About this product
Product Information
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. 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. 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. Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat. Written by John Finnemore (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, The Now Show), Cabin Pressure stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore as Arthur. 'The more I listen to John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure, the more I think what a stonking masterpiece it is. Perfect in every department.' - Philip Pullman '... a diamond in radio's crown' - Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph 10 CDs. 8 hrs 50 mins.Product Identifiers

Hysterically funny drama about a plane, its owner and its crew
The humour is extremely clever and the script well-written. Roger Allam as the second officer is sardonically funny, while Arthur, the owner's son is an innocent abroad, taken advantage of by all. He is played by John Finnemore, the writer of the series, and his voice has the right quality to suggest his guileless take on life. Some episodes are brilliantly witty, and all are enhanced by the acting: listen to Vaduz and you will see what I mean.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Genius comedy
Perfect comedy radio, now a classic. The casting is exactly right for the characters and the simple concept is clever. Every episode is entertaining and John Finnemore is a genius! I prefer CDs but the series is now mainly available digitally - excellent for car journeysVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Perfect Comedy
Adore this radio comedy; it's warm-hearted, clever, and I can listen to it over and over again without ever becoming bored. Epic cast, and endearing characters, writing as sharp as Carolyn's put-downs.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
