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)

Laugh a minute!

I rarely buy comedy programmes that one could at times re-heard on BBC7 replay - but Cabin Pressure is so delightful that I downloaded it for a long drive over the Xmas period as a special treat!! It did not fail me and we arrived at our destination positively fizzing !

Best radio comedy ever - by miles!

A********** Perfect cast, brilliant (thank you Mr Shappy for the mot juste) writing, excellent execution. Wish there were more letters in the alphabet!

Good fun

Would you consider the audio edition of Cabin Pressure: The Complete Series 2 to be better than the print version?

This is an enjoyable comedy, the writing is good, but the pleasure is also in timing and performance of the actors.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I do not have a favourite character. The chemistry between the characters is entertaining and how they compliment each other, it would not work without any of them.

Hidden pleasures

This features a fantastic cast, one-liners to die for, it is simply the best comedy to have been on Radio 4 for years. My advice, buy it now!

Simply the best sit-com ever!

Superbly written by John Finnemore and expertly performed by the regular cast. 


There is no greater comedy than Cabin Pressure, I'll never tire of re-listening having listened to the original broadcasts on Radio 4, owned the cd boxset and now streaming on Audible.
