Sad to hear about Anthony Head.
RIP Herc. #CabinPressure
Ugh, I really don't understand why Nintendo had a game with British characters voiced by Americans. Emmy's voice actor clearly doesn't know how to speak with even the stereotypical posh English accent (she pronounces dawn as Don, come on). I'm so glad they redubbed Luke. Even though his voice actor is a bit of a one trick pony (Ozzbozz!), at least she can do a proper cockney accent. The American voice actor for Luke is just 🤮🤮🤮
Given it's been a bit of a trend to have game characters voiced by Brits in recent years, I'm sure it wouldn't have been hard to get British voice actors.
And the same for the foreign characters on #CabinPressure voiced by Brits, they do such a terrible job 😮💨
I'm trying to find a radio sitcom that is even half as good as Cabin Pressure. Unsuccessful so far. I tried various suggestions, but none of them quite worked, always lacking something. Either the humour isn't quite right, or acting, or script. I wonder... it can't be one of a kind, surely.
Unfortunately I can't post a 26-choice poll, but...
What is your favourite episode of the BBC radio sitcom, #CabinPressure?
This week’s #SundayLit prompt is: Games
I've had to go digging into the depths for this one: a teeny fanfic for the radio show #CabinPressure where they play one of their classic cockpit games.
"Palindromes."
"Palindromes?"
"Yes, Palindromes. You know, words or phrases which are exactly the same backwards as they are forwards."
"Yes, Douglas, I know what a palindrome is." Martin shot Douglas a scathing glare from the pilot's seat. "I just can't think of any off the top of my head." He wriggled in the chair as he faced forward again, trying to hide his embarrassment. It didn't work.
"But, Martin, there's so many to choose from! There's single words like 'level' and 'racecar,' or for the more ambitious palindromists, sentences like 'able was I ere I saw Elba.'" The first officer was interrupted in his speech by the cockpit door slamming open. In barged Arthur, bearing coffee and his usual grin.
"Hello chaps! What's it today? Films missing their first syllables?"
"No," replied Douglas, "better. Palindromes."
"Oh, right. Like 'she sells seashells by the seashore?'"
"What? No!" Martin spun to face Arthur, and while he was turned that way, grabbed one the cups of coffee.
"That's a tongue twister," Douglas corrected, smiling smugly in his eyes, if not with his mouth.
"Oh." Arthur twisted his face into a "thinking" sort of look as he handed the first officer his own coffee.
"Ooh, I've got one! Dog...god." The excitement palpably fell from Martin's voice. "Doggod." Douglas was trying very hard not to laugh.
"Was that it? The least you could have done was 'God! Dog!' or better yet, 'God, a dog!' or even-"
"That's enough, Douglas. You've made your point. I'm not good at palindromes. I'm not good at any of the games you pick, actually. I want to choose the next one."
"Alright then, you can choose the next game... if you can think of one good palindrome."
"What? But I'll never come up with one!"
"Sure you can." The smug smile had spread to his whole face by now.
