We can now confirm that The Detective will be back for yet another Christmas Special and this years festive episode is called 'Family Values' Written By Lewis Wheelhouse. Pre-production began on the christmas special on the 2nd of November and filming commenced on the 21st November with Lewis Wheelhouse.

Pre-Production was delayed on the Christmas special as it was originally set to begin in October with filming set later within that Month however due to Val Wheelhouse's (Executive Producer) accident, she had to be taken into hospital and we had to pause every production until everything had settled down. At the end of October Val had been discharged from the hospital and Pre-production began on the following week. Val's accident had left her with pots on each legs and due to the state she was in we had to take her out of this years christmas special. The synopsis was quickly re-scheduled so that Mrs Lyons character will be away from this years special and this will be explained in the story.

Due to Val's accident, this Christmas Special became a challenge because most of the Christmas Special has been worked on by Producer Lewis Wheelhouse who has taken on various roles as part of this years festive episode. 

"This Years Christmas Special has been a personal challenge to me because it usually takes around 3 to 4 months to shoot an episode and definitely a lot longer to edit it but we had to do all that in the space of 9 weeks due to the scripts been written literally last minute. I've had to taken on most jobs in this years christmas special, as you'll probably find out in the credits (My names written all over them) and it's a huge achievement for me to take on so many jobs and get this special produced in a record breaking time, It might not be in the world record books however it is a huge achievement for me to get such an episode done in a little amount of time. I've had the most fun on this years christmas special, and I'm sure you'll all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed filming it."
