Here's what John has to say about the last episode - quite a lot.

He writes just like Arthur talks.
Can't read the last post, yet. Hubby and me still have to listen to Y.

I thought Yverdon-Les-Bains was the best episode of Series 4. I barely stopped laughing for the entire 28 minutes.

SPOILER ALERT (SORT OF); Don't read further if you haven't listened yet!

I haven't read JF's blog yet so I could be way off here, but I'd like to predict that Martin decides to take the job and that Carolyn, Arthur, and Douglas end up moving to Switzerland, too, and somehow MJN is acquired by Swiss Airways and Martin becomes their boss. Since he's not exactly a genius--except, perhaps, at reading 600-page tech manuals--there is plenty of scope for additional episodes since Douglas is still resentful, Arthur is still clueless, and Carolyn still has to resovle her relationship with Herc. I think that would be, er, brilliant!

And I don't see how there cannot be a special episode for Zurich!

I mean, if 17,000 people tried to get tickets to the tapings, wouldn't the BBC take notice and realize they have something good going here? That's obvious to me, anyway!

It may be more about the willingness of writer and actors to continue.

Well, let's hope JF reads this forum!

Yeah.....and I was three of them, so maybe only 6,000 wanted a ticket

Wow, that's brilliant!
We could make a list like this, too. But I wonder if there's anything left unmentioned.
(E.g."Never let the steward sip your ......." .I forgot the name of the drink which does the same to Arthur as water to a gremlin... )

There are more rules in the commentaries, e.g. about the treatment of BMWs.

Mattlocked · February 22, 2013 7:19 am

Ah, I see.
Also something like this, lol:
“If female, do not, under any circumstances, attempt to engage the Captain in conversation. Ever.”

SusiGo · February 22, 2013 7:22 am

Poor Skip.

Mattlocked · February 22, 2013 7:23 am

Just thought of another one:

In case of snow never allow the steward to leave the plane - if you want to be home in time.

tiharoa · April 10, 2013 6:59 am

I hope you like this as much as I did

Wow, this is amazing. I love it!

Mattlocked · April 10, 2013 2:17 pm

Great one!!!
I was wondering if JF has seen it, and yes, he left a comment already.

Molly Hooper · April 10, 2013 8:59 pm

That's so cute!!!

anjaH_alias · April 10, 2013 9:09 pm

That´s awesome. I have just posted in on my facebook account, although I am nearly sure that I am the only person amongst my friends who understands it .

SusiGo · April 10, 2013 9:15 pm

I sometimes post CP things as well. Nobody understands them but so what?

Davina · April 10, 2013 11:18 pm

I've posted it on Facebook and Twitter but I expect general...apathy.
