So, I'm finding it kind of hard to believe that no one's yet mentioned Cabin Pressure It's a very traditional sitcom, with broad gags, cliche plots, and characters you'd probably seen a thousand times. What sets it apart, other than the charm, is the talent on display. It boasts international celebrity otter Benedict Cumberbatch, Olivier award winner Roger Allam, Stephanie Cole (OBE) of Waiting for God, and the guy who wrote all of the actually funny sketches David Mitchell was in. It follows the staff of a small air charter firm while they deal with difficult passengers, play the kind of fun word games you'll wind up bullying your friends into playing, and get into the kind of scrapes that'd seem really hackneyed on television. It ended late last year with a two-part finale, the taping of which broke BBC ticket application records. It's a fun throwback, and you can catch old episodes on BBC Radio iPlayer (now available internationally) on its weird rerun schedule, or buy it on Audible. The complete box set is due out in the US in April.
