Dead Drunk Detective: Oh Christmystery

 

This post is about the series four Christmas special. You can listen to it here.

Christmas spent at your parents' house. Christmas with your friends. For the third instalment in this seasonal trilogy, I thought the next logical plot was the "joys" of hosting Christmas at your place.

This is the first time Johnny's parents - and the show - have visited Johnny's apartment. He previously said he sleeps there so rarely that he expects his landlord wouldn't recognise him.

Betty points out that Johnny rarely uses his gun. I have previously explained this is for practical reasons.

Santa working for the Grim Reaper has been canon in the Dead Drunk Detective universe since series one.

Johnny states he does not eat meat in case it gives him a taste for human flesh. I rewrote dialogue in this scene to make sure it did not imply he eats no food at all. Instead, he just rules out full meals.

As is tradition, the episode ends with a rendition of the minor key version of 'Jingle Bells' and the cast laughing with relief immediately afterwards.
