"Excellent new comedy...I cannot find a single flaw in it' "Independent on Sunday 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 flying actresses to Italy, cricketers to the Sahara, or a cat to Abu Dhabi, 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 cheery Arthur, proud inventor of both Surprising Rice and his own hat. Written by John Finnemore (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, "The Now Show"), "Cabin Pressure" stars Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger Allam as Douglas, and John Finnemore as Arthur ".

"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. Written by John Finnemore, writer for 'The News Quiz', and 'That Mitchell & Webb Sound'. Run by the forbidding divorcee 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 Martin. All-round help is provided by Carolyn's near-idiot son, Arthur...'Unexpectedly brilliant' - Time Out. 'An inspired new sitcom' - Observer. 'I cannot find a single flaw in it. So top marks.' - Independent on Sunday. Full cast, starring Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, Benedict Cumberbatch and John Finnemore."

Part 4 finds us on the way to """"Ottery St Mary"""". Martin is a Man With A Van, Douglas flies A Plane With An Otter and Carolyn dates A Pilot With A Problem With Sheep. And two mysteries solved - the name of Carolyn's dog and the rules of "Yellow Car".
