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.

Prof. Cox is DEFINITELY on my short list for people I'd love to meet and spend an evening talking with. Well done!

[@pnlruled]

Love it, Brian Cox 's first question to God, "Hang on a minute, if this afterlife really exists how do fridges work then?"

[@choda42]

"So if there's an afterlife, I'd have to reconsider the engineering design of fridges." Genius.

[@dougie1968]

Why?

[@melvert33]

Because how does the afterlife work in relation to the laws of physics a la fridge design.

[@gorgieboy10]

Wow. I am honestly stunned by this series. There has been such amazing conversations going on. Very well done. By the way loved you in Red Dwarf

[@PrototypeJames]

This was great to watch :D I could listen to Brian talk all day, also i can't get enough of his epic smile

[@greyareaRK1]

Driving through London while discussing quantum mechanics with Brian Cox sounds like a recipe for brain fusion.

[@CarolPrice4p]

i'd be willing; but can't drive

[@conorfrench6385]

Really enjoyed that. Thanks

[@DawsonMusicEducation]

Kryten 2X4B-523P and Brian Cox discussing physics. Love it..

[@thenodfather]

You could do a whole series with Professor Brian Cox, he is just fantastic to listen to.

[@geospectrum]

Another great interview. Bravo.

[@Alex_Khouri]

I'd just like to say that this is one of the most delightfully interesting and intellectually stimulating videos I've ever seen on KZbin. Thank you very much for your highly entertaining videos; I think the concept is fantastic, due in no small part to the calibre of your guests. Please keep them coming!

[@Lego6980]

Thanks. Really enjoyed this one

[@ironmaidyn]

Great interview, thankyou! I could happily listen to Prof. Cox all day!! :D

[@michealjohnny]

I really enjoyed this episode! Thanks mister, and keep on trucking!

[@davidglebe]

Why can't there be more people like Brian Cox, brilliant interview!

[@XdjdaleyX]

Brian broke the timeline continuum and turned an interview into a lecture!

[@RobMutch]

Great interview and great concept for interviewing. :o)

[@clairehughes6280]

Excellent thank you Robert

[@TheHulksMistress]

I so wish Brian Cox could be a guest star on an episode of Red Dwarf one day, as a character explaining the workings of some weird alien star you’re all headed towards….just for all the crew to be like “….nahhhhh you’ve no idea what you’re talking about” just before they plough into it And love this show, real shame you seem to have stopped doing it. Have just saved about 20 to watch. Best interviews I’ve seen

[@irishchick41]

hes just smiling the whole time, what a dreamboat. makes me want to learn so much m ore about everything.

[@jasondavis8886]

It's the smug look of an establishment shill, is all.

[@erosmangr74]

I have to say that I like this show. It's an interesting idea for interviewing people in an informal and also cheap way. I'm definitely going to look up some of the others. Keep it up!

[@stuartlnicol]

A brilliantly interesting interview and entertaining 30 mins Thank you!

[@gumunduringigumundsson9344]

Marvellous! Thank you.

[@theresechristiansen9769]

"Right" "right" "Wow" "right" "yeah, uh huhn." Other than "right" it was a joy to listen to and to watch as I remember being stuck in endless traffic jams on various British motorways. Thx to the uploader. I wouldn't see it on Oz otherwise.

[@snarevandamm]

best one yet in my eyes - i could talk quantum physics with Brian for ages. i love the theories and looking at the world in a different way... great vid Bob!

[@mingycomumbus167]

Born in 68? He's older than me! He looks like a kid.

[@pipster1891]

Was in the year above me at school. Had the school's biggest mullet.

[@karendegenerous8044]

Mingy Comumbus. 😀😆.....

[@JD_13]

Always a bonus while searching Brian Cox interviews to find one with Kryten!!

[@NiCoDeimus]

So - driving in Central London, navigating to a specific point, conducting an interview with someone you've just met and trying to comprehend particle physics. I'd have crashed the bloody car, so well done Mr Llewellyn! It's lovely to see an educator in action, and to see someone so happy to be educated. Bravo!

[@elektrotehnik94]

9/10 that was really nice and informative, contrary to my expectations

[@batmanofni]

Brian is just brilliant, could listen to him all day. Also Rob's great too.

[@justnotcricket]

Great show. How did i miss this. There really aren't many interviews these days that just talk about interesting things with interesting people, just a collection of anecdotes (most i assume are made up). Great to see the scrapheap challenge man again, i used to like him with lisa, they looked like they had a lot of fun. gratitude from an insomniac engineering nerd.

[@japhyryder66]

I just adore Professor Cox. He's brilliant but is so joyous about science, the world and the universe. It's very childlike and incredibly endearing. I'd love the opportunity to pick his brain.

[@Sari36YT]

right wow right wow right right wow wow

[@garymacmillan6401]

Not Robert's greatest hour.

[@lilianagaetani7658]

i read this before watching and now is all i hear

[@gaelyonnet557]

Sarithus 😆

[@davesneddonfilms]

still watching, still great!!

[@wnfcjkenvfj]

Well put sir!

[@NinjaNoobTurtle]

This is faaantastic :)

[@bistoha]

This is like an add on to his wonders series, glad i watched this.

[@deanjdk]

The speed of light bit at the end was brilliant

[@katewhiteside]

This is probably my favourite of them all.

[@Mancspark]

great interview, enjoy the whole concept, conversations in a car brilliant, why couldnt i have come up with that idea! Mr Llewellyn bring back red dwarf,scrapheap challenge is ace also!

[@acromel]

I hope Brian comes back periodically to give us updates on his work. I never get tired of his ability to express physics is in a way that even I can understand. He could be a British Feynman!

[@PaulSLambeth]

"One of our 20-odd tonne magnets jumped about a foot to the left" ... WHAT.

[@frogstamper]

Great vid, Brian's one very interesting guy.

[@chives2]

"fusion bomb, thats old, rubbish." so funny!

[@starbizzleable]

He's so smiley :)

[@IDann1]

I’m just discovering this here on KZbin,we need new ones ... 🤩

[@richardkocksworthy8423]

So cool too see him with the hand symbol in the thumbnail. You should have got Mr C.Charles in the back seat and had nice little gathering ;P

[@Emzo99]

That was really interesting. I'm going to buy his book!

[@SamuelDaram]

LOL! Robert Llewellyn has done well to focus on the driving as well as what Brian Cox had to say. Brilliant 30 mins.

[@zContagium]

This would be 100x more kickass with subtitles

[@MrDangermouse1980]

5:40 - Just sitting here chatting away... This is exactly why Carpool works so well, there's no agenda, the guests aren't plugging a new film or punting a new book (actually wait...), just a lot of very interesting, intelligent people from many walks of life with stories to tell having a pleasant chat with a genuine, interested and unpretentious host. I hope this series explodes into the popularity it deserves.

[@frankieroandMCR]

Can't believe I met this guy the other day, crazy stuff.

[@marshhen]

I find this enormously entertaining. As an artist with no science education, I appreciate the host standing in for me saying all the rights and wows...scientists must find us such dolts. I appreciate that Cox does not let on how ridiculous it must seem that non-scientists are so surprised and awed by what he knows to be the basic facts about the world.

[@1969Kismet]

I don't remember who said that but it applies perfectly: "By the time he'd answered me, I couldn't understand my own question anymore."

[@TheNova5]

LOL!! "wow" this just cracks me up. thinking about how Kryten and Cat used to talk about things in space as a 'squiggly thing' or a 'swirly thing' haha.

[@samcockerill5584]

Brilliant!

[@seanerson9459]

Again, not looking for Brian Cox, and simply blown away every time he speaks. Another brilliant mind, that sadly, not enough people know about or have the mental capacity to understand, try to understand, or even respect. If you can't fall into understand, try to understand, or respect with everything in life...why are you alive? His quote fits most KZbin comments: You can have your opinion, but don't have the right to be listened to!

[@squadmeta]

@carpoolUK ...and on a more positive note, i've only just discovered carpool and can't get enough of it, what a great idea this was, well done :) Content over form.

[@hiirscotty]

Many thanks for creating such a wonderful show, Bobby. Ignore the haters - they don't have anything close to your humility and dignity.

[@markshorrocks5056]

I love the theme tune...

[@michaelhope8899]

Mark Shorrocks I was just about to write this and then you beat me to it. It's just so calming, the whole show is calming!

[@cormyat07]

Don't let idiots get you down. These videos are brilliant. I wish we had more of this kind of stuff in America.

[@MaximusMingus]

Enjoyed that, thank you for uploading. Ignore the negative comments about not fully understanding all that Brian Cox says, I fail to fully comprehend a conversation with the Mrs about the weekly shop when Im driving :)

[@Cowinspace]

The comparison between an afterlife and a fridge was a piece of brilliance.

[@dumplingsmmm]

He is so great

[@pinnegubbe]

its so cool that i actually can understand everything mr. cox says! i love physics and space and omg.... i love science

[@janimates2204]

I should be sleeping but all ive done this past 10 hours is watch brian cox videos

[@syolelimited]

When I talk like this to people, talking about the amazing things I know about the universe, people get angry with me and want me to shut up :(

[@CakraDiaz]

we're on the same boat mate. Astronomy ftw.

[@drubber007]

That's because you're talking blabbering crap which there is no possible way to back any of it up. All just a theory dreamt up by scientists. Just like gravity.

[@GallopCrush]

I like more of this.

[@slowskeptic6833]

Almost looks like Penny is listening to Sheldon Cooper :D

[@terrytierney1]

Brian Cox is the greatest thing to come out of Oldham since my Dad!

[@higfny]

Brian Cox should do this a lot more. The public need to know a lot more about science, and he's the man to explain

[@Rachy91]

I love smart and funny people. I love how eloquent he speaks.I like the interview. I don't care about the right,oh, and yeahs but I'm sure none of us would really had anything to say either.

[@freejrs]

Brilliant bloke, super intelligent and can explain things so even Lister could understand!!! lol Cheers.

[@69whitechalkie]

behind all of the expectations....Mr Cox is a nice man.

[@ilovefacebookandebay]

I love the way Robert reacts when Brian told him he was in D:REAM."Oh,that was you?" He must have thought Brian had been the singer.!!!

[@ElMufro]

I watch this like once a month lol

[@cptmuska]

the part about denuclearizing astonishing me, i am a physicist. masters degree, and Brian thought me something new on a tv talk show. :) thank you sir

[@brod2man]

I wouldn't have chosen a car to conduct interview/conversations. I can barely comprehend questions asked to me while I'm driving a car. Impressive that he's driving and taking in information about concepts completely new to him

[@antiquax]

A guy working at CERN came up the world wide web and CERN was the first site live. That's a pretty good value add

[@AdeSwash]

Right, wow, I get it :) Good programme!

[@yuhuili2745]

Hello: dear professor BRIAN Cox: Tusen tack Du jobba hård för oss som livet jorden fantasik jobb med dina egna Kärleksfull och omtänksam!!=Du läser oss hur djup som möjligt och hur mycket vi kan anda otur till lycka!!:love you inom hjärta riktigt ge andra som vi kan =bästa väl ❤✋👍👍👍👍👍

[@SuperWayneyb]

He also played keyboards with a rock band called Dare. And the drummer was in a band with my Pal a long time ago.

[@SamuelDaram]

Love what Professor Brian Cox has to say about the "afterlife" 22:42

[@theDaoistBean]

Just throwing this out there...Brian Cox is Rogers Waters if he had found physics rather than his own self-obsessed story. Both are wonderfully entertaining!

[@the_black_rose3336]

All I kept hearing was "right". Then again if I was in a car with Brian Cox and he was talking all I would do is try to soak it in and say "right'.

[@MarkAtkin]

I like the bit at 25:37. "I'm not saying 'right' because I understand. I'm saying 'right' because I'm trying to understand."

[@davedarlage4421]

Never heard of this show so thanks to Seinfeld I have. LOL

[@lolabola3401]

Thanks for posting..and thank you Prof. Cox for you're sincere scientific explanations. I'm shocked at the lack of funding for physics research. It's simply scandalous! Substantially more GDP should be invested and in return the UK would lead the world in this technology and also make tons of $$.

[@Hannah_Em]

+Lola Bola Or perhaps more accurately, tons of ££ ;)

[@mattsmedley.onehandedgamin9029]

30:31, the question of god....... No, because of thermodynamics & if so then how does my fridge work. Give the man a round of applause 👏

[@srnicol]

"Is the galaxy going to fold in on itself?" Brian: "Nope". Me: LOL.

[@jibbajabbajam]

subscibed! :)

[@rustybits5342]

wow real Red Dwarf stuff

[@petepete381]

Very good :-)

[@DarrenStortz]

i just ordered his book off amazon

[@robyourtime]

Does the start of the theme tune remind anyone else of Band on the Run by Wings?

[@kimcason8764]

If Brian Cox ever needs a Taxi around Adelaide. I am up for it..!! My head would explode, but it would be well worth it..!! 😎

[@lazygamerz]

This isn't a bad show!

[@klanko64]

I love the intro music

[@DynestiGTI]

3:10 this was my exact reaction when I was told to think of Jupiter as a failed star. Had it got more mass, fusion could take place, and it would start to radiate photons, illuminating our sky just like the Sun.

[@gnaloin]

Brian Cox rules.

[@GarethJonesify]

Wasnt expecting his first line to be "Ive done snorkeling" lol
