohling]

Wow! He's so good at voices!!

[@richteabickit]

I cannot believe that Chris was talking about going 'up the greasy pole' when talking about career! Up, up, up the zigguraut - likety split!

[@TheTurnipKing]

5:22 The C5 was an idea WAY ahead of it's time. It's more of a scale model of what car companies would be doing in 2018 than an actual roadgoing vehicle.

[@OXYOXYOXY444]

ah boys you had me in tears THANKYOU its been a shity day until now

[@nakilarimmer9896]

GO CHRIS BARRIE!

[@blessedbygoddess]

I liked how Chris did the voices of the characters from Red Dwarf. :)

[@Parknest]

Chris Barrie's fleet of classic cars (he mentioned his Triumph TR2) are more "green" than the Prius.

[@Mabbio01]

great memories growing up laughing at these guys

[@oneshotpaddy4604]

Podcasts were originally audio only, but it gives people something to look at if they want.

[@rainbowsalads]

Would have been a funny sketch, if they had to get out the car in the housing estate, and Chris asked Bobby to take the front and the rear, like in DNA . : )

[@kickboxerforever00]

ARNOLD J RIMMER lol love these guys rimmer and kryteee haha :)

[@LittleNerd]

Haha! Noo I love the Sinclair C5! I used toplay on them at a certain leisure park, when I was little. There's an enthusiasts group and they go on day trips - all zooming along in their Sinclair C5's! Awh! There's something very lovely about Kryten & Rimmer going for a gentle drive in their jumpers.

[@boatjohn1]

the entry music is very sublime

[@ash7324]

Chris Barrie is as charming as Rimmer always thought he was haha

[@mickenoss]

5:35 you wouldn't beleive how many times I've almost been run over by an electric car (postie). And I can't imagine Robert as anyone but Kryten =)

[@newtonianromance]

how good is chris barrie :D

[@JallenMeodia]

It's on his IMDB page. Top Gear. Episode #2.2 (2003) So it's one of the early episodes of the new Top Gear, they don't tend to get repeated as often.

[@GAZArts]

love this show, love the concept and love Bobby & Chris!

[@MsShakeshaft]

it would be amazing if you could get the 4 of you in car pool at the same time!
