What a superior human being you evidently are: bona fide comic genius, yet a helpful & considerate individual; a lamentably rare coupling in my showbiz experiences. Hopefully, after your inevitable successes justifiably raise your industry profile, you won't be throwing lattes back in the faces of panting runners "because I said it should be 84 degrees centigrade, and this is clearly 80, 82 tops. You'll never work at the BBC again!" No, that's not a scene from an upcoming episode of your future.<br />To reciprocate, I'd like to offer free places on my Oxford tour (www.oxfordwalks.co.uk) to anyone who can prove their name is John Finnemore. Yours, hoping it doesn't turn out to be such a common name, Richard.Richard O.

As someone connected with BBC, I naturally strive at all times for maximum interactivity on a multi-platform paradigm, so please do go ahead and provide any of the people I post with names, backstory, habits, colours and, er, swine flu, as you see fit. If I like the names enough, I'll change the title of the relevant post. <br /><br />Rob and Mark - thank you very much. I blush. I can promise you you'd be much less appreciative if you could see the lumpen clod of script I'm currently trying to wrestle into some sort of shape. Anyway, the recording dates have not yet been confirmed, but they are likely to be three Sundays in June and July. Keep an eye on this place- I'll probably be able to announce the confirmed dates, and how to book, a little ahead of the BBC, thus giving you a headstart, and saving Richard O.

Whereas the media have been engaged in prematurely writing the format's obituary since the 70s slammed shut, Cabin Pressure doesn't just show there's still a sitcom pulse to be found, but it's capable of doing 100 press ups a minute prior to bench-pressing 500lbs. (Hmmm...note to self: must re-new gym membership, and then can concentrate more on writing wider original metaphors).<br />When are the recordings of the new series likely to take place? Since I'm compulsively checking the BBC's webpages for daily Cabin Pressure ticket info, a heads-up would help me ensure I score tickets - which would also mean I accomplish something genuinely good in the eyes of my wife (and that hasn't happened since the 70s either!)Richard O.
