day two • a picture
day three • a book/ebook/fanfic
day four • a website
day five • a youtube clip

So this is probably cheating, but do I care? Not at all. :D

Today's website is this wonderful YouTube Channel where you can listen to all three seasons of Cabin Pressure episodes. What is Cabin Pressure, you ask? Well, it is my most recent addiction (thanks, harriet_yuuko!), and a very welcome one indeed. That, and Red Fruits tea. But that's for another entry.

Fine, let's ask Wikipedia for a proper introduction:

Cabin Pressure is a radio situation comedy series written by John Finnemore. Its first series was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2008. The show follows the exploits of the oddball crew of the single aeroplane owned by "MJN Air" as they are chartered to take all manner of items, people or animals across the world. The show stars Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, Benedict Cumberbatch and John Finnemore.

It's just so hilarious. I downloaded it on my iPod, and just a couple of hours ago while listening to it I was laughing so hard I almost fell from the couch. Sadly, it's true, not a figure of speech. I can't recommend it highly enough. :D

I ♥ Cabin Pressure so hard! I've listened to it since the beginning and by now I know lines and lines by heart, which is a pity—NOTHING cheers me up more than some MJN Air banter in my ears! I can't wait for the new series!:D

(I've always had different episodes on my iPod and have actually gathered very odd looks on public transport. You know what I mean!)

It's absolutely impossible to keep a straight face while listening to Cabin Pressure. It's just so damn funny. :D

My only problem is I keep picturing Martin as Benedict. In his Sherlock coat and all. They keep saying he's supposed to be short and red-haired and everything, but I can't help it. And those promo pics of him in costume certainly don't help.

I'm trying to make it last. One episode a day and all. But it's just so hard to resist!

I know what you mean about trying to make it last. But at least it's totally excellent re-listening material!

I don't fight myself—I picture them the way they really look, like they do on the promo shots and that's that.:) Besides, I think they (the makers) have really accepted that people are seeing Benedict as Martin now. (When the first series aired, he still wasn't Sherlock, but then the boom happened!)

Let me dig out a link to a post by a girl who went to a recording of the third series, I think, and even snapped some photos!:D

Here it is! Check it out!

I adore how unselfconsciously they're smiling while they're not reading their lines.

Now I feel the urge to run around the room flailing my arms like a muppet.

THEY'RE JUST SO CUTE.

And Benedict's shirt jdhdasjdhflsfgfdfsh

*flails some more*

[stardust-made.livejournal.com]

They're seriously cute, I agree!:) And Benedict's t-shirt is a fannish dream come true on him!♥

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Ok, that's it. Another episode today. And then I'll be a good girl and wait until tomorrow.

As if. ^^"

Tu non hai idea di quanto io sia esaltata dal fatto che tu stia ascoltando CP! *balla*

Ho anche bloccato il tag Cabin pressure su Tumblr così da evitare spoiler. Sto andando fuori di testa. :D

Next stop: Edinburgh!

Oh, ma allora hai già ascoltato uno dei miei preferiti, Douz! Adoro come nel finale riescano a risolvere il casino tutti insieme (persino grazie ad Arthur), Carolyn e la sua confessione mi ha fatta sciogliere e la battuta finale mi fa ROTOLARE PER UN'ORA!XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Douz è la puntata che mi ha fatto rotolare giù dal divano. Letteralmente, purtroppo. :D

Poi è davvero geniale come ne escono, io non avrei saputo dove sbattere la testa.

E nota a parte, ma l'accento francese del cattivo mi ha fatto scompisciare. XD

I adore cabin pressure. Saw it being recorded in London, the xmas episode for 2011.

I adore the games they play " great johns of britain". All the actors are perfect for their roles.

It's amazing. I haven't listened to a radio show in years, so it has the added bonus of making me feel like a kid again. ^^
