S01E02 Boston | Cabin Pressure | John Finnemore | BBC Radio

Welcome back aboard MJN Air, the world’s smallest, most chaotic charter airline.
In S01E02 – Boston, the crew must deliver a very unusual “client,” navigate a pile of questionable decisions, and survive yet another day of Martin trying desperately to stay in charge.

Created and written by John Finnemore, Cabin Pressure is a fan-favourite BBC Radio 4 sitcom celebrated for its sharp dialogue, clever wordplay, and unforgettable characters.

Meet the crew once again:

Captain Martin Crieff — earnest, anxious, and constantly battling for respect

First Officer Douglas Richardson — confident, charming, and effortlessly infuriating

Carolyn Knapp-Shappey — fearlessly running the airline with sarcasm and fury

Arthur Shappey — the happiest, most enthusiastic cabin crew member imaginable

In Boston, tensions rise, misunderstandings explode, and the crew’s attempt at professionalism falls apart beautifully.
Expect word games, subtle sabotage, enthusiastic chaos from Arthur, and Martin doing everything he can to prove he’s a real captain… despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

🎧 In this episode you’ll enjoy:

Quick-witted dialogue and perfect comedic rhythm

Douglas pushing Martin’s buttons at every opportunity

Arthur turning minor tasks into major disasters

Carolyn delivering world-class sarcasm

Classic Cabin Pressure chemistry and escalating absurdity
