Cabin Pressure: The Complete Series 2

A full-cast BBC Radio Comedy

De: John Finnemore

Narrado por: Benedict Cumberbatch, Full Cast, John Finnemore, Roger Allam, Stephanie Cole

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 nervous bassoonist to Gdansk or a horrible sister to Helsinki, 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.

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.
