I love all of the Birling day episodes, Geoffrey Whitehead is one of my favourite actors as he never fails to shine in any of his numerous roles, both dramatic and comedic, I highly recommend that anyone unfamiliar with his other radio comedy work track down such delights as 'Alison and Maud', 'Bleak Expectations', 'Ed Reardon's Week' and 'The Wordsmiths of Gauzemere Hall' to name but a few and his performance as the irrascible Mr. Birling is just perfect! I also think the plots work amazingly well in the three Birling day episodes, and each is very different to the others despite a seemingly similar set-up. Douglas was definitely at his sneakiest in this episode and Arthur was at his most delightful, but I felt that Martin dismissed the flying circus theory far too quickly!Rach Cherryadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885926056816186727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-26351110768166850812014-12-13T19:31:21.338+00:002014-12-13T19:31:21.338+00:00First of all, I just want to say thank you for bri...First of all, I just want to say thank you for bringing us such brilliant comedy. I had a dark time this spring, and my introduction to Cabin Pressure was the only thing that could get me to smile for a few months, so thank you very much for writing it!<br /><br />Second of all, this is a brilliant episode. It is and it isn't a genre shift, and I love how it's still funny AND a mystery. It shows just how versatile some character archetypes are, and how the cast can stretch their characterization without breaking it entirely. Speaking as someone whose taste in mysteries is everything from any form of Sherlock Holmes to Agatha Christie to Nancy Drew to Amelia Peabody to Columbo to Brother Cadfael to Aunt Dimity to Scooby-Doo, I thought it was a beautiful example of a fair-play whodunnit. All the clues are there for the audience to figure it out before the cast does.<br /><br />Thirdly, I totally thought Carolyn took the whiskey until Douglas pointed out that she took a drink right in front of them all. After that, I stopped theorizing and just listened and laughed.<br /><br />Fourth, even though Martin lost (again), I'm glad that he got 950 pounds out of it anyway. I just like it when the characters are happy at the end of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14524408.post-64634000016361917712014-12-13T18:35:02.616+00:002014-12-13T18:35:02.616+00:00Hi,
