Cabin Pressure + Poirot (Part 1) @fairytalesandfandoms 's fault<3

[vonlipvig]

In the clammy darkness of the cave you stop and listen. There is a noise behind you. A frantic scuttling on cold wet stone. A hot breath drawing ever closer to the back of your neck… and then past, stopping next to your ear.

“How do you feel about lissstening to thingsss?” The voice hisses. “I hear that the radio comedy sssseriesss 👉 Cabin Pressure 👈 hasss ssssquad dynamicsss and character archetypesss that might appeal to you.”

Immediately you spin around, ignoring my alluring words and delivering your trademark uppercut directly to my head. You feel me crumble to dust under your blow, the show I’m trying to promote having finished airing a decade ago this year.

from now on i will only be accepting reccs in the form of strange tabletop-esque encounters only.

anyway, it's funny you should ask, cause...GET DRESSED YE MERRY GENTLEMEN! you definitely know me well because i love cabin pressure, what an absolute gem of a radio show.

(i mean, of course i've listened to cabin pressure, c'mon. i was deep in the sherlock trenches back in the early 10s, of course i was gonna end up there!)

but yes, cabin pressure is so fucking good, my friends and i still yell 'YELLOW CAR' whenever we spot one, lmao.

Cabin Pressure Advent Day 9: Ipswich

IIIIIIPSWIIIIIICH!

In my opinion, Ipswich heralds a really key moment in the development of not just Cabin Pressure, but John Finnemore's (solo) projects in general- it's his first really genius episode in terms of plotting, where he first utilizes Chekhov's Gun with pinpoint precision while also building a watertight and well-structured plot that incorporates great character work.

He shows signs of it earlier in the show, obviously, but this is the episode where he first does it basically seamlessly. Douz is the closest, for sure, but the culminating moment of the plan, however genius it is, still handwaves away a few inconvenient questions like "is it any more legal to drive a plane on the highway than to take off without clearance?" Other episodes also have some good moments but the Chekhov's Gun placements are a bit obtrusive (Cremona and Edinburgh, for example).

(I'll make a note about Gdansk- it has some great Chekhov's Guns, but the plot is basically constructed AROUND them. That requires a lot of its own skill in plot construction, but is different than here.)

What I think is so great about Ipswich is that

a) the Chekhov's Gun is not just planted seamlessly, it's also planted unobtrusively- the masterful way that the number "nineteen" is hammered into our heads at the beginning, only for there to be a red herring appearance of the question/answer that puts us off our guard, and then that final moment of realization and resolution... it's just so good. Smaller ones like Martin's inner ear issue are also handled super well- we hear about it in a very specific context that is relevant to the plot and we don't even think twice about, only for it to come back in a new way later out of nowhere. Chekhov's Gun blends in perfectly with the decor.

b) everything is directly in the service of the plot, and makes sense. This is where there's the difference from Gdansk- there, there wouldn't BE a situation in the first place without some of those Chekhov's Guns that were planted (like the seven dwarves game), whereas here there is a very specific plot (how does MJN do when they need to prove their skills in front of regulators) and all of the Chekhov's Guns directly relate to that. Douglas's use of the "hey chief" line is hilarious both the first time and the second, and is used in utterly characteristic ways that also fit in completely logically with what they've been doing in this episode. There's of course a certain amount of coincidence that you have to allow because that's what makes it a sitcom episode rather than real life, but everything is still done incredibly realistically. (At least, from a human perspective- I don't actually KNOW whether the trainings are like that, but from what others have said they seem to be at least somewhat based on reality so that's cool!)

c) everything is directly in service of the theme! There is also a theme and it melds perfectly into the episode- who is the alpha dog. From beginning to end, we know that this episode is about power struggles, and the fact that something that just seems like a (fucking hilarious) joke- Douglas's whole "hey chief" routine- ends up coming back in something that he addresses, in a certain amount of seriousness, to Carolyn is just perfect. It shows what is only confirmed in the next scene- that Douglas knows who the alpha dog is. And, incidentally, one of the reasons why he knows this is his own realization that if they don't pass, it will "make him feel unemployed." He HAS to concede and that makes the moment only more powerful. (I'd also add that the "Marvin and Dougal" convo serves as a kind of textual evidence for Martin and Douglas, in this episode's power struggle, really being equal beta dogs, but that's not a Chekhov's Gun, just close reading.)

Anyway, I may be overly reading into any of this, but the upshot is that I listened to this, after listening to the prior eight episodes, and was just so massively impressed by the structural quality in a way that surpassed any of the prior episodes- but which I know, as an obsessive listener, is only a harbinger of some brilliantly plotted episodes to come- and the next one is, of course, the fantastic Johannesburg tomorrow!

[spacecoyote]

what ARE the episodes where you can hear jf laughing at his own jokes

hahahah a decade of sitting in front of him at tall tales has lead to this

offfff the top of my head the clearest you can hear him is in the opening of douz where martin says '... or to look out of the windows!' and the cold open of gdansk where douglas says '... ready to follow golf echo echo' lmao, I am sure there are others but they elude me rn

I've been tagged by @metalhoops. ❤️ Thanks!

Last song: La Complainte du phoque en Alaska (1974) by Beau Dommage. I asked Spotify to create a French playlist and it's all oldies but goodies (except for L'Amérique pleure by Les Cowboys Fringants which is fairly recent - 2019). A lot of melancholy, though.

Currently watching: Like many people, I just finished watching Good Omens season 2. It was good but also a punch in the gut. I'm also watching WipeOut episodes to turn off my brain!

Currently reading: Mostly fanfiction on AO3 - raincoatdrown just updated their fic After School Special after a long pause, so I got back into this lovely Destiel fic. I started forever ago Douze Coups de Théatre by the legendary (locally at least) playwright and author Michel Tremblay. It's really good, but I have had a lot of trouble picking up physical books lately.

Current obsession: Apart from Supernatural and Jensen Ackles, I'm thinking a lot about watercolor and how to draw Batman characters (I'm participating as an artist in the @wipbigbang.) I'm also currently looking at a lot of job postings because... yeah. I'll be unemployed in September.

Sometimes you need to do the funny accent, not the accurate accent

Relistening to the first series of Cabin Pressure and British sitcoms have so little time to find their footing. Finnemore doesn't hit quite the right balance in the sharpness and conflict and character dynamics until "Douz", the fourth episode. If I said an American sitcom, pre-streaming (are sitcoms even a thing as streaming originals or are they confined to network television?) hit its stride four episodes in, you'd be like DAMN that is impressive, whereas here the first series is already halfway through.

I've heard Finnemore talk about the importance of The Idiot in the sitcom and how easy it is to do The Idiot a disservice by making them the butt of the joke and the joke is always how they are stupid in comparison to other characters. "Douz" is the first episode where Arthur in his simplicity contributes to resolving the conflict of the episode.

It's also the first episode where Caroline gets to be something other than a threatening force of authority and as fabulous as Stephanie Cole is when she's dominating and no-nonsense, she's sublime at showing very real vulnerability within a sentence or two of dialogue. (See also the Double Acts episode, "The Queen's Speech").

The Incompetent Character in Charge of the Competent Character foundation of the premise, with two supporting characters to oil and grease the machine, finds a stronger structure as more of an ensemble comedy in what is, considering the final total series run, a quick time, but god the pressure to get there in six (or heaven help you, four) episodes.

The craftsmanship required of something done an extraordinary level, even something as soap bubble solid as a sitcom. It's a hell of a thing to think about sometimes.

Entre brumes et neige - épisode 22

Episode précédent

___

Comme attendu, la caravane arrive en vue du village où restent nos héros. Deux carrioles transportant chacune douze tonneaux, encadrées par neuf soldat. Anthemos se tient en embuscade juste après le pont qui entre dans la ville, Orvasa est prêt à bondir depuis un balcon à l'opposé et Cynthia et Andhiir sont à l'abri sur les toits des maisons ; l'embuscade est parfaite. En l'espace de quelques secondes, l'escorte a disparu et seuls deux soldats sont assommés pour les interroger. Seul souci, le cheval tirant la première carriole a pris peur et a dû être abattu, laissant derrière lui une grande quantité de sang argenté répandu par les barils de sa cargaison brisée.

La vérité est que les soldats savent bien peu de choses. Ils ont été accueillis par Teothos dans le monde des morts et le servent depuis. Le sang argenté, d'après eux, est devenu une ressource rare et surtout nécessaire à l'accomplissement d'un rituel pour leur maître. Afin de ne pas se perdre dans la géographie en mouvement permanent des Limbes, ils utilisent une lanterne. Malheureusement cette dernière a été brisée dans la panique du cheval au devant de la caravane. Avec l'aide de Gaël, Cynthia parvient à la réparer et le groupe reprend la route avec la seconde carriole emplie des tonneaux de sang argenté.

Le groupe longe pendant un long moment une mer grise et plane qu'aucun mouvement n'anime. Pas une vague, pas une onde qui vienne perturber l'eau. Puis des docks apparaissent, avec plusieurs embarcations de petites envergures : barques, bateaux de pêche. Trônant au milieu des mâts, une embarcation plus imposante et son équipage en pleine discussion avec trois personnes des Clans. L'équipage, en revanche, n'a pas les traits animaux des Clans. Plus loin, trois cerfs aux bois coupés broute de l'herbe éparse au pied d'un arbre rachitique. Reconnaissant la caravane, les ombres des Clans font de grands signes à nos quatre héros avant de se rapprocher - non sans avoir récupéré leurs montures. Les cavaliers mettent la caravane en garde contre des "personnes avec des reflets" qui rôderaient. D'après eux, Plumnos les aurait aperçu et ils seraient là pour interrompre le rituel, qui d'ailleurs a besoin de plus de sang au plus vite ! Les trois cavaliers enjoignent donc à la caravane de retourner vers Teothos rapidement une fois leur chargement pris - sans se douter qu'ils se trouvent face aux fameuses "personnes avec des reflets" qu'ils viennent juste de citer.

Le navire part, les cavaliers aussi et la route retrouve son calme jusqu'à ce que le ciel s'assombrisse un instant puis rougeoie. Dans l’œil du rougeoiement apparaît un pilier de feu qui tombe à une vingtaine de mètres de la carriole. Sa puissance est telle que tous en ressentent la chaleur. Dans les cendres que les flammes laissent au sol, on peut deviner les squelettes carbonisés de membres des Clans. Sans dire un mot, le groupe continue mais ne peut s'empêcher de penser à Amarande et à ses flammes.

Le chemin continue le long de la mer immobile. Il faut un certain temps avant que la monotonie de cette côte ne soit brisée. L'eau s'invite à l'intérieur des terres, recouvre une mosaïque d'une fine pellicule liquide et baigne les pieds de seize trônes arrangés en cercle. Sur chaque siège mangée par une mousse brune parsemée de cristaux jaunes, une couronne rouillée et sur un trône se tient une personne maintenue assise par des ronces aux épines impressionnantes. Son menton est posé sur son torse, soulevé par une respiration régulière. L'homme est endormi.

Anthemos décide de le réveiller et ce dernier les prend d'abord pour des serviteurs de Teothos venu le torturer pour lui soutirer l'emplacement du cœur. Lorsque Cynthia lui montre le coeur au fond de sa besace, ce dernier se calme et explique qu'il est Ascernos, un des ancêtres légendaires des Clans, celui qui a ouvert les ponts des esprits les uns après les autres pour permettre la fuite de son peuple face aux béhémoths. Devant eux, Andhiir, Anthemos, Cynthia et Orvasa ont celui qui a caché le cœur de Teothos, qui a résisté pendant des cycles et des cycles à la torture sans révéler la position de l'organe clef du roi des morts. Cynthia et Andhiir observent les ronces et comprennent qu'elles sont enracinées dans le corps même de l'être légendaire. Les retirer pourrait causer sa mort... enfin... sa disparition pure et simple. Andhiir essaye d'en dissiper la magie mais le sortilège s'avère bien trop puissant pour elle.

Que vont faire nos quatre héros ?

Cabin Pressure Advent Day 4: Douz

DOUZZZZZ!!!

OK so after my previous posts, where I was like "well these episodes aren't fully baked yet but soon we'll get to Douz which is where it gets really good," I kind of knew that I'd have to describe WHY I think that once I got here. So here's my attempt.

First of all, that's not to say that this is fully matured Cabin Pressure. The show builds and builds on itself and in my opinion consistently gets better. But I do think that Douz has some things that the prior episodes don't:

The obvious one is that we first see the cracks in MJN Air. Carolyn is vulnerable for the first time on the show (and TBH probably the first time ever? lol) and we now know not only that Carolyn's a bit of a tartar about money, but that she has to be to keep the company going.

Plus, Douglas now knows what the real stakes are, because now HIS job is on the line too- so he can't just mess around as easily with Martin anymore to sabotage him in revenge, like he did here by planting the idea in Martin's head that Jutteau was trying to scam him and sitting back to await the disaster. There's a boundary now- his revenge or hijinks can't risk the operation of the airline. We also now know that it's not just that there's a general power struggle and Douglas tends to be pretty sneaky- we know that Douglas is the guy who always has a plan, and that's a role he's going to stay in for the rest of the show.

A lot of this does end up coming down to Yves Jutteau just being kind of an amazing cartoon villain, and that's one of the great things that allows the zaniness of the plot to work. Not to ruminate excessively over Cremona, but that one fell flat to me plot wise, partly because it felt just a bit too complicated and contrived. The Douz plot is less complicated (it also doesn't have a B plot, besides for Arthur taking the airline photo, but everything has more space to breathe), and I think it's paced a bit better so that it feels like a relatively natural setup, but in some ways the ending is equally unlikely, if not more so- why is it a massive legality problem to take off but not to DRIVE AN AIRPLANE ON A HIGHWAY?! (After looking on Google Maps, Douz to Qibili is moving AWAY from the desert TOWARD more populated areas, so it seems kind of risky.) That's where Jutteau is so brilliant, and Hester Macaulay fell short- she was just an unpleasant woman, and Jutteau is a cackling adversary- and incidentally also played HILARIOUSLY by John Sessions. When you're dealing with the fallout for a situation involving a normal-scale unpleasant woman, you expect that fallout to feel normal-scaled; when your adversary is a veritable comic book baddie, the big daring escape can feel more cartoonish in scope.

So basically what we have now is- the show's still growing and changing, but now we know that the existence of this airline is going to be the thing that drives them forward. (Well, not Martin, exactly, because as of two episodes ago he was looking for other jobs- but he's always going to do his best anyway, and we don't know yet that he's not being paid here.) Douglas and Carolyn, both VERY strong personalities, know that they will sometimes have to sublimate themselves for the sake of the airline- which is basically doing that for each other and for the other members of the team. (Arthur, of course, benefits from this because we already kind of know that this is the sort of guy who's living his best life and that shouldn't be fucked up for him.)

Which means that something really important has had ground laid here- the idea that they all need each other, rely on each other, and are all identified with this airline/airdot. And where would the rest of the show be without that?

Also, at some point this will stop being the kind of thing that's specifically noticeable to point out, but Benedict Cumberbatch by now has gotten veritably enthusiastic in the credits! It's very fun.
