Cabin Pressure: A-Z: The BBC Radio 4 Airline Sitcom

Whether flying a cat to Abu Dhabi, dealing with a nervous bassoonist, hunting for a cleverly-hidden lemon, or attempting to celebrate Christmas in seven minutes, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult. Written by John Finnemore, Cabin Pressure stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore as Arthur.. Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny, one-plane charter airline, staffed by two pilots—one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. Every episode of the hit BBC Radio 4 airline sitcom is collected together in this special box set, including the Christmas special final episode and several bonus features. Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur. Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the very cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson, smooth-voiced old sky-god and eternal schemer

"Cabin Pressure is one of the best written, cast, acted and directed comedies on anywhere." —Daily Telegraph

"Fantastic audio series!" according to P. Andrews. Great series. Audio quality on the CD's is better than Audible version, and the bonus tracks are great.. Marcia said Very happy. Very funny. I was concern (before I ordered) that it would not play, since I am in the U.S. and it is coming from overseas. (DVDs from overseas are not compatible, and wont play in the U.S. This does not apply to CDs). I was able to listen/play with no problems. Very happy. Very funny. I only heard the f. Laugh your head off Very funny! It's a pity that America stopped having radio shows. We could learn a thing or two from the Brits, who still have many hilarious shows on air. Benedict Cumberbatch is wonderful, as is the rest of the cast. Highly recommend!
