Carpool is a web series presented by English actor and comedian Robert Llewellyn. In each episode he interviews a guest while giving them a lift in an eco-friendly car (normally a Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle). The guests are often well-known British television personalities such as Jonathan Ross or Ade Edmondson. However, Llewellyn also interviews less-well-known figures as long as he feels that they will prove to be an interesting subject. The guests have also included Llewellyn's fellow Red Dwarf actors, Danny John Jules, Craig Charles, Chris Barrie and Hattie Hayridge (as well as Tony Hawks, Arthur Smith and Ruby Wax who all appeared in cameo roles in Red Dwarf, while Ed Bye, the show's producer/director, was the first person interviewed for the series). Llewellyn has also reunited with his ''Scrapheap Challenge'' co-hosts, Cathy Rogers and Lisa Rogers for interviews. The show is filmed using small cameras mounted within the car, and Llewellyn drives his guest to a destination of their choosing as they talk informally about a variety of subjects. As Llewellyn is driving for the majority of the time it can be difficult to deal with technical problems especially interference from mobile phones. Occasionally, such as during the Lisa Rogers episode, outside events such as being stopped by police interrupt the discussions. The TV show, based on the web format, has been developed by RDF. Funded and sponsored by Toyota, Carpool was first broadcast on Dave on 4 November 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=24 September 2010 ) 〕 The deal was planned by ZenithOptimedia, a leading media agency, and the deal brokered by newcast, the Branded Entertainment Division of ZenithOptimedia. Carpool has been shortlisted for best content partnership in Broadcast Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=May 2011 ) 〕 In an August 2011 update, Llewellyn announced that the show would stay as a web-exclusive and that no more made-for-TV episodes would be made. He also revealed the show would take a short hiatus, before a relaunch in the autumn. The show briefly returned on 20 November 2011, with a 'last of 2011' episode.〔https://twitter.com/#!/bobbyllew/status/137942454698651648〕 In a 'special' released in July 2014, Llewellyn revealed he had starting shooting new episodes for release later in the year, however no new episodes have been added as of September 2015. ==Episodes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carpool (web series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
