  "textContent": "## From Red Dwarf to The EV Revolution: In Conversation With Robert Llewellyn!\n\nIn this special, and slightly sillier episode of the **Everything Electric PODCAST** Imogen Bhogal turns the tables on our founder, Robert Llewellyn.\n\nAs Robert celebrates his 70th birthday, the pair look back on an extraordinary six-decade career spanning bespoke shoemaking, fringe comedy, cult sci-fi fame, and becoming one of the world’s leading voices for electric vehicles and clean energy.\n\nThey chat about Robert’s time on Red Dwarf and the show’s enduring legacy as one of the BBC’s most-watched programmes (outperforming Top Gear, dare we say it?). There are also fond memories of Scrapheap Challenge, the bizarre Mojave Desert story involving a children’s deckchair and a 3,500-foot flight, the hidden psychology behind the Carpool series, and of course,\n\nRobert’s slightly alarming habit of writing far too many books.\n\nEnjoy!\n\nGhost Camera is available here\n\n## Timestamps\n\n**0:00** Introduction: A different kind of podcast\n**1:40** Robert’s 70th Birthday & The “Umarell” nickname\n**7:05** The Geodesic Dome & School Expulsion\n**10:32** Life as a Bespoke Shoemaker\n**13:00** “The Joeys” and discovering the joy of comedy\n**18:50** Becoming Kryten: The Red Dwarf years\n**24:10** Red Dwarf vs. Blackadder & The BBC\n**28:30** Scrapheap Challenge: 5mm aggregate and flying junk\n**37:20** The birth of Carpool and “Suicide Cameras”\n**42:20** Pitching Fully Charged to a confused BBC\n**46:10** Ghost Camera: Writing, Optimism, and AI\n**54:00** Conclusion: Humour as the “spoonful of sugar”\n\nWhy not come and join us at our next **Everything Electric** expo: www.everythingelectric.show\n\nTo partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email:  _**commercial@fullycharged.show**_\n\n* * *\n\nGet your tickets for our live events NOW!\n\n  * Everything Electric WEST – 12th-13th June 2026\n  * Everything Electric GREATER LONDON – 11th-12th September 2026\n  * Everything Electric SYDNEY – 18th-20th September 2026\n\n\n\n* * *\n\n**Fully Charged** is 100% independent thanks to YouTube Memberships and Patreons.
