About this episode

What better way to celebrate your birthday than solving a crime and guzzling prosecco? Well, none if you're sports broadcaster Faye Carruthers, who did just that! Faye joined the drunk detectives for cake and crime, answering the question "is it ever OK for a town to murder someone if they're enough of a dickhead?" AND we find out that our own Drunk Detective Hannah wasn't always on the right side of the law when she confesses to a sugary crime from her early youth.
