This post is about 'Dead Letter Day' and series four of Dead Drunk Detective. You can listen to the episode here.
This the twenty-fifth episode. While not traditionally hailed as a milestone, I thought to celebrate it, much as I had with the previous Christmas special, by featuring a lot of our series regulars. There's also a few references to past adventures including a nod to episode one and Jo's blackmailing past.
In a reverse of the pilot's premise, Hairy is initially thought to be the intended victim, but the culprit actually wanted to target someone else.
I cannot believe it took so long for me to use the phrase 'not today Satan'.
Satan's remark that some people in Hell actually enjoy being poked with pitchforks is one of the dirtiest jokes I have written since series one.
As with series three, I aimed to make this run a coherent whole. The villain's motive stems from Johnny's actions in 'Here comes the Died'. The final scene takes place in the brewery from episode one, a mystery where the eventual culprit was a character we had not previously "met".
This is also the case with Anne. She was listed in Johnny's rundown of fellow recovering alcoholics in 'Who's the Pawpetrator' and referenced again at the start of this episode. but does not actually appear until the cliffhanger.
