I came across this Radio 4 sit-com by chance, and "acquired" all four series off the iterwebz. I find it damn funny. Any other fans?

I've quite enjoyed this when I've caught it by accident on the car radio. Reckon it's a grower....

Yes, Zurich. I think there are 26 episodes, destinations in alphabetical order.

You can see that John Finnemore has thought about this, maybe too much!

Not surprising, he's a very good, funny and above all clever writer.

In reply to James90:

Oh, I agree. I'm definitely a fan. Tight, funny dialogue and intricate plotting with an all-star cast.

His Souvenir Programme sketches are brilliant too.

Super quirky gentle humour.

I really didn't like it at first, so I'd say so.

I love it, very funny in my opinion. Also Hut 33 set in Bletchley Park was a good one.

I think it's really very good! Though 'Arthur' can be a bit overly stupid at times.

It's worth regularly hanging around R4 at 1830hrs of an evening.

John Shuttleworth is also making a reappearance to R4 (www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cpqcs)

Not caught Cabin Pressure yet (why can't they run it after 10:30 pm on R4X) but Hut 33 is an absolute classic. Three series is just not enough!

Ha, I never twigged that. I just assumed that Benedict Cumberbatch would be too famous to carry on with little old R4

A cross between "Dougal" off "Father Ted" and the "Isn't things brilliant" kid off "The Fast Show".

I love it. Truly laugh out loud funny.

If you like Cabin Pressure look up 'Start Stop'. Its not at all related but just as funny I think.

Love it, even have the kids playing 'yellow car' courtesy of Arthur!

In Aus it's called "Spotto", we've played it since our daughter was a nipper. Nice to see it go international.

Yep really enjoyed it! Found it by chance after listening to neverwhere. Thou it did have to agree with a couple of the other posters that it was a grower!!
