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 can’t help myself every time we go on holiday as soon as we get inside the airport. ‘This is the airport speaking’

I also love listening to it if I’m flying. It gives it a whole new dimension!!!

It was on iPlayer but not now. I used to listen to it on my walk to evening classes. I must buy it somewhere - where can I get it? That and Old Harry’s Game (Joan is Arc!!).

Me! Love it. Listening to it on planes is particularly fun (2 transatlantic flights equals every episode!)

Audible has all the episodes

Burlings the best quote.
My terrible wife.
Oh I'm sure she's not terrible.
Well my dear boy your marry her for 30 years and we'll compare notes.

Yes leapyear I loved Eddie! ‘You’re flying from Birmingham to Newcastle in broad daylight, which way round the globe are you planning on going?’

I LOVE Cabin Pressure, I've been relistening to the whole lot recently. My favourite episode is Qikiqtarjuaq - Martin du Creffe can bring me to tears of laughter. For some reason my DH is reluctant to listen to it - I think he doesn't get the concept of radio comedies. We are flying to Turkey this weekend so I think I may force him...

Agree listening on flights (Audible) is even more fun. Last time I flew I had cheese and crackers on board. Announced excitedly to my son that I had "the squidgy one in the foil packet". He asked where were the otters?

Also love Eddie and his round the globe & The Widowmaker.

I keep meaning to also dig up the supercut of Benedict saying "this has been a Pozzitive Production for the BBC!" because over time, it gets faster and faster and faster

In our house, it is also always pronounced "DWAGON FWUUUUUUIT". And any correction offered to the other is introduced with "Hey, Chief..."

If I ever bumped into Benedict Cumberbatch with the kids (likely) they wouldn't be that excited about meeting Sherlock or Dr Strange, but they would be about meeting Martin Crieff!

I went to a recording once

So jealous! Which episode was it?

@ImportantWater-I listened to Dwagon Fwuit today on my way home! 😂

XXcstatic, I knew someone would ask that. Been desperately trying to remember

It was a double recording. I think it might have been Qikiqtarjuaq and Ottery St Mary… would probably recognise them by their plot summaries.

would probably recognise them by their plot summaries

polar bears and otters?

Maybe?

Sorry. It was a while ago and I'm old and easily befuddled. I do seem to remember an audience participation bit over the pronunciation of Qikiqtarjuaq though; and have a dim memory of the words Ottery St Mary.

Can't nominate a favourite episode. Something to love in all of them. Ipswich is wonderful, though.

Nikita I think Ottery St Mary's the one where they're taking the piano in the van. The keys get lost. Jelly babies set to manual. Yellow car. Those magnificent men in their flying machines. A classic.

Arthur's "oh, Douglas!" at the end is pure perfection.

Thanks to this thread I sat through work chuckling!

BringMoreCoffee, God, how had I forgotten that?! The cast did a rousing rendition of that song but the audience insisted on clapping 'along' out of time, so they had to do it again

A fine choice Nikita, I'm very jealous!

And on the marvellous JF's site, I found this:

Have a look on You Tube for “Mastermind - Cabin Pressure”.

DH and I got 100% naturally 😊

Ooh must try that.
