GHAAAA Cabin Pressure Ipswich
Yes indeedy, they're recorded in pairs for reasons of, hem, money. The ol' Licence Fee doesn't stretch to recording the shows individually

Happy Birthday, Arthur! May your jelly babies be forever set to manual, and may there never be otters in your flightdeck.

Sadly we're not there anymore!

I know!

Doffs big hat...

Hooray! Thanks for joining me, see you next time to find out how many Spanish animals it takes to mow a meadow. If you would happen to like to buy me a coffee on Ko-fi, I will drink it with gratitude. But as ever, there's really no need to. https://t.co/wytGVjDaEq #cabinpressure

Ooh, I left in a tiny little audience whoop on the end of the fade - I must have been feeling particularly chipper that day.... #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
Another sound effect ending! ...Because there is never really ANY question that Carolyn is the Alpha Dog. #cabinpressure

Ooh, three call-backs in one speech. If you do them well, they act as multipliers. If you don't, they look forced and show-off-y. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
That 'good pilot and safe pilot' line is very much my rationale for MJN genuinely being perfectly safe to fly. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Well now, blush now John because this is a most brilliant piece of recall writing #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
It's definitely funnier hearing Phil Davis describing the ring-a-ring-o-roses than hearing it actually happening. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
I remember it being a breakthrough in rewriting deciding to do this incredibly complicated scene half in 'real time' and half in post mortem. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
I mean, this is just all of us holding our scripts in front of our faces... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Oh the joy of Phil Davis's recapitulation... #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
I don't think it's going to do any harm at this point to reveal that 'Adrian' the crash test dummy is named in honour of one of my most helpful research interview subjects. Who also let me fly a plane for a bit. Thank you, Adrian! On both counts! #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
This is very much a recap scene. Here's what's still to come, here's what's at stake, here's the value in contention. You have to have them sometimes. And it's nice to have all four of them quietly together in the middle of all the set pieces and sarcasm. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
There were a lot of "bleedin's" in this script, so thought I'd better check with Radio 4 first #cabinpressure pic.twitter.com/A0hhNQhqB4
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
Mostly, I bang on about how much easier it is to do visual jokes on the radio than on TV, but I have to say I think this scene came up quite well in the TV pilot script. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
This pool drill is indeed something all flight and cabin crew have to do regularly. As is the smoke-filled cabin drill that comes up later. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
"......scared of the mountain'. Beautiful. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Hooray! Pool reverb! #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
I mean, this scene is @All_Allam at his absolute FINEST. The pause before '...is it now?'. And of course the little monologue about to happen... now... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
... and we come to what I think is one of my favourite ever CP scenes. #cabinpressure #scaredofthemountain
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
This 'heavily hinting at the questions' bit was also directly from research. But without the 'not getting the hint' bit, obviously. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
As the show went on, I wrote more and more two hander scenes for @Stephdivacole and me . And if you had the chance, so would you. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Awwww Phil is so sweet in this scene. It's very moving #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
I love how Benedict delivers 'It's definitely occurred to Dougal...' That little wry wince... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
This CRM lecture is only very slightly tweaked from a book I found in the British Library. Sadly can't remember the author. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Yeah, you remember how no-one got paid that week.... https://t.co/YDcYPQ7Zcg
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
And Phil Davis! I mean, the calibre of guest cast @DavidTylerPozz managed to get us never ceases to amaze me. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Ridiculously gorgeous guest casting in this episode although I say so myself #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
Alex McQueen! Utterly peerless at cheery gung-ho-ist chaps. And much else besides. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
... and thus the listener now also knows "19", a great piece of setting-up-via-jokes by John.... #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
The little spin Roger puts on the word 'Haartebeeste'... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
In the TV pilot script I did for Cabin Pressure, the 'write it down, tear it in half, throw it away and shut your face' bit was Carolyn's first line. It does set her up rather well... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
... and the spin Roger manages to get on "... there's camembert...?!" #cabinpressure https://t.co/TDSFRStiGN
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
The division of the cheese tray turning up so often is very much something I was told by more than one pilot during research.... #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Ah, the "... and shut your face" line from Carolyn, forgot that was in Ipswich... #cabinpressure
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
Cabin Pressure about to start on Radio 4, so prepare to learn once and for all how many seats there are on Gerti. I will tweet along in this thread. Producer @DavidTylerPozz will also have things to say over at his place. #cabinpressure
— John Finnemore (@JohnFinnemore) July 19, 2020
Just a few mins to go before tonight's #cabinpressure... so rootled around in the cupboards and found the original marked-up recording script... pic.twitter.com/pjSfWNtrnR
— David Tyler (@DavidTylerPozz) July 19, 2020
Two hours to go until Cabin Pressure on @BBCRadio4! In tonight’s episode, when the crew have to go on a refreshers Safety & Emergency Procedures course, it spells trouble for Douglas’s inner dog and Martin’s inner ear... Live-tweet along starting 19:15 for episode 3 - Ipswich! ✈️
