A thousand strawberry lollies and the Princess of Liechtenstein - any Cabin Pressure fans around?

[DominicCummingsGilet]

I’ve just been binging on Cabin pressure and then I saw this news story - an off duty EasyJet pilot was going on holiday but they were delayed as waiting for a relief crew. He had his licence and was within hours so offered to fly the plane and they accepted. It made me think of Martin’s interview with Swiss Air when he said he never went anywhere without his pilot’s licence!! I think I might need a life

I’d love it to come back!

I have the box set of all the episodes and my 8 year old can quote them by heart.

Yellow car...

The lemon is in play

Loved Cabin Pressure! MJN air. Brilliant comedy.

“My Jet Now”. DD introduced us to Cabin Pressure on a long car journey. LOVE it.

I have successfully indoctrinated dd into a solid appreciation of John Finnemore. He was exceedingly lovely to her when she met him.
Lemons travel frequently here and we're always playing Yellow Car.

I miss it.

So many very quotable lines. I introduced my children to it, and now they quote it better than me.

Love Souvenir Programme and Double Acts too.

It's our family favourite and is part of the fabric of our lives. I even own a yellow car...

I love Cabin Pressure! I have the CD box set, we listen to it on long journeys and the DC nearly laugh themselves sick.

Big favourite in our house, I thought exactly the same about the pilot licence with his licence, a very Martin Du Crieff story!

Don't forget, you're always playing yellow car.

I just listened to Zurich while I was in the gym!

I can’t imagine how many times over I’ve listened to all of them.

Whole family loves Cabin Pressure. So pleased they haven’t tried to film it too. Much prefer radio.

My big disappointment in life is my children don't "get" Cabin Pressure! I know, shocking. I was thinking of it Ottery St Mary today for some reason and couldn't help smiling.

Our family Watsapp group chat is called The Lemon Is in Play 🍋

I saw that story and thought exactly the same thing!
DNephew 10 is also obsessed. He has an amazing T-Shirt, with a row of red cars, just one yellow car in the middle and the motto..."Always playing"

Also can anyone tell me where a thousand strawberry lollies comes from? I can't place it.

Thank you!

Currently all on YouTube, but you have to search gertie a-z, not cabin pressure :)

You know John Finnemore is on tour in the UK right now?

Flying visit...

We are all massive fans in our house! We all know them pretty much by heart. I think it's the thing we quote the most. Cabin Pressure has a suitable quote for almost any situation. I love the 1000 strawberry lollies line!

One of my other favourite bits is the 'physical comedy for radio' bit in Wokingham when the doctor says "So sorry to drag you away from your party" to Martin and his sister and he says "Oh... no, these really are our jobs!"

Only recently found this and absolutely love it

Yes! Love Cabin Pressure. Favourite episode is Timbuktu. What a Burling day that was.

John Finnemore’s Flying Visit is well worth it. We went last year and it was hilarious. DH and I still sing ‘Red Trousers’ to each other.

Also can anyone tell me where a thousand strawberry lollies comes from?

Zurich Part 2.

DH and I can't get off a plane without warning each other that otters may have shifted during flight.

Me and DC love it! We are going to see John Finnemore later this month. My favourite is Uskerty - "I don't think the bees would like it!" "This is the airport speaking." "I just have to quickly X-ray these geese."
