Publisher's summary

Stephanie Cole (Doc Martin), Benedict Cumberbatch, and Roger Allam (The Thick of It) star in the complete second series of the hit sitcom about the pilots of a tiny charter airline for whom no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult.

Run by the forbidding divorcée Carolyn Knapp-Shappey (an unfortunate marriage, namewise, but in Carolyn's opinion, marginally better than Carolyn Shappey-Knapp), her two pilots are the smooth, experienced, and almost-certainly-fired-by-a-big-airline-for-all-around naughtiness Douglas, and struggling, almost competent Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur.

Written by John Finnemore, writer for The News Quiz and That Mitchell & Webb Sound.

Critic reviews

"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)

Get Ready to Laugh

Would you consider the audio edition of Cabin Pressure: The Complete Series 2 to be better than the print version?

I didn't think there was a print version. I believe this was a radio program.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Stephanie Cole of course. She is the lead with her band of incompetent and humorous employees.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

Characters are themselves and being British it is a hoot to listen to. Typical British humor if you are into that.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Stephanie Cole always makes me laugh although I have seen her in some serious roles on TV. This is pure comedy.

Any additional comments?

Great for a long drive or anytime you need a light moment.

Hidden Treasure

British comedy at it's absolute best. I've purchased all four series and both specials and each is better than the next. Just buy it. Now!

The puppy loves it

Not at all something I would have chosen under normal circumstances, but Tumblr said it was awesome and Audible had a sale. Now I’m in love, and the dog is getting plenty of exercise.

A Joy and a Half

Where does Cabin Pressure rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's not a book, it's a radio program with an audience. Funny dialogue.

What did you like best about this story?

The actors are wonderful

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Like many others, I downloaded it because of Benedict Cumberbatch and it also stars Roger Allam that I just watched in the "Endeavor" TV series as a detective. Everyone's performances are very good and with endearing characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes ! Cleaning the house !

Any additional comments?

May not be for everyone. It's very silly British humor.
