Oh boy, I think I have a new obsession. Frequently Flying Stumbled across another airline “reality” show, one I hadn’t previously seen either. It was shot in 1998 and revolves around Britannia. Here’s one of the episodes on YouTube:

I’ve gotta warn you folks, this show is mildly addictive.

If you search YouTube you can find lots of other episodes. The names of the videos are formatted like this: “Airline (Britannia) 1998! S1 Ep1 Pt1”

So if you’re as obsessed as I am and want to see all the episodes, just search YouTube by changing the number behind “Ep” and “Pt.”

Anyone else going to waste the rest of their weekend on this?

@ Beau -- I think you're right. I ran out as well. Booo! Did love BJ, though. He was hilarious.

If you fancy a different piece of airline comedy, there was a show in Scotland in the late '80s called "The High Life". It starred a young Alan Cumming, and I seem to remember it being pretty good. It's on YouTube too.
