Summary
Anyone looking to let off some steam is bound to find something to love in Cabin Pressure. The combination of snappy repartee and brilliant voice-acting makes this a side-achingly funny experience from start to finish.
Stephanie Cole ("Doc Martin"), Benedict Cumberbatch and Roger Allam ("The Thick Of It") star in the complete first 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. Written by John Finnemore, writer for The News Quiz, and That Mitchell & Webb Sound.
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-round naughtiness Douglas, and struggling almost-competent pilot and sweaty man Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur....

One of the best radio comedies
This is a great radio comedy. One of the best comedies to have recently come out of Radio 4. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Highly Recommended
I had not heard of the show but on browsing Audible, the casting of 'Dr Mason' ( Tenko - Stephanie Cole) added credit to the production and so I downloaded it. FANTASTIC - very funny and all of the cast give an enjoyable performance. Roger Allam's use of his voice alongside the writing is hilarious. Benedict Cumberbatch sounds like a fool - what a performance.... and Stephanie Cole had me in stitches. Great writing - John Finnemore. Highly recommended.

Never go anywhere without Cabin Pressure!
Any additional comments?
I love Cabin Pressure and can listen to them over an over. I have all four series now and never tire of them. I think my favourite episodes are Ottery St Mary and Uzkerty although they are all (to borrow a superlative from Arthur), brilliant!

More of a travelling relief than pressure
For once a recommendation proved to be a positive and delightful one. Cabin Pressure is not only a breath of fresh air in recent comedy, but it may well be one of the best comedies of the last two decades. An absolutely laugh outloud affair with a brilliant setting and inter characters. Off now to listen to Series 2.
