Resumen del Editor

Stephanie Cole (Doc Martin), Benedict Cumberbatch, and Roger Allam (The Thick of It) star in the complete second 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.

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-around naughtiness Douglas, and struggling, almost competent Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur.

Written by John Finnemore, writer for The News Quiz and That Mitchell & Webb Sound.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The more I listen to John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure, the more I think what a stonking masterpiece it is. Perfect in every department." (Philip Pullman)

love it so much

have listened to them over and over and always makes me laugh like crazy they are wonderful! !!

Pure gold

The characters and the way they play off each other is such fun. Comic genius.

Terrific series! Full of laughs!

A really funny and terrific series! When is number 3 coming out? Laugh out loud silliness. The performers are wonderful and the writing is great. I want more!

The Best Radio Show Out There

I love this show more than anything. The characters, writing, acting--it's all phenomenal. Love it.

There are six Cabin Pressure audiobooks in total

This is a favorite series! As of this date, it is hard to find the complete series listed unless you click John Finnemore - otherwise, the other lists leave off Molokai and Zurich.
You can check Wikipedia for a list of the episodes and series.
At this time, unless BBC puts the entire series into one audio book, there are six audio books to buy.
Series 1, Series 2, Molokai (Christmas Special), Series 3, Series 4, and Zurich (Ending/Conclusion of series Special)

Flies well indeed

If you like light British humor with a bit of heart, don't miss this collection! Younger but still very talented (pre-Sherlock) Benedict Cumberbatch is part of the very talented ensemble.

brilliant show

funny clever show that brings enjoyment to the listener. This series is much better than the 1st series.

Love cabin pressure

My kids have been listening to this to fall asleep their whole lives. They love it.

Made me laugh so hard I couldn't walk!

What did you love best about Cabin Pressure?

Oh, it's hard to pick just one thing - the clever, hysterically funny writing, the performances or the way it changes the way you look at everyday life?

What did you like best about this story?

There were many stories. And they were all funny and witty and clever. I love that!

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

Each narrator provided depth and nuances that broadened the characters and made them into people rather than just caricatures. The comic delivery had me staggering around the park laughing seemingly to myself on my daily walk as I listened.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"Arthur says 'it's brilliant'"

Any additional comments?

I am so jealous of the UK for getting new episodes first.

In a word ... brilliant

Buy this audiobook. Buy it now. Buy it fast. You'll laugh until you're sore in the stomach listening to the adventures of MJN air, Britain's least competent but most endearing airline. This is British radio humour at its very best, and it has Benedict Cumberbatch in the cast (as Captain Martin Crieff)! The entire series is excellent - there's not a dud episode among them. I cannot wait for more episodes so come, and have listened to these ones many times and they just keep staying funny. This is a future classic, destined for the comedy hall of fame.
