Summary
The complete finale of the hit BBC Radio 4 sitcom- 2 episodes.
Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and prayer world of a tiny, one-plane airline, staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. In this, the finale of the whole series, we discover that for MJN Air, whether it's choosing an ice-cream flavour, putting a princess in a van or remembering your grandmother's name, 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 cheerful Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat.
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)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Some lovely nuances from each character over the series and a great way to end a truly brilliant series. I have listened to all the episodes many times. It's become a treasured friend, particularly when I need a lift. I think it should be held up as an absolute classic.

Best series ever
I was going to say radio comedy series, then dropped the radio. Then comedy had to go. from start to genius end I have listened and loved every second of Cabin Pressure and shall continue to do so until I drop. Perfect blend of actors, scripting and delivery make this nothing short of brilliant. Yellow car.

Absolutely brilliant!!
Yet another masterpiece but so sad that it's the final series. So superbly acted from a stellar cast that you will not get tired of repeating each episode. worth every penny, five star.

Perfection
Zurich is a masterclass in how to bring to an end a much loved series. Lots of references for fans who have followed for years and know the other episodes inside- out. It also features a cracking race-against- time plot and a satisfying conclusion (literally flying into the sunset). Outstanding performances from the cast - my favourite is Carolyn/Stephanie but they are all tremendous. 5 stars barely cover it.

So sad to see it go :-(
I've loved every second of cabin pressure and have listened to each series about 3 times now. I can highly recommend it to everyone, it is funny, clever and even makes me laugh the third time around. I will miss not having more series to add to the collection.

The lemon is in play
It seems as if cabin pressure has become part of the family. My children bring various story lines into everyday conversation, yellow car has become the game of choice while travelling in my car and the "bear polar" speech in a French accent has become my nine year old sons party piece. Good clean comedy for all ages. Simply "brilliant"
