All 27 episodes of the hit BBC Radio 4 airline sitcom are collected together in this special box set, including the Christmas special, the finale in Zurich and several bonus features.
Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny, one-plane, charter airline; staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. Whether it's dealing with a stuffed sheep, calming a nervous bassoonist, hunting for a cleverly-hidden lemon or attempting to celebrate Christmas in seven minutes, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are difficult.
Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain Martin Crieff, who's always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like lack of ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson, smooth-voiced old sky-god and eternal schemer. Passenger service is provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat.
Written by John Finnemore, Cabin Pressure stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore as Arthur.
Produced & directed by David Tyler.
Bonus extras include:
A full-colour booklet with exclusive, specially-created material and drawings, a full-length interview with John Finnemore introducing deleted scenes and Cabin Pressure secrets! Plus behind-the-scenes cast photos; on-air trails and the never-heard-before prologue.
