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.

Oh Yeah

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

Always amazing, a go to for a good listen!

Can't say how much I love this series, long trips or rain days, the perfect listen every time!

Truly authentically superb!

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

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.
