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)

Oh Yeah

This is super silly funny madness. It is great while doing boring tasks. Time just flies by while I kick dust butt.

Truly authentically superb!

These episodes never get old. I’ve listened to every episode from every season an embarrassing amount of times.

Brilliant Fun!

Cabin Pressure is the best new UK comedy series I've found on Audible. Stephanie Cole and Roger Allam are both fantastic, and the other players are fine as well. The writing is crisp and fun, as well as intelligent and largely free of coarseness. Any listener with a sense of humor will enjoy this download. Don't forget to get series 1 as well. You will be charmed, I promise you!

Hilarious!

What a great radio play series! They tie back to earlier episodes, the jokes are laugh out loud funny and it's generally very entertaining! Great character development too; makes road trips fly by!

Funny and smart. It's definitely worth your time. Excellent writing and spot on performances. English comedy at its very best.

Just as much fun as the first series

After enjoying the first series so much, I bought this one as well. I listen to it while knitting and I have a great time with it.

John Finnemore is an outstanding writer

John Finnemore is a consummate writer. He is clever, witty, and has an incredible imagination. His writing projects draw great actors, so all the performances are perfect.
I listen again and again and still hear tidbits i missed the first time around.
Great laugh-out-loud fun!

Can't stop laughing

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

This is one of the best radio plays I've ever listened to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cabin Pressure?

Burling Day!

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

I only planned to listen to each individual episode at a time, but ended up listening to the entire series.
