* A real life example. During a recording for the fourth season, John got a very special surprise. In between seasons his fans on Tumblr had been taking pictures of the traveling lemon at various landmarks all over the world, and they decided to make a book out of it. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5TlMzGKhUg One of those fans presented it to him personally, to his absolute glee.]]

* In the Series 1 episode "Fitton", [[TheDitz Arthur]] is relating the things that make him happy, [[MundaneLuxury which are all rather simple pleasures]] - slipping into a warm bath, cracking your knuckles, etc. The only one Martin and Douglas agree with him on is the feeling of tossing an apple back and forth and hearing the noise it makes as it smacks into your palm. This leads to one of the shortest, sweetest moments of the series, as Douglas starts singing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QxvPXK3Gv4 "We're Busy Doing Nothing"]], and the whole crew happily joins in.

* In "Rotterdam," Martin starts out incredibly jealous of the actor Carolyn hired to play the captain for the pre-flight film -- conveniently also named Martin -- who is taller, better looking, and looks better in a pilot's uniform. However, over the course of the episode, he discovers that he and the actor actually have an awful lot in common; as the actor too lives for his passion (acting) but not getting any recognition for it and not being able to live off it. In the end, the two Martins hit it off and become friends, agreeing to go out for a beer when they get back home to Fitton.

** From John Finnemore's blog, regarding Arthur's "test" for Zurich. Aw.
--> Arthur’s test was to stand up to the false (if biological) father in his life, firstly at the auction and secondly and most importantly by remembering his grandmother’s name, realising that he will never, ever have a genuine father/son conversation with Gordon Shappey; and renouncing him once and for all in favour of the two genuine father figures in his life – and in particular, the one who has always looked out for and defended him, even as he mocks him; the one with whom he can discuss the dames and the horses over a few pineapple juices; and the one on whom he can utterly rely to do something clever, and make everything alright.

* In "Johannesburg," Arthur's repeated encouragement of Martin to take the lead away from Douglas's belittling comments -- especially because it works.



* While the crew's plan to freeze Gordon's hands to the plane console was partially so they could get GERTI back, it's clear that they were also taking a wicked glee in shaming Gordon for his horrible treatment of Arthur involving the gin bottle present. It's rather sweet hearing them all come to Arthur's defense indirectly.

* In "Xinzhou," the crew keeps having to get up every twenty minutes to clear snow out from the intake despite the fact that they all need rest. In a sweet (though, of course, shortsighted) thought, when it's Arthur's turn, he tries to take it upon himself to stay out in the cold to keep the intake clear so that everyone else can sleep.

* During Series 4, Carolyn repeatedly tells Martin to look for other jobs so that he can earn a respectable salary, as she's sick of [[spoiler: not being able to pay him]]. It's sweet to see that Carolyn really does care about Martin, but when you consider that MJN would almost certainly go bust without him, it appears that she's actually putting Martin's happiness ahead of her own business.
** Also consider that Carolyn is torn between staying in Fitton for MJN, and moving to Switzerland with Herc. If she could no longer sustain MJN, the decision would be much easier for her. Effectively, she's urging Martin to move on as a roundabout, possibly subconscious way of getting ''herself'' to move on so she can be with Herc.

'''Douglas''': That's OK, you can start just as soon as I've given you mine. You're the captain, Martin. And one of the many excellent things about being captain, [[GoodLookingPrivates along with the irresistible sexual magnetism]] , and first crack at the cheese tray, is that you're always right. So by all means, take opinions, but remember, you don't have to listen to Carolyn, you don't have to listen to ATC, you don't even, and savour this, because I shall never say this again, you don't even have to listen to me.
