Carpool

Carpool (2010-2011)

EndedTalk Show show

Starting off as an online phenomenon, Dave is now bringing this unique chatshow to a TV audience for the very first time. Or, we should say, a conventional TV audience – we don't know whether we're coming or going when it comes to ways people watch what our dads used to call telly these days. Presented by Red Dwarf's Robert Llewellyn, Carpool sees the actor slip into a blissfully simple routine – he gets behind the wheel of his Toyota Prius, picks up a celebrity guest and chews the fat with them while he drives them to their destination. The online version of Carpool got an enormous two million downloads and boasted guests such as Stephen Fry, Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Ross and David Mitchell. This brand new series sees Robert manage to drive and chat to some more top guests.

Shakespeare & Hathaway - Private Investigators

Frank Hathaway, a hardboiled private investigator, and his rookie sidekick Lu Shakespeare form the unlikeliest of partnerships as they investigate the secrets of rural Warwickshire's residents.

Beneath the picturesque charm lies a hotbed of mystery and intrigue: extramarital affairs, celebrity stalkers, missing police informants, care home saboteurs, rural rednecks and murderous magicians, embezzling accountants and abducted au pairs, blackmail, comp claims and custody cases, all-night stake-outs and professional hits. Our odd couple of detectives will put the world to rights as they snoop and pry. They disagree on almost everything, yet somehow, together, they make a surprisingly effective team. Although they would never admit it.
