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)

Best new radio show out there

What did you love best about Cabin Pressure?

All of the performances and writing are top notch. I havent found a funnier or better written show yet.

What other book might you compare Cabin Pressure to and why?

This show reminds me alot of the Hicthhikers Guide to the Galaxy

More hilarity!

Loving the characters! Stoic mechanical Sherlock as an anal wimpy airplane captain is too funny!

The. Best. Radio. Show. EVER.

If you are having a bad day, listen to this. It's beyond BRILLIANT. Your ennui will be cured, life will have purpose again, stupid people will disappear, and it will make the gym suck less. Full of puns, word play, snappy dialog and impeccable comic timing from all performers. You'll wish the alphabet was longer.

An all together awesome show

The performance by this cast is so great and so funny, that I still laugh even when hearing it for the umpteenth time.

I love this series

John Finnemore has a great mind and weaves a fun story that is captured well by the cast. They capture the personality and mannerisms very well. There is enough realism in there to satisfy me as an aviation nerd while being zany enough to provoke huge laughs from my family!

Great acting and scripts. So funny

This whole series is funny and entertaining to listen to. Great acting and scripts. Roger Allam and John Finnemore have become favorites of mine, but the other actors were marvelous here. I've listened to the whole thing a few times over the years.

Be prepared to drop a little coin

I bought the fourth series on a deal of the day special, and got hooked five minutes into it. An all together awesome series.

Just as BRILLIANT as series 1

Nothing was lost in terms of quality in series 2. This is an hilarious show with truly excellent characters and simple, but funny plot lines that are character driven. I highly recommend. You will laugh.
