Dead Drunk Detective: The Ghost of Christmas Present

 

This post contains spoilers for 'The Ghost of Christmas Present'. You can listen to the episode here.

As the previous special focused on spending Christmas at your parents' house, I thought this one should be about sharing the holidays with your friends. This meant I could feature all of our series regulars and give them each a scene in which to shine and do their character's schtick.

This is one of the few times Melissa visits and is not roped in to solving a mystery.

'A vampire party goes all night! Because if it was at day, he would die' is one of my favourite jokes in the entire series.

In the previous episode, Johnny said he doesn't send Christmas cards. It is revealed by Hairy that he did - but they were written by Betty.

Satan implies that God exists in the Dead Drunk Detective universe.

Singing 'Jingle Bells' in the show more than once makes it a tradition! To maintain continuity, Dan sat out of the song as Satan would be at The Cough Inn during the party.

For the second episode in the row, the final sound before the credits is the cast breaking character and laughing. The podcast also ends with an outtake of Kate and Arfie having fun with the line 'you can say that again'.
