Three Other Things

Firstly, Cabin Pressure Series III is being repeated on Radio 4 at 6:30 on Tuesdays, starting tomorrow, with Qikiqtarjuaq. Please have your egg-whisks and pogo-sticks at the ready.

Secondly, I'm very happy to say all three series of Cabin Pressure are being released on CD this year, at the beginning of July, August, and September. You can pre-order them here:

Cabin Pressure Series 1

Cabin Pressure Series 2

Cabin Pressure Series 3

Also, it's looking hopeful that I may get the chance to mess around a bit on the inside cover. No promises, but if you have any suggestions for things you'd like to see, feel free to put them in the comments. There's not much room, so they'll have to be quite small things. I'm thinking along the lines of Carolyn's to do list, Douglas and Martin's cheese-board tally, or Arthur's favourite bear facts...

Thirdly, I was in a bookshop the other day, and saw these two books side by side. Though they're both huge sellers, I wonder if there is anyone in the world who has read them both...

    Carolyn's to-do list would be fantastic, a tally score chart of Douglas vs Talisker would also be awesome, or perhaps the rules of Yellow Car ^_^

    But, a picture of Arthur's Toblerone collection would be utterly Brilliant!

    You rock, Mr Finnemore!

    A list of more things that make Arthur completely happy.
    A drawing of Arthur's MJN Air brochure picture from Douz.
    100 otters.
    More examples of Arthur's phonetic alphabet.
    More limericks.

    Again, thank you for being so marvellous.

  15. How about a cartoon of Snooperdoop as executed by Douglas? (take that however you want.) Or an image of Martin's pilot exam reports. An advertising card for Icarus removals? Do you have a copy of he infamous "Caroline strangling a customer" photo from the company brochure? How well could you conceal a travelling lemon on a CD cover? And how many "Brians of Britain" could you fit on the sleeve?

    You clearly need a fancy box set collectors edition. It cries out for a sleeve liner notebook with space for us to record our yellow car tallies? (Is that the plural of tally? Or is it talii? What would the collective noun be for tallii/tallies? Sorry I digress.)

    Hello, I'd like to see pictures of the recordings showing the cast. Perhaps a list of more people with evil sounding names? Or cartoons of the other characters like Kieran and Aunti Ruth... Martin's profile on a internet dating side? Drawings of the Christmas tree, the Secret Santa and the Christmas pudding? What about a DVD cover for this Camelot thing from the Cremona Ep?

    Whatever it is, I love the show and I would fancy a 4th season.
    But thank you for releasing CDs anyway, I'm oldfashioned but I like to store actual CDs instead of putting everything on my ipod, well CP is there anyway...

    Firstly, will the CD's be available in Canada?

    Secondly, it would be cool to have "Arthur" write the liner notes. He could include a list of things his mom always carries in her purse, the fact that Martin always wears odd socks for luck when he flies (different colours for each leg of the flight), and reveal a secret about Carolyn that only Douglas knows - you could have fun with that...

    When it comes right down to it, we will all LOVE whatever you choose to do...

  23. Looking forward to buying the CDs! I'd be kind of interested in seeing some of Arthur's recipes (e.g., Surprising Rice) and possibly Douglas' recipe for that carp dish. I'd also be interested in drawings of the characters (including GerTI, if possible). Lastly (for now) - rules for the various games as played on the show (Traveling Lemon, Yellow Car, etc.) - or Carolyn's tips for vacationing on the cheap (aside from "have the pilots pay for themselves").

    ReplyDelete
  24. I wonder if these CDs would be available in the states . . . on that note, I think it would be great to see a pre-trip packing list for Martin in the vein of "Captain dons cap". Perhaps a peak into Douglas' iPod playlist? Or maybe some cartoon photos of Arthur celebrating his favorite holidays with his mum, Douglas, and Martin (Christmas, Easter, his birthday, and Carolyn's birthday)? Carolyn's wall chart would also be lovely.

    Thank you for being so wonderful Mr. Finnemore!

    P.S. I might accept your challenge about reading these two novels as I love both cupcakes and space.

    Since you have three CDS, therefore you'll have three liner notes spaces. So here's three ideas:

    2.A list of potential destinations for series 4...to whet our appetites (none of which MJN Air will actually visit, disappointing all of us who live in places that start with, I don't know, W or Y)

    3.A mock-up internet dating page for Martin as made by Douglas.

  41. prwelly11:18 pm

    Oops, didn't see you'd already suggested the Arthur's fave bear facts. Sorry. Have to try to come up with something else.

    As for the chick lit and Arthur C. Clarke combo? Girls can like both, you know. But there is good chick lit - hello, Jane Austen - and bad. And this seems to be from the ranks that always has that same graphic design on the cover. So, no.

  49. I love the juxtaposition of those two books (and I'm guessing that store isn't big on themed displays) but I think you might be wrong when it comes to no one reading both. I haven't read those two particular books, but I have read a Jenny Colgan novel, and lots of other chick-lit, and quite a few sci-fi. No Clarke, but definitely some Isaac Asimov and Philip K Dick.

    I've found in 12 years working in and owning bookstores that, while the majority of people do stick to the same genre all the time (and don't get me started on gender-specific genres), the true booknerds will try a little of everything. You should see some of the strange pairings on my own shelves!

    Damn, now I want to go challenge everyone I know to read something completely different from their genre of choice! Or maybe just myself. I've never read a Western before...

  54. I am so happy. I just pre-ordered all three. I've had trouble ordering certain CDs in the past because they were not allowed to be sold to me because I'm in America. Why it matters that I'm in America when ordering a CD containing Benedict Cumberbatch reading public domain poetry, I don't understand.

    My family all love Cabin Pressure. Yellow car is the game they love beyond all others. I very much appreciate the video with Arthur clarifying the rules.

    Lots of really good ideas by previous posters, otters, lemons, cars etc. Here are my own suggestions:

    Please tell me the Christmas Special will be included. As for the inside cover, some of Carolin's flight plans, and Arthur's recipe for mulled Petrus '05, possibly a 'still' from Douglas' pre-flight safety briefing.

    Please consider hiding a sheep, a lemon, a bottle of whiskey and the passenger who died of a heart attack when Arthur extinguished his illegal cigarette and a yellow car somewhere in the design.

    So looking forward to hearing Series 3 again, all great, but especially St Petersburg. I found it (exposing my fanheart here) moving. Can't explain it, but when Martin and Douglas dealt with the emergency, the fact that their professionalism really showed and they swept all other considerations away in the moment of need... and you didnt make them comment on it afterwards... Sweet, understated writing of the kind I so admire. Please tell me there is going to be more Cabin Pressure, or do I have to wait for my heavenly goody bag which contains, I hear, series 2-10 of Firefly?

And Cabin Pressure is my favourite. I mean, I think I actually like it better than the Hitchhiker's Guide, which I find hard to believe. It amazes me that you manage to make all four characters so compellingly sympathetic in spite of their all being so horridly flawed.

    My request: Could you post on your blog a list of your favourite radio dramas/comedies? (Any era.) There are so many to choose from, and most of the ones I've listened to are... pretty awful.

    Thank you! And thank you for being so BRILLIANT!

    I know it's a bit late, but what about a postcard from Madame Shishishkabush (spelling!?) to Carolyn about the terrible service on a recent flight of hers to wherever?
    I also like the lemon idea :)

    Great blog post. Some tips i would like to contribute is that pc memory ought to be purchased but if your computer is unable to cope with anything
    you do by using it. One can deploy two random access
    memory boards having 1GB each, for example, but not certainly
    one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should check the car maker's documentation for the PC to ensure what type of memory is essential.

    Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this excellent blog.

    The thing I would tell people is usually to give
    up the mentality that they may buy right now and fork out later.
    As a society most people tend to do this for many issues. This includes vacations, furniture,
    and also items we . However, you should separate your current wants from the needs.
    When you're working to fix your credit score make some sacrifices. For example it is possible to shop online to economize or you can check out second hand merchants instead of expensive department stores for clothing.

    Nice post. I learn something tougher on completely different blogs everyday.

    It should always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and follow
    slightly something from their store. I�d want to use some
    with the content on my blog whether or not you
    don�t mind. Natually I�ll offer you a hyperlink in your internet blog.
    Thanks for sharing.

    This is an old post, but I wish to report that I have definitely read (very similar) titles by both authors! As someone else pointed out, pigeonhole reader/writers at your peril. Fun fact about Jenny Colgan - she's also written a Doctor Who tie-in novel, described as "a thrilling new adventure in which the latest Doctor battles Vikings, chess and an unstoppable fire...." No cupcakes?
