The complete ninth series of BBC Radio 4's award-winning sketch
show 'One of our best sketch writers' Observer John Finnemore
returns with his multi-award-winning sketch show, but this series
is very different to the previous eight. There are still sketches
and songs, and it's still written and performed by him and his
usual fantastic ensemble cast - but with no live studio audience,
John has taken the opportunity to try something new. Each episode
in this series of Souvenir Programme consists of scenes from one
person's life, played in reverse order. There's no narrative as
such - it's still a sketch show - but as we follow the characters
back in time, from lockdown Zoom calls to childhood birthdays and
funerals, the individual sketches link up to form an overall
picture, portraying the sprawling history of an entire
multi-generational family. And, as if that wasn't enough, there are
also some terrific tall tales, a paean of praise, and a truly
unforgettable earworm... Clever, complex, hilarious and poignant,
these Souvenir Programmes with a twist star Lawry Lewin as Russ,
Margaret Cabourn-Smith as Deborah, Simon Kane as Jerry, Carrie
Quinlan as Vanessa and John Finnemore as Newt. Cast and credits

Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and a prayer world of a tiny,
one-plane charter airline; staffed by two pilots, one on his way
down, and one who was never up to start with. Whether it's dealing
with a stuffed sheep, an angry princess or a rogue fruit tray, no
job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult. Carolyn
Knapp-Shappey, MJN Air's formidable boss, has employed two of the
very cheapest pilots money can buy: Captain Martin Crieff, who's
always wanted to fly and won't let a little thing like lack of
ability stop him, and First Officer Douglas Richardson,
smooth-voiced old sky god and eternal schemer. Passenger service is
provided by the relentlessly cheery Arthur, proud inventor of both
Surprising Rice and his own hat. Written by John Finnemore (John
Finnemore's Souvenir Programme, The Now Show), Cabin Pressure stars
Stephanie Cole as Carolyn, Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin, Roger
Allam as Douglas and John Finnemore as Arthur. 'The more I listen
to John Finnemore's Cabin Pressure, the more I think what a
stonking masterpiece it is. Perfect in every department.' - Philip
Pullman 'Unexpectedly brilliant' - Time Out 'An inspired new
sitcom' - Observer 3 CDs. 2 hrs 48 mins.
