For some reason, nobody seems to have posted about this here!!! (Or my seeking skills are nil.) So I feel the need for speed. And the need to semi-cross-post from my Lebenstagebuch.

From John Finnemore's blog:


Q) Where can I listen to / download / buy / read Cabin Pressure?

A) In a variety of ways. You can buy the newly released CDs of the first three series from Amazon. You can buy downloads from Amazon or Pozzitive's online store. Someone has put all the episodes up on YouTube. And someone else, or a collection of someone elses, have put up transcripts of all the episodes, which you can easily find by googling 'Cabin Pressure transcripts'. I only get money from the first two of these, but personally speaking, I have no problem with the last two ways. (The BBC probably don't agree about that.)


That line. Right there. "I get no money; I have no problem."

That line alone makes me want to pay SHITLOADS of money for the CDs wot I have been listening to FOR FREE since February.

For those of you who don't know John Finnemore: he is the genius wot created the radio programme Cabin Pressure. And the transcripts he mentions? Um, they'd all be on LJ...

He also talks about:

• fanfic!!! John Finnemore, I love you! You are sensible! You are generous! You are unruffled!

• where Fitton is (so WHERE IS Fitton???? I have a hunch but not the 'within 20 miles' that he mentions...)

• Douglas not being mean to Martin, and Martin not living in abject poverty (yay! fanon myths debunked, and as these are myths I never subscribed to, I say yay!)

• Series number 4!!!

Poverty, m'dear, poverty. Not property. *gg*

Well, some fic suggests that Martin weeps almost non-stop because of the grim misery of his life.

The comments on the blog post are informative, too. I can't believe I didn't recognize Anthony Head as Herc.

I didn't recognise him at all myself but googled pretty soon after the introduction of Herc to find out the owner of that delicious voice. "Have a simply scrumptious flight."

Re: Fitton
It's to the west of Daventry. (My guess was north-west, but when I asked him he said that it was west.)

Daventry!! That name appears in one of the episodes, I think in Abu Dhabi. No, in... can't remember now but Carolyn mentions something about there being no body of water besides some swimming pools in Daventry.

From the FAQs on John Finnemore's blog:

There's one line of Martin's that occurs in two different episodes. Was that deliberate?

What line is he talking about?

In Fitton and Limerick, Douglas is asking him about his relationship status and ends up suggesting he try asking out cabin crew; Martin answers "For two very different reasons, neither Carolyn or Arthur really float my boat!" XD

omg! You have cleared up a weird persistent confusion in my head! I kept getting Fitton and Limerick muddled up. I kept thinking, hang on, when does Martin talk about his attraction or not to various people? And now I understand why I was confused! Because he says it in both!

THANK YOU! (I have listened to these episodes at least 30 times each... how could I not get this?) Hah.

:) Glad to be of service!

The repetition stuck in my mind, so it's great to finally know why it turns up twice! It's such a wonderful line for Martin, too, and I can easily see why JF would want to use it if he thought it had been cut out of the previous episode he'd written it in.
