Cabin Pressure Episode 6: Fitton

MARTIN: Why do they always think you’re the captain, Douglas?

DOUGLAS: Oh, that’s easy. ’Cause I don’t care. Captains don’t care. I’ve been a first officer, been a captain, been a first officer again. All the same to me. So long as you’re happy, who gives a toss how many rings there are on your sleeve? Whereas you always look like you want to be the captain, so people assume you can’t be one. You’ve gotta lose that look.

MARTIN: But I have always wanted to be an airline captain.

DOUGLAS: Really?

MARTIN: Yes, ever since I was six.

DOUGLAS: Ah. And before that?

MARTIN: I wanted to be an aeroplane.

DOUGLAS: I see.

MARTIN: Why – what did you want to be?

DOUGLAS: Oh, various things at different times. I studied medicine at university.

MARTIN: You wanted to be a doctor?

DOUGLAS: Well, I wanted to be a medical student. They seemed to have the most fun. I’m not sure I ever wanted to be a doctor – glamorous, but...gloopy.
