Although British Ariways is not my favourite airline, ranking slightly above Ryanair but still plagued by mediocrity, there is one thing about flying with them that never fails to bring a smile to my face. Their in-flight magazine. More specifically the name of it. "High Life". Now "The High Life" was a BBC series broadcast in 1995 and starring Alan Cumming, Forbes Masson, Siobhan Redmond, before Alan Cumming found Bond (or Bond found Alan Cumming). Sadly, despite rumours of more to come, only one series was made. Set at Glasgow airport and following the fortunes of the crew of Air Scotia this was a quirky, and extremely camp, comedy. More than ten years since it was shown I can still be heard to exclaim "oh deary me" when, at times, it really is the only thing that can be said.

Oh I loved that show!
ditto! why o why do such funny things never seem to get picked up. At uni there was a group of us that took any opportunity to see them with their Victor & Barry alter egos!
