Cabin Pressure is a 2008 BBC 4 radio sitcom, written by John Finnemore, about a small charter airline – or, technically, an 'airdot', as you can't put only one aircraft in a line.There are two pilots: First Officer Douglas Richardson (Roger Allam), the good one, and Captain Martin Crieff (Benedict Cumberbatch), the safe one. The attendants are Carolyn Knapp-Shappey (Stephanie Cole), who started and owns the airline after getting the plane as part of her last divorce settlement, and her well-meaning, if dim, late-twenties son Arthur Shappey (John Finnemore).Much of the humour comes from the tension between the two pilots, Carolyn's penny-pinching ways, and Arthur's stupidity.The series was completed after 26 alphabetically-entitled episodes: four series of six, one Christmas Special, and a two-part finale that was broadcast on Christmas 2014. Since the series ended Finnemore has revisited the character of Arthur on several occasions, most recently for a video spin-off, "Cabin Fever", about Arthur in self-isolation.

Opinion Flip Flop: Carolyn's sister initially berates her grandson for attacking Martin with his kung-fu skills, until she hears Martin clipped him on the ear, which provoked the attack in the first place. Then she starts laying into Martin for attacking a "defenceless child", in spite of the evidence proving this is bunk, like the prone and beaten Martin.

comment
Car Ride Games: Arthur is fond of a game called Yellow Car, most prominently featured in "Ottery-St-Mary". The rules are as follows: when you see a yellow car, you say "yellow car". Arthur also assumes everyone on all car journeys is playing, even when they specifically tell him they're not, until: Though by "Zurich", even Douglas is playing it.

"Well Done, Son" Guy
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_1779f10e
comment
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Understated (it's a comedy after all), but Martin harbors some angst over the fact that his father, who was frustrated with his son for "wasting" thousands of pounds re-taking failed aviation training and exams, died a scant four months before Martin qualified and got his first job as a pilot. He also keeps it a secret from his family that he's been using the van his father left him to run a side-business as a delivery man, only to discover that his father had left it to him for precisely that reason (to his older brother's considerable jealousy).

Poor Communication Kills
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: In "Vaduz", Martin is anxious to get through procedures with ground handling agent Otto, and insists they can handle almost everything themselves - until Otto mentions fuel, and he says they'll need about three thousand litres. However, Otto interprets this to mean they need an extra three thousand litres, whereas Martin actually means they need to be topped up to three thousand litres. Although the resulting extra weight does not put them above maximum takeoff weight, it does mean they're above maximum landing weight when they get to Fitton, and they end up flying in circles around the airport for several hours to use up the extra fuel.

Take Our Word for It: Frequently, since we only have the characters' reactions to judge anything by. This is often abused for Rule of Funny. The size and elaborateness of Martin's hat apparently has to be seen to be believed. Arthur demonstrates two different bows, and asks which of them is more suitable for greeting the King of Liechtenstein. The second one involves a significantly longer pause, is described as "a bit fancier", and apparently involves his hat falling off.

Reveal Shot: Finnemore has said this is one of the things he likes about radio comedy; counter-intuitively, it's easier to write visual gags, because you don't have to use artificial camera tricks to control what the viewer can "see", you just don't tell them things until the moment it's funniest to do so.

In "Zurich", a joke is made that Arthur put brake pads worth 2000 pounds in a van only worth 500. This is a twofer, as not only does the cash difference mean that MJN can buy back GERTI from Bruce Fraser, but it later turns out that Like Father, Like Son, Gordon hid his gold as the wiring aboard GERTI.

Chekhov's Gag: Often an apparent one-off joke will become important later in the episode; Douglas running his car on spare aeroplane fuel ("feeding a rabbit cheetah food") in 'Douz'; turns out you can also feed a cheetah for a short while with an awful lot of rabbit food. Both the freezing cold metal sticking to flesh, and the Gordon's Gin, in 'St Petersburg'. In "Zurich", a joke is made that Arthur put brake pads worth 2000 pounds in a van only worth 500. This is a twofer, as not only does the cash difference mean that MJN can buy back GERTI from Bruce Fraser, but it later turns out that Like Father, Like Son, Gordon hid his gold as the wiring aboard GERTI.

 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: In "Edinburgh", Douglas' kit bag contains a hip flask full of water, a bottle of shampoo for coloured hair, and a bottle of nail varnish. One of these items is a Chekhov's Gun, the others are red herrings. And then he does it again in "Paris" with a bottle of apple juice and another bottle of nail varnishnote actually a bitter treatment for nail-biters that comes in a similar bottle and that Douglas swapped labels with a genune bottle of varnish... In "Ipswich", Martin tries mentioning he has an inner-ear abnormality during the swim test, which requires him to wear ear plugs while swimming. It comes up again in another test. Turns out he faints if he gets dizzy. Further, in the same episode, it is mentioned very clearly to Arthur, and is repeated at numerous times throughout the episode, that air regulations demand a flight attendant for planes of 19 passengers or more. At the end of the episode, just as MJN Air is about to fail its safety clearance due to Arthur's screwing up, Douglas reminds everyone that GERTI has only 16 seats, and so they are able to make the fiction that Arthur is to be considered just an enthusiastic and helpful passenger to get him excluded from the tests, allowing a re-do.

Lampshade Hanging: Third series episode "Newcastle" features a different actor (Tom Goodman-Hill) playing Martin, owing to Benedict Cumberbatch being off sick. (In the two preceding episodes, his voice is noticeably croaky, to boot.) In a lampshade-heavy Cold Opening presumably written at the last minute, the other three cast members have a conversation about what would happen if one of MJN's two pilots were to call in sick. When the recast Martin enters the flight deck, Arthur comments that he's looking extremely well, but Douglas claims he looks exactly the same as always.

Bland-Name Product: Douglas and Herc's former employer 'Air England', probably because British Airways wouldn't appreciate the implication that they'd ever employed anyone like Douglas. G-ERTI is a 'Lockheed McDonnell 3-12', which doesn't exist as a real aircraft. Presumably a combination of Lockheed Martin and McDonnell Douglas. Subverted in the Birling Day trilogy: John Finnemore never thought that the Talisker would make a return after Edinburgh, so he didn't bother making up a fictional whisky, which he would've done if he'd known there would be multiple episodes where all the characters repeatedly mention how delicious it is. He is also quite adamant that he doesn't have shares in Toblerone.

Sadly Mythtaken: In-universe in "Cremona", it seems that Quest for Camelot (not that one) takes quite a few liberties with Arthurian Legend, to the confusion of Martin and Douglas. For one thing, Excalibur is a Living MacGuffin, not a sword. For another, he turns out to be a vampire.

Alphabetical Theme Naming: The 26 episode titles go through the alphabet from Abu Dhabi, Boston and Cremona to Xinzhou, Yverdon-les-Bains and Zurich. While originally broadcast a bit out of order, series creator John Finnemore has stated that he prefers the full alphabet.

Out of Order
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_335ac42e

Out of Order: Each episode's titular location starts with a different letter of the alphabet, starting with A and the the intention being for the complete series to run A-Z (see Idiosyncratic Episode Naming above). In series 2 "Helsinki" and "Gdansk" are swapped aroundnote "Gdansk" was due to be the series opener but was changed as "Helsinki" had Alison Steadman as a guest star, and the producer felt it would help if the episode with such a high-profile guest star went first because when newspapers review radio shows they tend to review the first in the series, and series 3 goes Q-P-N-Onote on account of Benedict Cumberbatch losing his voice for "Newcastle", which was meant to be the series opener, and being replaced by Tom Goodman-Hill; it was thus felt odd to start the series with that episode, which led to some tinkering with the order.. The originally intended alphabetical order was reinstated for the complete series boxset.

It Was with You All Along: In "Zurich", it turns out that the answer to MJN's financial problems was right there onboard GERTI the whole time. And not only that, but once the gold wire has been stripped out and replaced with regular copper wire, GERTI will be much lighter and more efficient. Not to mention that Martin isn't as bad a pilot as we might have thought - GERTI is very heavy for her size.

Comic Trio: Played with in "Ottery St. Mary", with its very The Three Stooges-esque premise involving Martin, Douglas and Arthur being hired to move a piano. Martin is responsible for the "scheme", such as it is (and constantly excuses himself from heavy lifting because of his sprained ankle); meanwhile Arthur and Douglas' usual roles are switched when it's revealed that it was Douglas who lost the van keys and thus derailed A Simple Plan.

Batman Gambit: Douglas' scheme in "Kuala Lumpur" (to make Martin think Carolyn had shut down his secret bar, when really she'd been a regular patron before he found out about it) relied on Arthur being such a Bad Liar that Martin would realise the bar had been set up again, Martin calling Carolyn and then immediately regretting doing so, and Martin picking up on his hint to give her the one bottle filled with apple juice. He knows his colleagues inside-out, Douglas does. His plan to get to stay at the Excelsior Hotel in "Cremona" is possibly even more complex. He plays on Carolyn's nonexistent tolerance for being talked down to after film star Hester Macauley calls her "dearie" by suggesting that she tell a local group of fans of her appearance as the Lady of the Lake in Quest for Camelot that she is staying in the Excelsior. Meanwhile, Martin has allowed himself to be talked into booking the state rooms at the Excelsior instead of the rooms at the rundown Garibaldi over the road. Douglas proceeds to fleece the Quest for Camelot fans for several thousand euros by offering them a chance to pretend to be hotel staff and thus meet their idol, then uses the money to pay for Hester to stay in the state rooms while he takes her old room at the Excelsior and sticks Martin and Arthur with his old room at the Garibaldi. Every step of his plan relies on everyone involved behaving exactly as he expects them to do - except he doesn't reckon on Carolyn wanting to watch the mayhem she has tried to engineer...

Actor Allusion
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_392372f9
comment
Actor Allusion: Played with in the Series 3 episode 'Paris'. According to John Finnemore's blog, he promised Benedict that he wouldn't put in Sherlock references just for the sake of it. True to his word, in an episode where Martin attempts to track down a missing bottle of whisky with his trusty sidekick Arthur, he is repeatedly likened to... Miss Marple. He also narrowly avoids quoting Sherlock Holmes in the line; Speaking of Miss Marple, it gets even funnier: In "Limerick", during the evil name game, Martin suggested Agatha Christie. Benedict was in a TV adaptation of the Christie novel Murder is Easy, as a local detective aiding Marple. Back in the first series there is an apparent premonition of his role, when he mentions the Sherlock Holmes book The Hound of the Baskervilles. John Finnemore's promise to Benedict didn't stop him from having Martin's ring eaten by a goose in the season four episode 'Uskerty'. He thought fans wouldn't notice the reference to The Blue Carbuncle. He was very, very wrong. It didn't stop Martin's brother Simon from being a minor government official in "Wokingham" either. It's not the first time Roger Allam has had confusion over swapping alcohol for water. In "Limerick", Douglas reminds an over dramatic Martin that he's not in an Arthur Miller play. He'd know. And Douglas would certainly know something about how to compliment people for their lifestyle and dressing choices (the "captain in a red cocktail dress" question in "Yverdon-les-Bains"), given that his actor dressed in drag in La Cage aux folles. To be precise, a red cocktail dress.

In "Zurich", he is heard talking to his latest girlfriend, Tiffy.

Fortunately, Douglas has an idea.

Credits Gag: Benedict Cumberbatch reads the credits to "Qikiqtarjuaq" in the fake French accent Martin was forced to assume after Douglas informed everyone he was French. He also slips into a Spanish accent for the final credits of "Johannesburg", which despite the name takes place mostly in Spain. In "Ottery St. Mary", a piano version of "Those Magnificent Menin Their Flying Machines" is playing as Benedict reads the end credits instead of the usual "Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila." When Benedict/Martin finishes reading, Douglas starts singing the chorus, joined by Arthur and Martin.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The audience's laughter in the first episodes is quieter and politer (as you might expect for a new Radio 4 sitcom from a then-unknown writer). By series 3 they're liable to go into hysterics at every line, likely down to Benedict Cumberbatch's star rising with Sherlock. The credits become noticeably more enthusiastic with time. In the first two episodes, Benedict Cumberbatch does them in a polite but rather unspectacular way. Then they start to get more enthusiastic and by series 4 the credits go for as long as Mr Cumberbatch doesn't run out of air. Carolyn was originally intended as more of a supporting character, with Douglas and Martin as the leads; this setup changed when Stephanie Cole was cast, but is still apparent in several Series 1 episodes that were written prior to that. The first two series suggest that Arthur is quite a big guy (his uniform is described as baggy when Martin has to wear it, and he's portrayed as a Big Eater to the point that he eats seven quiches in one sitting). Finnemore dropped it upon discovering that listeners didn't seem to picture him that way. In the first series, GERTI's size and specifications tend to change according to the plot, or for the sake of jokes. Around series 2 the plane becomes established as having 16 seats and two engines.

Disproportionate Retribution: Deconstructed. After Mr. Leeman thoroughly insults Martin and reduces him to tears, Martin convinces Arthur to break into the toilet and hose Mr. Leeman down as soon as he starts smoking again. But when Mr. Leeman suffers a lethal heart attack from being showered in foam, Martin is horrified and ashamed.

"Johannesburg" begins with the pilots being reprimanded for "dropping a bomb" (a melted-together mass of party sweets) that narrowly missed a BMW. It ends with them "firing a missile" that does hit one (a bottle of water left inside the jet exhaust).

Mistaken for Prank Call: When Princess Theresa of Liechtenstein first calls MJN in "Vaduz", Martin is convinced the caller is one of Douglas' friends on a wind-up. Douglas insists this isn't the case and takes the phone... operating under the assumption that Martin is responsible for the prank call and tried to throw him off by answering the phone first. One quick Google search (upon the recommendation of Theresa, who clearly seems to get this reaction a lot) later and they are both suddenly a lot less sarcastic...

The annual tradition of "Birling Day," when they fly the wealthy Mr Birling to wherever the final of the Six Nations is being held, whilst Douglas steals the bottle of very expensive Talisker whisky provided for him. They take him to 'Edinburgh' in series one, 'Paris' in series three, and 'Timbuktu' in series four (it's not really in Timbuktu, but he decides he'd rather go there than Twickenham). Only series two didn't have one (although it gets a nod — one of the stolen bottles of Talisker is a minor plot point in 'Kuala Lumpur').

Finnemore hoped to be able to make a 'Zurich' episode to wrap everything up, but made 'Yverdon' in such a way that it could stand up on its own if that wasn't possible. He eventually confirmed that a final episode would be broadcast in 2014.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Martin gets one in "Boston" courtesy of an uncooperative passenger who eviscerates his lack of credentials as a pilot. Carolyn's sister gives her a scorching one in "Helsinki" over her failures in her professional and personal lives.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Twice, in "Gdansk". Arthur's well-meaning attempts to help Martin win a bet send Madame Szyszko-Bohusz into a paranoid frenzy. At the end, Carolyn has finally succeeded in getting Madame Szyszko-Bohusz to trust her when Martin using the cabin address to relay the names of the Seven Dwarfs sets her off again.

"Zurich" is layered top to bottom with these. Martin referring to himself as Martin du Creff when speaking over the PA in (now fluent) French, calling back to Qikitarjuaq. Herc and Douglas playing The Travelling Lemon. Arthur's appalling Australian accent. Back in "Edinburgh" Carolyn referred to Arthur's mysterious attraction to "bossy pony club types with Alice bands and stupid names". The Previously on… for part 2 of "Zurich" is Arthur on the phone to a girl called Tiffy who does dressage.

Bratty Half-Pint: Maxi, the King of Liechtenstein. He's fond of threatening to chop off the heads of schoolmates who make fun of him, which Martin recognises as the same kind of petty pomposity he resorts to. Carolyn's 14-year-old great-nephew Kieran in 'Helsinki' is a pompous, arrogant windbag who takes every opportunity he can to belittle the four crew members of MJN Air while boasting about his own prowess at flight simulators, the lute, and martial arts (Martin finds out the difficult way that this last is not idle boasting).

Product Delivery Ordeal: In "Ottery St. Mary", after Martin twists his ankle, he has to call in for help from Arthur and Douglas to assist his removal van company in moving a piano from a house in Fitton to a pub in the titular Devon village. However, due to Arthur's stupidity, they end up failing to pick up the address of the pub in the first place, and then (it's assumed) Arthur accidentally locks the keys in Martin's van, so they have to use their airplane to fly to Devon, after which they have to push the piano all the way from the airfield to the pub.

Throw the Dog a Bone: At the end of "Ottery St. Mary", in which Arthur's stupidity has been repeatedly and particularly cruelly pointed out to him, it's revealed that he was right about giving a set of keys back to Douglas, thus making the majority of the episode's hijinks Douglas' fault. At the end of "Vaduz", Martin has scored a date with a real-life princess who happens to be a bit of an aviation geek. A couple of in-universe examples: At the end of "Limerick", Douglas actually lets Martin win one of their games. However, the alarm of Martin's "genuine" Patek Philippe kind of ruins the moment. After winning a whole series of bets to Martin (and then finding out that he doesn't have a salary) in "Gdansk", Douglas gives Martin a hint to a quiz, letting him finish ahead of Carolyn.

Foreshadowing: "Johannesburg" begins with the pilots being reprimanded for "dropping a bomb" (a melted-together mass of party sweets) that narrowly missed a BMW. It ends with them "firing a missile" that does hit one (a bottle of water left inside the jet exhaust). In "St. Petersburg", the episode which featured Gordon trying to steal GERTI, Carolyn said, "I can see the next three hours are going to fly by on gilded wings." She had no idea how right she was - it was revealed in Zurich, the episode in which Gordon tried to steal GERTI yet again, that GERTI is literally partly made of gold (specifically, her wiring is gold instead of the usual copper). In "Zurich", GERTI gets auctioned off as Lot 42. Also known as the answer to life, the universe, and everything. She turned out to be the solution to everyone's problems.

Mood Whiplash: St. Petersburg goes from word games to an impending crash and sirens going off in the space of a second. Subverted in "Wokingham"; Martin gets the rest of the crew to humiliate his brother by regaling the rest of his family with stories of what a great pilot he is. At the end, Martin's mother suggests he may have been a bit too cruel, asks him not to do anything like it again and assures him that his brother loves him. For a moment it seems like Martin is genuinely guilty... but it soon becomes clear that it was one of the most enjoyable things he's ever done regardless.

comment
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Each episode is the name of a town or city in alphabetical order: Abu Dhabi, Boston, Cremona, etc. They're ostensibly the setting or flight destination for that episode, but there are variations on this — sometimes they travel there by other means ('Ottery St. Mary', 'Wokingham'), sometimes they spend the whole episode in one place ('Fitton'), sometimes they set off for a destination but don't get there before the episode ends ('Johannesburg', 'Limerick'), sometimes they only pretend to go there ('Kuala Lumpur', 'Timbuktu')... Parodied by the video spin-off "Cabin Fever", which is about Arthur in self-isolation during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic - every episode is called "Fitton". Except for the last, which is called Great Spinwell in honour of the location of Arthur's new flatshare.

The Blind Leading the Blind: A Running Gag in 'Abu Dhabi' is each of the main characters trying to explain to Arthur how planes' wings work. Carolyn is out of her depth almost immediately, Martin gives the classic primary school "the air on top has to keep up" explanation (which Arthur scotches with "but why does it have to?") and Douglas gives a more accurate explanation regarding relative air pressures. When Arthur asks how planes are able to fly upside-down, even Douglas has to deftly change the subject. In a more literal example in "Ipswich", the crew fails a fire drill after Arthur, designated leader for the drill, grabs onto Martin (last in line) to lead them to safety while they all wear smoke hoods.

Loophole Abuse: The resolution of "Ipswich", when Arthur's ineptitude is about to get MJN closed down: Douglas realises that there's no obligation to have Arthur on staff at all because GERTI doesn't have the minimum number of seats required for a steward to be compulsory, resulting in Arthur being downgraded to the passenger roster.

Epic Fail
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_b4eff8a8
comment
Epic Fail: MJN Air is required to take a safety test during "Ipswich" and it goes badly. Really badly. It starts with Arthur being asked to take the lead, and managing to misinterpret the instructions to hold the belt of the person in front of them to include himself as well. This means the four get lost in a mock-up of a plane filled with smoke, until Martin passes out due to a medical condition. Then Arthur decides to take his smoke hood off because he can't see and passes out from smoke inhalation. Slightly more impressive is that neither Carolyn or Douglas noticed they were going around in circles for four minutes.

comment
Mr. Sargent from "Ipswich" is a subversion, he initially jokes affably with the crew and even tries to help Arthur with his revision, but due to his Too Dumb to Live nature, as well as Douglas' Deadpan Snarker comments which are mostly directed at him (and seem more insulting than usual), he becomes extremely agitated.

Bothering by the Book: From "Newcastle", annoyed at his sniping at the state of GERTI, Martin insists that an engineer fix a broken lightbulb before they take off from Birmingham to Newcastle, despite the engineer cheerily telling him not to worry. The engineer hits back by insisting on using a cherry-picker, safety harness, hard hat etc, even though the bulb is six feet off the ground. Things just escalate from there. Herc finally has to bribe him with £50 to get him to stop.

Impossible Task: The Swiss Airways candidate theory exam is specifically designed to return scores no higher than 60% (as anyone scoring higher would have had to memorise every word of the operating manuals, no matter how trivial). When Martin scores 99% (and only because they misread a number in his one "wrong" answer), they assume he's cheated.

Playing Both Sides: In "Cremona", Carolyn is her usual brusque self toward film star Hester Macauley, who retaliates in kind and gains the upper hand by threatening to cancel the contract with MJN unless Carolyn waits on her for the entire flight; Douglas decides to use the bitterness that develops between them to his advantage. He tells Carolyn to get revenge on Hester by telling local fans of her appearance in Quest for Camelot - a role she hated and that has attracted a fanbase she hates even more - that she is staying at the Excelsior Hotel in Cremona. Then, he defuses Hester's anger by getting the fans to pay a fortune to pretend to be hotel staff to give them a chance to meet her, and uses the proceeds to pay for Hester to stay in the state rooms Martin allowed himself to be talked into booking, while Douglas himself takes Hester's old room.

The Hilarity of Hats: Martin's captain's hat apparently looks even sillier than it would otherwise because its wearer is so uncaptainly. Arthur apparently made himself a steward's cap, even though his job doesn't require one, which thanks to its creator by all indications looks very silly even when it is not being worn.

Shout-Out
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: In 'Boston', a passenger named Mr. Leeman dies and is inspected by a Dr. Price. In episode 4 of series two of Fawlty Towers, a guest named Mr. Leeman dies and is inspected by Dr. Price. Leeman's first name of Hamilton is a reference to another Fawlty Towers guest called Mr Hamilton who was likewise an obnoxious American. In 'Douz', as they're taking the plane out of Douz airport, Martin tells Douglas "Right hand down a bit, Number One." Meanwhile, the cricket team, as celebration, are singing "Self-Preservation Society". Mr. Birling, who first appears in 'Edinburgh', is named after a character from An Inspector Calls (see also Orphaned Reference under the Trivia section). In 'Fitton', the majority of the episode is spent on stand-by waiting for a passenger named Goddard. Though Goddard does eventually arrive. In 'Gdansk', Douglas and Martin bet on which is more popular between cheesecake and strudel. In 'Johannesburg', Martin wears a pair of Aviators and Arthur mentions that he looks like a certain other vertically challenged pilot. Being Arthur, he gets the name of the movie wrong, causing Martin to express his dismay at being likened to Jeremy Clarkson. In 'Kuala Lumpur', during a "Mystery Passenger" roleplay, Arthur refers to a Scottish passenger he has created as Mrs. Badcrumble. In 'Limerick', Arthur is attempting to learn the phonetic alphabet so Martin and Douglas quiz him whenever he pops into the cockpit. On one of those occasions, he spouts a series of names that includes Milly, Molly, and Mandy in that exact order, which references the children's book series Milly Molly Mandy. In 'Molokai', Russian oligarch Mr. Alyakhin owns a company which sells "massive yachts". As a special bonus reference Mr Finnemore himself wrote many sketches for that show including all the massive yacht ones. 'Molokai' also features Carolyn responding to a proposed secret Santa exchange with "what fresh hell is this?" - something Finnemore has admitted on With Great Pleasure he borrowed from Dorothy Parker. 'Qikiqtarjuarq' features Martin and Douglas making a bet on whether cheesecake or strudel is more popular amongst the passengers, which John Finnemore has confirmed is reference to a similar bet in Guys and Dolls. 'Paris' is basically one big shout out to BBC's Sherlock, in which Benedict Cumberbatch stars. 'Zurich' has Douglas and Arthur repeatedly saying "Bruce" in bad Australian accents.

Description Cut: "Douz" has Martin taking control of GERTI from Douglas, about to land her in strong headwind, insisting he can manage it. The scene then skips ahead to Carolyn reciting how epically he failed to do so: We get the opposite in "St. Petersburg", where we cut just before Martin makes a tense landing with only one engine, picking back up in the airport canteen where Arthur describes it as so well-handled, he and Carolyn thought Douglas did it.

Also, Douglas tries celebrating his daughter's birthday party by flying GERTI over his ex-wife's house in Barrow-In-Furness and dropping boiled sweets from the air brake cavity to her. Instead, the sweets melt in the warmth, resolidify into a "sugar brick" in the cold air, and end up hitting and killing a koi carp in Douglas' ex-wife's pond. Douglas serves carp for his and Martin's dinner en route to "Johannesburg".

Friendship Moment: "Fitton", while not a crowning example, is the only episode where Martin and Douglas are shown actually laughing at the same joke.

MJN picking Martin up after his interview in "Yverdon-les-Bains".

Triple Shifter: In "Wokingham", Martin adds looking after his sick mother to his already full schedule of piloting and moving furniture, and becomes so sleep-deprived that Carolyn refuses to let him fly.

Pass the Popcorn: In the final scene of "Cremona", we learn that Carolyn was planning to engage in this, and this is why she was in such a good mood when she phoned Martin and invited him, Douglas, and Arthur to dinner at the Excelsior Hotel. She was the one who sent the fans of Hester Macauley's performance in Quest for Camelot to the Excelsior as revenge for Hester's rudeness toward her, and was planning to sit back and watch the chaos unfold over dinner.

Whole-Plot Reference: A very subtle one, but "Boston" has a man named Mr. Leeman inconveniently dying, and the protagonists try to recruit the help of a Dr. Pryce, which is basically the plot to the Fawlty Towers episode "The Kipper and the Corpse", right down to the names of incidental characters. Subverted when Pryce turns out to be Not That Kind of Doctor.

Exact Words: In "Edinburgh", Arthur mentions that last Birling Day the old miser gave out £500 tips, and that they can't expect the same amount this time around. He just fails to specify that £500 was actually much less that Mr. Birling typically hands out. In "Xinzhou", Douglas assures Martin he has not touched his mysteriously bacon-scented shirt. He has, however, used Martin's iron to fry himself a bacon butty.

Jerkass: MJN seem to encounter a variety of these, largely as passengers, including Hamilton Leeman, Hester McCauley, Yves Juteau, Carolyn's sister Ruth and her nephew Kieran, and more notably, regulars Mr. Birling and Gordon Shappey. Mr. Sargent from "Ipswich" is a subversion, he initially jokes affably with the crew and even tries to help Arthur with his revision, but due to his Too Dumb to Live nature, as well as Douglas' Deadpan Snarker comments which are mostly directed at him (and seem more insulting than usual), he becomes extremely agitated.

Technician Versus Performer: Martin compares his and Douglas' respective flying styles this way, lamenting that he doesn't have the innate feel for flying that others do... but that needing to make up for that weakness has forced him to devote every fibre of his being to improving his piloting skills in every other respect, leading to his ability steadily progressing. Although this is ultimately what leads to him getting hired by Swiss Airways; he does a terrible interview, but the CEO is so impressed by his methodical knowledge of the book and refusal to break the rules that he hires him on the spot.

comment
The Alleged Car: GERTI is an Alleged Plane. After another pilot correctly identifies what model it is, Douglas replies, "Gosh, well done. Most people would have to stop and think before they said 'aeroplane'..." Subverted slightly in that despite being old, decrepit, twin-engined and small enough to only carry sixteen passengers, GERTI is capable of flying 10,000 kilometers nonstop in about 12 hours. Fully subverted in the finale when it's revealed that, by replacing all of the plane wiring with gold, Gordon inadvertently made the plane significantly heavier and more difficult to fly. And then there's Martin's Alleged Van.

Reverse Psychology: When Martin complains that he never wins anything in "Gdansk", Douglas bets Martin that next air traffic controller they contact will be female. Martin is suspicious of this, given that almost all ATCs are male, and bets the other way. Predictably, he loses. This makes him incredibly paranoid when it comes to the cheesecake/strudel wager... and he still takes the long shot, and loses again.

Accidental Murder: Arthur only planned to put out Mr. Leeman's cigarette when he sprayed him with a fire extinguisher in "Boston." He didn't expect Mr. Leeman to have a lethal heart attack afterwards. Also, Douglas tries celebrating his daughter's birthday party by flying GERTI over his ex-wife's house in Barrow-In-Furness and dropping boiled sweets from the air brake cavity to her. Instead, the sweets melt in the warmth, resolidify into a "sugar brick" in the cold air, and end up hitting and killing a koi carp in Douglas' ex-wife's pond. Douglas serves carp for his and Martin's dinner en route to "Johannesburg".

Brick Joke
 Cabin Pressure (Radio) / int_fe0330fb
comment
Brick Joke: Quite a few. Among them: Douglas's fake smoke alarm in "Abu Dhabi". The water bottle in "Johannesburg". The travelling lemon of "Qikiqtarjuaq". The bassoon in "Gdansk". In "Helsinki", Arthur explains he always wanted to go to said city because of the name ("it's like half helter-skelter and half twinkly!"). A few episodes later, in "Kuala Lumpur", he expresses a desire to go to that city, and Carolyn icily cuts in to inform him that if it's for the same silly reason (this time, thinking that it's got something to do with koalas and oompa-loompas), she will be upset. And it is. Returns in "Timbuktu", when Douglas manages to guess Arthur's associating it with a cockatoo, but not with his friend, Tim Buckley. (No relation.) Early on in "Limerick", the idea of letting Arthur do charades, which he is terrible at, is met with horror by Douglas and Martin. At the very end of the episode, having run out of anything else to do, and with several hours left on their flight, they finally cave. In "St. Petersburg", Carolyn tells Arthur that if they sell GERTI, they may have enough money "to buy an ice cream van." Three years later in "Zurich", Arthur turns Martin's van into an ice cream van. Martin's Captain at Swiss Air is called Loutre – or in English: Otter. So in a way, Martin is flying with a live otter in the flight deck after all.

Bigger on the Inside: Played for laughs in "Limerick" when Arthur is playing Twenty Questions to determine what the cargo is: Gets a Call-Back in one of the Cabin Fever quarantine videos, where commentators ask questions about what Arthur has in a tin. Inevitably, many people asked this question, and Arthur's reply was "Yes. Only in one direction, but still." It's a skipping rope, so it fits in the tin because it's coiled up.

A couple of in-universe examples: At the end of "Limerick", Douglas actually lets Martin win one of their games. However, the alarm of Martin's "genuine" Patek Philippe kind of ruins the moment. After winning a whole series of bets to Martin (and then finding out that he doesn't have a salary) in "Gdansk", Douglas gives Martin a hint to a quiz, letting him finish ahead of Carolyn.

Once a Season: The annual tradition of "Birling Day," when they fly the wealthy Mr Birling to wherever the final of the Six Nations is being held, whilst Douglas steals the bottle of very expensive Talisker whisky provided for him. They take him to 'Edinburgh' in series one, 'Paris' in series three, and 'Timbuktu' in series four (it's not really in Timbuktu, but he decides he'd rather go there than Twickenham). Only series two didn't have one (although it gets a nod — one of the stolen bottles of Talisker is a minor plot point in 'Kuala Lumpur'). Every series except the third has had a Bottle Episode featuring as little guest cast as possible, if any, and set entirely aboard GERTI, with little plot beyond the characters' interactions with each other.
