Synopsis

The complete finale of the hit BBC Radio 4 sitcom- 2 episodes.

Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and prayer world of a tiny, one-plane airline, staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. In this, the finale of the whole series, we discover that for MJN Air, whether it's choosing an ice-cream flavour, putting a princess in a van or remembering your grandmother's name, no job is too small, but, many, many jobs are too difficult.

Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the very 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 cheerful Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat.

‘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

BRILLIANT!!! I liked the ending for all the characters. The bonding between them throughout the episodes was charming and real. This is not just funny, this is witty, clever and very well written and performed .The bad thing is that it's over. But I listen over and over again and it gets even better......more

I bought this audio-book to complete the Cabin Pressure series (I had found A-Y through iTunes; this remained the last letter of the alphabet to locate) It took some time, but it was worth the wait! It wraps up the series very nicely. I was very pleased with the production quality and this conclusion......more

Goodreads review by Jason on May 02, 2025

I love the way the entire series comes to a close. We’ve traveled so far with these amazing characters and their jet, and I love how everyone has an ending that suits them perfectly. Cabin Pressure will forever be one of my all-time favorite audiobooks/radio shows, and I listen to it about twice a y......more
