BBC Radio 4 - Cabin Pressure, Series 4, Timbuktu

It's Birling Day once more, where the crew traditionally swap their dignity for cash.

It's Birling Day, as the charter airline crew swap dignity for cash! Stars Stephanie Cole and Benedict Cumberbatch. From January 2013.

Cabin Pressure is a sitcom about 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 they're flying squaddies to Hamburg, metal sheets to Mozambique, or an oil exec's cat to Abu Dhabi, no job is too small, but many, many jobs are too difficult...

Episode 1:

Hooray hooray, it's Birling Day once more, where the crew traditionally swap their dignity for cash! But where have all the camels gone? And why is Arthur reading a book?
