It’s pretty so and so, but it was so damn fun making, since I made up a whole story to go with the set. And I wanted to at least give it a try.
DOUGLAS: Good morning, madam! I am Doug; this is Mart and Arth. We are your man with a van or rather men with a ven.

DOUGLAS: Arthur provides the brawn to our little operation, madam. I, you may not be entirely surprised to learn, am the brains.
THE LADY FROM THE LAURELS: He doesn’t look very brawny.
DOUGLAS: True, but that’s nothing compared to how much he’s not brainy.
THE LADY FROM THE LAURELS: And what’s he for?
DOUGLAS: Martin? Ah, Martin here has perhaps the most important thing of all.
THE LADY FROM THE LAURELS: What’s that?
DOUGLAS: A van.Cabin Pressure, “Ottery St. Mary” 3x04
CAROLYN: Aren’t you interested in how all that happened?
ARTHUR: Did Douglas do something clever and now everything’s fine?
DOUGLAS: Yes.
ARTHUR: There you are then! Exactly what I said all along. I wish you lot would listen to me sometimes!
Favorite character from Cabin Pressure: Arthur.
And multitasking this one, because why has no one done otter!Martin yet?!
Now we just need 99 more of them.OH MY GOD THIS IS THE CUTEST THING
It could be the MJN Airdot Mascot, Skip!

Cabin Pressure Masterpost
Cabin Pressure by John Finnemore, is a radio series about an airline (or airdot) named MJN. They fly around the world, getting into various tough spots and being hilarious! I highly recommend it.
INFO: The series stars Roger Allam, John Finnemore, Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephanie Cole. Each episode is about 30 minutes long and each series has 6 episodes.
