ARTHUR: But that's not true. I'm fairly often just completely happy. Like, for instance, when you get into a bath quickly and it's just the right temperature, and you go "ooooh". I mean really no one gets any happier than that.
MARTIN: What a depressing thought.
ARTHUR: No, no, it's not though, because those sort of things happen all the time, whereas you're hardly ever, you know, blissfully happy with the love of your life in the moonlight, and when you are, you're too busy worrying about it being over soon, whereas the bath moments, there's loads of those!
'Fitton', Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore, BBC Radio 4, 6 August 2008

Just put Arthur Shappey, Kitty Higham, and the angel Muriel in a room together and everything will be better and happier. A team of delightful cinnamon rolls. It would be BRILLIANT. :-)
(I was trying to work out if there's any creative person involved with all three of "Cabin Pressure", "Ghosts", and "Good Omens", and of course Ben Willbond is in all of them. :-) )

Rewatching early cabin fever and could genuinely cry at the amount of kindness imbued in it. JF really said “here are all the reasons why the covid lockdown is scary and unsettling but to Arthur it’s a brilliant adventure and he’s going to see you through it!”
