Every episode of the hit BBC Radio 4 airline sitcom is collected
together in this special box set, including the Christmas special final
episode and several bonus features. 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 cat to Abu Dhabi, dealing with a nervous bassoonist,
hunting for a cleverly-hidden lemon, or attempting to celebrate
Christmas in seven minutes, 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. Written by John Finnemore,
Cabin Pressure stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch
as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore as Arthur.
