ARTHUR:聽But that's not true. I'm fairly often just completely happy. Like, for instance, when you get into a bath quickly and it's just the right temperature, and you go "ooooh". I mean really no one gets any happier than that.
MARTIN:聽What a depressing thought.
ARTHUR:聽No, no, it's not though, because those sort of things happen all the time, whereas you're hardly ever, you know, blissfully happy with the love of your life in the moonlight, and when you are, you're too busy worrying about it being over soon, whereas the bath moments, there's loads of those!

I would like to thank Wes Anderson, who, in the course of his adaptation of The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, has illustrated for us how Martin Crieff imagines himself in the privacy of his own head.

The key thing about Cabin Pressure as a benedict-cumberbatch-containing piece of media is that initially, it doesn鈥檛 know that it has Benedict Cumberbatch Benedict Cumberbatch in it, and then when it does know this, it spends half an hour comparing him to Miss Marple and making it very clear that he falls short

Cabin Pressure is funny because a running theme of the show is Martin asking Douglas why everyone always thinks Douglas is the captain, and never once does Douglas offer the most obvious explanation: the twenty or so years of difference in age between them
so it reads like this:
man in his early thirties: why do they always think you鈥檙e the captain :(
man in his late fifties, working in an industry where age typically correlates with rank: bc i have self confidence :)

You are so brilliant that you make Arthur as happy as tossing an apple from hand to hand
You are so brilliant that even Carolyn has to agree when Arthur says you are brilliant
You are so brilliant that Douglas cuts out the middle-man and calls you "terrific"
You are so brilliant that Martin has invited you for a platonic[1] date to Duxford Air Museum. :-)
[1] Or not platonic! Depending on your preference. :D
