CABIN PRESSURE IS ON SOUNDS AT THE MOMENT!

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Series 1, Episode 1 - Abu Dhabi. Not sure how many series they are going to schedule.

And the YouTube shorts from Fritton that Arthur posted when he, along with the rest of the country, was in covid lockdown.

Fitton 🤦‍♀️

Series 1 covers Abu Dhabi to Fitton. Series 2, Gdansk to Limerick. Then Molokai. Series 3, Newcastle to St Petersburg. Series 4, Timbuktu to Yverdon-les-Bains, and then Zurich to round it all up.

I'm ridiculously happy to know that I've got two more series to enjoy.

I had a horrible feeling there were only two.

I'm also finding myself saying most things in Douglas's voice. Is that normal? 😆

Ab-so-lutely

Who wouldn't want to sound like Roger Allam if they possibly could?

Roger Allam and Tony Head doing a smarm-off is one of the great gifts this series has given us.

I wouldn't mind sounding like Stephanie Cole some of the time too though.

Such a brilliant cast.

Carolyn is on my list of women I wouldn't mind growing up to be, along with Granny Weatherwax 😎

Wall charts can lie

Tell you what, write me a memo, I'll read it and throw it in the bin

I don't care what you want. What does it say on the tail?
MJN
And what does that mean?
My jet now
Who's jet now?
Yours

And that's why we're going to Uskerty

“Only Father Christmas cares about what you want, I am telling you what you are going to do.”

I use this one in my kids all the time.

Aptly named Cabin Fever

It's Burling day!!

Following on from this revelation, spending many happy hours catching up with this marvellous series, I thought I'd see what else I could find.

Started listening to John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme on BBC Sounds and it's hysterical.
Man is a genius.

BRILLIANT!

My favourite is "I am going to count to one. One". Use that a lot!

So what they do on Burling day is a Burling job. Which is very neatly the name of a hamlet in Radnorshire.

Love cabin pressure, have it on audible and plan to listen to the whole of it flying to Singapore!

On the CD box set, there was a bonus episode where John Finnemore talked about the development of the series and played trailers and out-takes. I wish they'd include that when they're re-broadcasting the series.

I discovered today the pitfalls of listening to Cabin Pressure whilst on a walk doubled over snorting with laughter at:

Well, what do you mean, "fire truck"?
I can find no words that describe a fire truck better than "fire truck". 🤣

I've just caught up with Fitton.
And apart from the laughs, I would very much like to hear Roger Allam singing all of 'Summertime'.

This is him from Les Miserables

He was in the original production - I saw Les Miserables when it started but can't remember if he was Javert when I saw it.

That was amazing!

Roger Allam is a great audiobook narrator. If any of you have a young/pre-teen I can recommend Scarlett Thomas's Worldquake audiobooks.

Does anyone else hear the advert for Jet 2 when they talk about "My Jet 2" and just think it should be My Jet now?"

Have no more episodes been released on BBC Sounds? I was getting one a week but they seem to have stopped and I'm now addicted!
