Cabin Fever - Episode 17: Fitton 

Fizz, Buzz, Amput, Noz, Croin, Pry and Bun the mouses Brilliant names Arthur

The looming issue is what will happen when the granny flat closes for business? How do we get updates on the mouse family? Track progress on the piano playing and beard? Maybe we could have a staged exit plan with an option to revert back if too many listeners are adversely affected?

Brilliant mice names, Arthur. And congrats to John on the Cabin Pressure rebroadcast! I hope OJS gets some kind of royalties from it!

Next step... REUNION SHOW!! PLLEEAASSEEE!!!!!!

Even though I have all these on CD and have heard them so many times I still listened to it on Sunday!

I absolutely love those names but Bun is definitely my favourite. Please give the smallest and cutest baby mouse the name Bun it’s such a sweet little name.

Arthur did you know that the documentary, ‘Cabin Pressure’ has your piano piece as it’s theme tune? Also two of the characters in ‘The Archers’ had their names chosen by your random method, Shula and Kenton. Tell your friend John, he would love that, he really likes ‘The Archers’.

Yey! Congrats on cabin pressure getting back on the radio! John must be pleased!

Brilliant stuff. I’ve spent the entire lockdown so far listening again to Cabin Fever (the great R4 documentary) from the very start and have just today finished them all. I shall now start right again from the beginning at 19:15 this eve - marvellous. Thanks for keeping us entertained Arthur, and do thank John for the loan of his YT channel. 👍🏻

everyone: oh yeah, i love cabin pressure me: pretends i cant literally quote any episode at all word for word

I've been having a really rough week since I've been on my own since lockdown began and I've just caught up on the past 10 episodes. This is a wonderful pick me up and i missed Arthur's world view. I can't wait for more!

Next time I need a name for something I think I will go 'ave a banana....what a fantastic way to pick names! I am delighted to hear Cabin Pressure is being broadcast again. I must say I have found it very educational on all the previous occasions I have listened to it. I always thought there was a U after a Q until I found out about Qikiqtarjuaq and the rules for yellow car are particularly useful...Take care Arthur and all the best to your friend John x

When he was pulling out Amput I thought for sure the next letters were going to be a-t-e

During lockdown I have already listened to your documentary Cabin Pressure twice through, and now I get to listen again! How exciting!! Thanks for letting us know, Arthur, and congrats to your friend John on the rebroadcasting!

Please give John my congrats on the reairing of the show! I bought the CD set a few years ago and I will listen through the entire series from time to time. Usually when I'm cleaning.

I can't believe it's been 12 years since Cabin Pressure began...

Brilliant BBC tie in Arthur

What lovely mouse names! Although I was kind of hoping that 'Forty two' would come out of the bag first...

Dear Arthur, please tell your friend John that I hope he is less tired now, and (even though it's challenging these days) less worried. And please tell him thank you for sharing your wonderful videos. They always lift our spirits, make us smile, and help us remember that even when we're sad, there are still lots of things in the world that are BRILLIANT.

Thank you so much, Arthur. Love your appearances during lockdown. Please tell John I bought the complete set of Cabin Pressure, and listen to an episode every day with my lunch. Have lost count how many circuits that is. But I always scream when I want to go faster.

You are getting so good at the piano! And that was a very clever way to choose mouse names. Thank you!

How fascinating that the BBC made a documentary of you guys! And what wonderful mice names - do you think anyone's every named their actual children using that? Or maybe their fictional characters? I used a random letter generator to see what my five main characters in a play I'd write would be called: -Pemyena -Lonaok (isn't that very fantastical?) -Kheq -Qonv -Croky How interesting!

That's brilliant that there's a documentary about you!

Great to witness your creative process👍👍

I would love to see the Cabin Pressure radio show made into a cartoon version.

I have all Cabin Pressure episodes! I love them!

How cool that there'll be the chance for folks who already love the crew of G-ERTI to enjoy reminiscing about them and for new folks to learn who they are and come to love them, too! Oh, and they'll also get to know (or renew their knowledge of) that John Finnemore guy, because he's actually kind of awesome. ;D

anyone else think there was going to a secret code spelt out?

Arthur those are terrific names!

Five mice named Moe. So good!

The BBC would wait until I bought the CDs of Cabin Pressure to repeat them on the radio! 🙄 But I don't care because now I can listen to them whenever I like, (I'm trying to ration them to two a day so I don't get through them too quickly, but my self control is slowly failing...), and more people will get to hear them on the radio for the first time which is Brilliant! 😃

Love the lemon placement. That was well done.

The fact that he knows John was involved with the show, yet doesn't know why makes it seem like Arthur is a ghost that has been possessing John this whole time.

I feel there is a code within the mice names and I don't know why

thank GOSH it was Croin and not Croix, I was on the edge of my seat there

A very Hitchhikers way to decide the name of mice

Fantastic mice names

Say the MJN air OJS air bit as fast as you can MJN air my jet now air OJS air our jet now air.........

Ooh! Jomeo!

Hi John. I've listened to Cabin Pressure hundreds of time and really enjoyed it. However, I noticed that In the episode "Wokingham", Caroline and Douglas are trying not to use any words with more than one syllable, and Douglas loses on the word "mustaches". However Douglas really lost before that because when they were leaving Wendy's house, Douglas asks Martin "all okay"? The word "okay" is more than one syllable, therefore Douglas lost before he said "mustaches". This in no way takes away from how great the show is; this is just to find out if you already noticed this or not. Thanks for reading.

Brilliant! I was wondering how snoopadoop is doing, any updates Arthur?

you da best

Any chance John might do a video instead of Arthur now? I’ve got a pretty good idea what John’s been doing recently, but I’d be interested in his thought processes.

Oh yes it’s cabin pressure day

As the John in question seems to have the surname Finnemore (going by the title of the channel), was he your stunt double, because he does look an awful lot like you? Admittedly, it does seem a bit strange to have a stunt double in a radio programme, especially a documentary.

They’d better repeat it ALL!

Oh like Shula and Kenton in The Archers! Which you probably don't know. Another radio documentary.

Can Arthur do a new documentary, after lockdown or from granny flat, were he tries other jobs out? First 5 I thought of: Children’s presenter, news reader, detective, greengrocer (where the lemons are always in play, but beware the strawberries), & sommelier. 🤷‍♀️❤️

Was John your Arthur?

Is that a Harry Potter book on the bookshelf, a bit to the left of the Stein?

Autonomous?

Surely the Anonomouse or Eponomouse names only work if they are rodents of Irish ethnic heritage.

Ohh, that Lemon was hard to spot this time.

Maybe go with the sound names.

Hmm Croin... what if we put an extra N in the middle there?

Here are some more names cookie ice cream pasta and cheese and bubble and skweak

I think Arthur has put a couple of lb’s on since the lockdown...... mmmm, so have I 😝

Almost hidden by facial growth ....!!
