Dead Drunk Detective: Alcohauled

 

This post contains spoilers for the episode 'Alcohauled'. You can listen to it here.

This episode reveals something that has never previously been discussed: Johnny's motive for staying sozzled. 

After the previous season's look at Johnny's attitude towards being one of the undead, I wanted to explore another aspect of his new life. Thus Series three is all about the potential consequences of him sobering up. Johnny tells Jo he has been drinking ever since he turned, so believes being drunk has helped him retain his humanity and stopped him from going full-zombie.

This is not only the second time Cat has been cast a skeleton, but the second time she has played a skeleton who was (partly) responsible for committing the crime.

The intense final scene confrontation clocks in at almost five minutes and was recorded in pretty much a single take. The post-credit outtake is Arfie breaking the tension afterwards by making light of its seriousness.
