Rachael Neiman answers questions on the Radio 4 comedy series Cabin Pressure.
This edition of Mastermind was broadcast on BBC2 on 4 September 2015.

(Claps enthusiastically) I salute you girl! you are a credit to the Cabin Pressure fandom.

[@Knappa22]

I got all these right too. That's what comes of binge listening to the whole of Cabin Pressure about four times a year!! I always listen to it on long bus and train journeys. It must be frustrating not to be able to interrupt the host in this quiz show. With many of these questions you can tell she knows the answer pretty much immediately.

There's also a game you can play on bus journeys...

It's not just you.. I listen to them like other people listen to their favourite songs. I shudder to think how many times I've heard the whole lot.

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

Thing is the old presenter used to be Magnus Magnusson, and he did it in a way they could interrupt him, unfortunately this guy likes the sound of his own voice too much.

[@DesmodiumGames]

I am the exact same 😂

[@colleenhopkins5592]

As Arthur would say - Brilliant!!

[@TARDIS9]

I think we can guess what a certain someone (who may probably call himself 'Arth-nul-man-cat-sir-ann') would say - to put it quite simply, and in a single word, 'Brilliant!' Seriously, though, good on you, Rachael! You do all us Cabin Pressure fans proud!

[@dans1977uk]

I completely forgot Stephanie Cole's name! So, 13/14 for me. Fantastic effort by the lady in the chair!

[@ghostmadlittlemiss]

I'm pleased to say that the last one was the only one I struggled with. :) I'm sure it would be a very different story under pressure (no pun intended :D ) in a studio though. Well done to her, I hope she won. :)

[@lune78]

Yup, I got all the answers right too. I must have listened to every episode at least 20 times lol It's my go-to comedy show when I'm feeling down or stressed, never fails to make me laugh. I have to say I'm a little bit ashamed that I never noticed that the episode titles began with a different letter of the alphabet lol

[@Salena905]

Only listen to radio 4 every now and again, kept noticing Cabin Pressure listed, but never bothered. But how wrong was I to miss it. Caught it on KZbin and now I am a HUGE fan,(2019) it's hilarious,! can't get enough of it! 😂😂😂 Rachel you are an awesome! and you looked beautiful, love the hair colour.☺👏🙌👍

[@andrewfaraday8918]

The tuba question was such a curve ball. Amazing that she just got that!

[@FanDanGo86]

Just finished listening to it again. It's easily one of the best audio.... No! Forget that, one of the best comedies ever! I wish more people had hear of it. P.S. I got one wrong, I'll take that!

[@RetroRespawn]

I was looking for some Cabin Pressure content, because I introduced my son to it a couple of years ago and he listens to it every day. I once remarked that he could make it a specialist subject on mastermind. He got every question right except for the last one.

[@ashbashbaby2]

Think the questions were too long she could have answered twice as many

[@chap666ish]

Contestants can - and she should have - interrupted the question by saying the answer (or by saying "pass")

[@dogwalker666]

@@chap666ish never say "pass" give a wrong answer and you just don't get the point, Say "Pass" and you get penalised at the end.

[@chap666ish]

@@dogwalker666 Passes are only a penalty in the event of a drawn score. It's better to use passing (on long questions or questions you cannot interrupt with the correct answer) as a method of answering more questions more quickly.

[@dogwalker666]

@@chap666ish yes when there is a draw you get penalised, on the original format you can answer any time, now the questions are deliberately timed to give a more even chance.

[@richardsutcliffe8036]

What a great choice of specialist subject.......Revision: Having to listen to Cabin pressure episodes again and again and again. Oh the tedium; Must have been hell!...........Brilliant.

[@jackglossop4859]

She did well. Very well. I could answer all of these but not without pausing. And that says nothing for the pressure of doing it in the studio with the Humph. Well played Madame 👏🏻

[@jakejake1231]

Thanks for uploading. Good questions, too. Easy enough, apart from the last one. I thought it was the trombone player.

Love cabin Pressure. She did really well

[@AimeeColeman]

She's brilliant! 😁

[@CaffieneKitty]

Oh very well done! I kept getting distracted by Hose and Hydrant as the pub name, and the last one would have stumped me under pressure.

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

You forgot the Flap and Throttle! Well the first rule of the Flap and Throttle is... 🤣

[@jasonharding9490]

Wow, nicely done. Not many people can say they have beaten Michael Frankel in (at least part of) a quiz, he is a legend and apparently so too is Rachael.

[@Feakre]

13/14 - Didn't know the last one. Well done Rachael.

[@RobDavisAkaMonk]

That's the only one i got wrong too.

[@brianmorrison9168]

I picked the bassoon .. played by Madame Szyszko-Bohusz who was the troublesome one

[@elisabird6245]

She´d have got far more if they had made the questions shorter or let her interrupt.

[@RandomRadioJottings]

I agree that the questions seem longer than they used to be when you watch back old editions. I believe that the contestants are told not to interrupt

[@VonBlade]

@@RandomRadioJottings 100%. The old Magnus days you could get loads if you knew the answer quickly enough. These days they're timed to allow maybe 14 per round at best. Although I imagine that if CP was ever a future round the questions would be significantly harder. "How many whitebait do you get in a serving" kind of thing.

[@edwardtaylor8971]

Well she's blind not stupid, he did sound a little condescending. Plus if you listen to the radio plays on KZbin enough times you will answer most of those questions correctly. 🤣

[@paulshuttleworth6261]

So frustrating waiting him to finish unnecessarily long questions.

[@jellis2306]

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Is Mastermind just the special interest show?

[@RandomRadioJottings]

No, there's also a general knowledge round but I've posted some specialist rounds that are radio-related.
