It was 2008 and considered witty. It says here.

My pleasure! Thanks for listening

Also, Dr Price is named after the doctor in The Kipper and the Corpse. #cabinpressure

Sadly, they don't. And even worse, neither do Talisker... #cabinpressure

He is!

That's what I've always said! And you could argue that even Martin's order was not a disproportionate response to someone repeatedly endangering the aircraft... #cabinpressure

1 table readthrough, 1 tech run then we're on! It's absolutely manic. All radio audience sitcoms are done this way and it's an astonishing tribute to the skills of the actors, the frantically rewriting writers and the Studio Engineers...
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) May 24, 2020
... which means, I realize, that Matilda Ziegler was there at the first and the last recording... #CabinPressure https://t.co/HcDTJTQyHY

I will now reply to a few replies (if you see what I mean) at random, but I'm afraid I can only do a few! #cabinpressure

Corking performaces all round too - amazed to think that and Abu Dhabi were rehearsed and recorded in one day between 1300 and 2200; first time we'd all met... #CabinPressure

Should you be overcome with the desire to buy me a coffee, that can be done here https://t.co/wytGVjDaEq ... but, obviously, there is absolutely no obligation.

Well, that's it! Thanks for joining me to witness Arthur's first murder. Sorry, I don't mean first. Only. So far as we know... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) May 24, 2020
Poor old Martin. I was much more into the idea of the doomed sitcom protagonist who always brought himself down when the series began... #cabinpressure

Ah, the beginning of the Toblerone obsession... #cabinpressure

Benedict does that speech so well. #cabinpressure

He's got a great future that lad, I'll be bound
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) May 24, 2020
I think this was inspired by a true story too - paramedics refusing to take a corpse off an aircraft. Don't think it was solved this way, though... #cabinpressure

WHY DOES NO-ONE TELL ME THESE THINGS

Hamilton Leeman, named after Mr Hamilton, the angry American in Fawlty Towers; and Mr Leeman, the inconvenient corpse in Fawlty Towers. #cabinpressure

There we go… two episodes into our family friendly radio sitcom, and the most lovable character has just killed a man. That’s how we do comedy in Britain. #cabinpressure

Shanwick ATC here played by the wonderful Matilda Ziegler... who went on to triumphantly return as Princess Theresa of Liechtenstein. #cabinpressure

...and so, on that occasion... no-one died. #cabinpressure

Only just noticed the prefiguring of the

Ipswich episode by the clever method of talking about Ipswich
I checked with my Dad this afternoon. When he was an airline captain, he did genuinely give this order once... but the crucial difference is he did it in front of the serial offender. #cabinpressure

The five times "fine"!!
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) May 24, 2020
He seems nice. I hope nothing bad happens to him. #cabinpressure

"Keep your goggles on." I'd forgotten that. #cabinpressure

First outing for Arthur's at-work voice. That's Kerry Shale being excellently hate-able. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) May 24, 2020
What a great big exposition cake to swallow. Never mind, at least we have Stephanie saying 'Lazy, lazy pilots' to help it go down... #cabinpressure

Second time we've given a clue to Fitton's location in the cold open... #cabinpressure

Cabin Pressure starts on BBC Radio 4 in five minutes. I will tweet along to it in this thread. I'll also use the hashtag #cabinpressure about two thirds of the time, and the rest of the time I'll forget to. (If last week is anything to go by, anyway.)

Just before we start, thought you all ought to see the leaflet we put out to drum up audiences for the recordings... pic.twitter.com/jK3e13WOf0
