Craig Charles | Carpool

This week in the passenger seat is a very familiar face, fellow Red Dwarf actor, Craig Charles.
Carpool Podcast on iTunes @ bit.ly/CarpooliTunes
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.

Red Dwarf is the best sitcom ever. Its FANSMEGGINTASTIC

[@lauraleecreations3217]

I agree!!!

[@markmathews2143]

Out of all the stars, for some reason it is the crew of Red Dwarf that I want to meet one day. Just sound like a genuinely great group of people to talk to, very down to earth.

[@georges4612]

I’m exactly the same! I’ve been dying to meet them, and I’ve heard many great stories from online friends who’ve met them. Here’s to hoping once this COVID mess is finally safe enough, there’s a chance somewhere to meet them.

[@MikeWilsonBarrett]

I love it that as soon as the program starts Craig sparks up hahaha

[@jasmineolivine]

bobby's laugh is so genuine. you can tell how much fun he has when he gets to see one of the boys..

[@lewissmith3896]

Yeah. One of the brotherhood.

[@CaptainFrantic]

This is definitely one of my most favourite CarPools ever. Craig is just so funny and natural and he brings a different Bobby out of you ... in a good way. Great Synergy. *****

[@danielwilliamson6180]

2:05 Trivia: In Red Dwarf Series 2, there was a scene that was cut from "Thanks For The Memory" which a drunken Rimmer tells Lister, Cat and Holly that he once tried to get in the space Freemasons but they wouldn't accept him.

[@RachelTheVlogger]

Craig and Rob have a lot of chemistry :). Bless em.

[@neatodd]

Watching this in 2024 in glorious 240p. They look so young 🤗🤗

[@DMEB]

14 years later and Red Dwarf is coming back!!

[@JoshChild11]

that freemason idea is actually a great story idea

[@jacobmassey3897]

That should be revealed in the shows finale. Lister was only in isolation for 3 weeks in reality 😂

[@greyareaRK1]

Other than Fully Charged and Robot Wars, this is the first I've seen of the Red Dwarf cast outside of the show. It's very charming. Craig Charles is amazing - witty and relaxed. The banter is great. Awesome concept Robert. Just wish I was a bit better with British accents.

[@squalloogal]

Rewatching 27th April ‘24 (Australian TZ) after watching the one with Chris Barry. Was reminded of them now that Robert has started doing his new KZbin livestreams

[@Dresdentrumpet]

Wow I am glad I found this. Its great seeing two from Red Dwarf just chatting. What a wonderful idea you had to do this carpool. Thank you from an American Red Dwarf fan.

[@ClareGC]

There's a second episode of Carpool with Craig Charles in on here as well! I realise that's probably blindingly obvious to everyone, it's just I somehow got it into my head that the new episode was just a high definition revamping for TV. I'd hate for even one person to miss out on enjoying them both.

[@MatthewDavidParr]

I love Craig Charles, he's the embodiment of the coolest guy possible.

[@MEADVICE]

With the leaps and bounds in technology, CGI or animation could bring the red dwarf books to life as a trilogy of films

[@georges4612]

Here’s to hoping!

[@beachcomber2008]

I could watch a full-time non-stop version of this for ever.

[@lewissmith3896]

For hours on end, yeah.

[@MarcusVowell]

Good God, these two. That's a podcast I'd listen to every second of.

[@Lawh]

I saw a car pool episode before watching red dwarf, and I liked it, now after watching red dwarf I can enjoy this even more.

[@gmann6269]

I think Robert has taken some episodes off this channel because there was another Carpool episode with Craig Charles.

[@swanvictor887]

Amazing how much better Video quality is today! The footage looks like it was shot in the 80s lol.

[@OrangeSodiePop]

Thanks Robert, this one is my favorite :)

[@pigknickers]

3 weeks later they both look 5 years older ~LOL

[@davemcg2344]

Really enjoying these coming to them many years later.

[@kuqi320]

"could of had the last bad of pic n mix" ha ha i love it!

[@ewanfleck]

What a guy.

[@Lady_Jay]

i could watch you 2 all day i just loved this

[@EForrest88]

dear god, 2009 and I can remember when this was first uploaded! XD

[@lukasmik37]

I've never seen this Red Dwarf episode...

[@jemzilla]

Love it! thanks : )

[@comface]

Nice to this finally uploaded on youtube!

[@rorypenty]

Whether or not a paid interview, these two just click. Great

[@kkrispy2009P]

Lovely vlog

[@jimmyrich1]

absolutely brilliant. i'll finish watching this later! *****

[@them3280]

I was looking for this haha Lister and Keyten

[@martinpotts]

Thanks for this, it is an insight into the background of working in the media industries. Cheers.

[@JimboEarl]

this is great stuff for the red dwarf fans :) nice work guys!

[@SnackToxin]

Brilliant as usual.

[@Headbanger142]

Happy birthday Craig!

[@RBEO22]

Time has been kind to Craig.

[@themalloys]

BRILLIANT... I used to work by Shepperton Lock and used to walk from the station to the lock which they drive through on the first few minutes... thats great!

[@TheDensley7]

Very well said.

[@Takaouto]

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard at a carpool vid. I almost cracked a rib. XDD Well done, Mr. Llewellyn!!

[@LyingSecret]

This made me laugh far more than it probably should have.

[@Last_addam]

i love that whole freemasons handshake idea, and everyones still alive behind the door, watching the four dwarfers as kind of a reality tv show

[@JohnDoe-vy6ju]

as soon as Craig Charles started in with a synopsis I wanted to watch the episode

[@stevenstratton4785]

Go 'ed lad!!!! I'd love to have a session with him (of recreationals....) !!

[@whitepuredove]

Brilliant

[@shadowthehedgehog330]

Luv carbug from back to earth!

[@Monkofmagnesia]

Love your theme song.

[@estherinharlem]

This is a funny video. I love Craig Charles. You are one of the best Bobbyllew

[@ronniemcnuggit9718]

I haven't touched a cigarette in ten years,but the way craig smokes makes my toes curl. God I want one so fucking bad now I also want to kiss him but that's neither here nor there

[@lewissmith3896]

Don't take that risk Ronnie.

[@rhondacannon7447]

I love Craig Charles he's very funny

[@MsLeebee2]

love red dwarf tfs

[@Lawh]

It's on every Thursday, and you can find them as torrents online to download them!

[@carpool]

@CHANNELOMD Very interesting point. Obviously many people have commented about Craig smoking in the car. It is not in fact a paid interview, so in the strictest sense it is not a workplace. That said, I now wouldn't allow anyone to smoke in the car, this was recorded over a year ago.

[@annother3350]

So you've turned smoking nazi. Bowed to pressure from the anti smoking wazzocks. Deary me

[@annother3350]

@Lenny McLennington There is no evidence of an increased risk of cancer -- he's just trying to appease the ant smoking lobby

[@annother3350]

@Lenny McLennington no, I meant 2nd hand smoke -- the jury is out -- nobody has died from 2nd hand smoke

[@annother3350]

@Lenny McLennington Your body odour makes the car smell like shit. The CDC is a totally corrupt organisation and that is not a peer-reviewed scientific paper

[@geoffkirk4956]

so james corden stole krytens carpool idea

[@LeonASinner]

"Smeeeeee heeeeee?" "a complete and utter one"

[@rascal452]

Yes guys, Leeds IS amazing

[@themarcrpearson]

have the episodes that you guys are talking about been broadcast yet?? Love the vids btw

[@kevmud]

Literally spoke to Craig about this 10 minutes ago.... he said he knew nothing about this... Robert was just picking him up from the airport and sprung it on him. Robert you genius!

[@lewissmith3896]

I know.

[@markfox1545]

'Literally spoke'? So...spoke, you mean. Moron.

[@marcustrelle4898]

What happened to the HD Craig Charles one they did later?

[@georges4612]

I sincerely hope I can meet all four of the RD men one day. I miss them so much on my TV, man...

[@blackIce504]

we need more red dwarf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DolphinDivePro]

Yup, especially the one they made up for the return series made up as a car!

[@LittleNerd]

Red Dwarf stage show! Haha hecks yes! That'd be totally brutal.

[@alligatoruk]

Red Dwarf Play or Musical would be amazing. Please make it happen!

[@douglasalfseike3867]

The freemason jokes got me!

[@mooturtil]

i actually watch the stage play of red dwarf!

[@KymRyan]

Good video :)

[@carpool]

I am always interested in comments like yours. There;s a very popular series of myths about hybrid cars which have been encouraged by certain parts of the press. Chemicals used in manufacturing cars are harmful, any new car has a toxic trail no matter what powers it. A hybrid car uses considerably less gasoline once it is made. If you look at the overall lifecycle of a hybrid, it's impact is massively reduced. If you do the same with an all electric car, the impact is miniscule. Gas is dead.

[@zombieregime]

i read this in the kryten voice and almost fell out of my chair laughing. i love this shows format. screw the naysayers, thumbs up mate.

[@YTRulesFromNM]

I want to see a Chloe Annett carpool.

[@beachcomber2008]

Definitely.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Me too.

[@Picnicl]

I just want to see her in a swimming pool on Krytie TV.

[@bobbyllewellyn]

I love your comment. The fact that you can live in a world where 'the Toyota Prius doesn't work' when it has just been announced that it's the best selling car in Japan is a special skill. Of course it works, what a bizarre thing to say. It's a bloody car, it goes along the road, what's not to work?

[@tubalooney]

slight paradox for me... enviromental car etc all very laudable then Craig Charles chucks his cigarette but out the window :-( hmm by the way I thougth the interview with Paul Scott was great and reminded about the tragedy of the EV1 except it kept stopping after 5 mins... I still think electric cars are the future!! Hydrogen dead end plug in hybrid probably a good compromise. I run my car on used cooking oil! Kind regards

[@AJoseph0007]

OMG please make the FM idea work. LOL for real!!

[@drh463]

He throws his cigarette out of the window at 4:49. LOL

[@mantistoboggan5171]

16:38 nice parliament reference!

[@marthastubbs8321]

Where'd the other craig eoisode go?

[@AngryWomble]

Red Dwarf stage show????? YES PLEASE!!!!!

[@TemplePhantom]

2 dislikes are smeee heee's

[@Kris_T_]

8 years later, theres 14 Smeee Heee's now

[@aimeestorton8072]

yes Leeds

[@phantomsidious2934]

Where did the other video of this go? Can't find it anywhere?

[@85priesty]

Just discovered where the lie from WILTY came from...haha

[@richbuilds_com]

Everything built in the 70's looks like Poland. True that! :-D

[@carpool]

@CHANNELOMD Very amusing comments, I do in fact know some firm breasted heterosexual women who are very concerned about things like climate change and the massive waste of natural resources caused by big inefficient cars. Anyway, when this was recorded, no one was being paid. In fact the opposite, it was costing me money! Also, Craig is nowhere near the brink, he's really sorted his life out, he's working on Coronation street and he's very happy. Watch carpool on Dave next Thurs, Craig is on

[@y_ffordd]

In fairness I wasnt allowed to stay in the mailbox either, holiday inn is the way to go down that way, the travelodge in the centre is ok but parking looks like a bombsite, which is fine for hire cars, the radisson Blu similar to the Travelodge.

[@lewissmith3896]

This is genius.

[@HooDlymUK]

I hope so.

[@redbaron474]

17:33 gps (which sounds like Holly) "U-turn at the round-a-bout" ROFLMAO!

[@thebeeskl]

What? They're driving from the Warren Lodge hotel in Shepperton village square (where I guess he was staying) to Shepperton studios where they were filming Red Dwarf. They drove a little bit longer round back on themselves. You can see my house in this video.

[@kickboxerforever00]

5 Smegheads dont like Red Dwarf

[@HappisakVideos]

Let's get out there and twat em! ;)

[@kickboxerforever00]

RustiSwordz hahah love it mate :)

[@MrLiamHenderson]

Call it extreme, but I think we should hit them with a major, and I mean major, leaflet campaign.

[@HappisakVideos]

Brick Top Are you quite sure.. it does mean changing the bulb! :D

[@MrLiamHenderson]

RustiSwordz There's always some excuse isn't there? I want to go to red alert!

[@therealdealsteveneal]

I think I'll be moasting from now on! Thats a great idea :P

[@prpwnage9296]

Is that Holly on the sat nav?

[@DDay12G]

I'd so love a Red Dwarf satnav :D Gonna follow you on twitterrrr

[@Phoenix412T1iron]

SMEG !

[@screwthenet]

RED DWARF.....FOR EVVVvvERRRR

[@MsCreepyChan]

hey, me and Craig have the same phone... or at least he had the phone at the point this was made as the phone i currently have... it's a good phone.

[@knux5998]

Dave lister!

[@Mbencey1990]

think he is referring to this "In July 1994, Charles and a friend were arrested and remanded in custody for several months on a rape charge. While in prison, Charles was attacked by a man wielding a knife. In March 1995, both men were acquitted in their trial. After being cleared, Charles spoke of the need to restore anonymity for those accused of rape

[@Lawh]

No, it's just that most people don't live where this show is broadcast.
