About Talking Derry Girls

Fancy a bit of craic?! Jeanie, Marie-Louise and Pauline love the Channel 4 sit-com, Derry Girls, based in their home city. We thought it would be fun to rewatch the series, and chat about each episode in detail. You don’t have to be from Derry, or even a girl. Being a Derry Girl is a state of mind. Come on in!

   Bonus Interview: Darragh Hand aka Liam Kells from How To Get To Heaven from Belfast

   The Talking Derry Girls chatted with Darragh before the series premiere and wondered how he was feeling prior to the launch. He plays Garda Liam Kells aka The Hot Cop, with a sideline in mechanics. Diet Coke break anyone? In ‘How to Get To Heaven from Belfast' as Garda Liam Kells, he has left Dublin in mysterious circumstances and is now stationed in the sleepy Donegal village of Knockdara. ( Directions available on request) He gets to flex his investigative and actual muscles as Saoirse’s will they/wont they love interest. Interrogation and taking down of particulars a speciality. He certainly got the measure of the TDGs.

   Bonus Interview: Caoilfhionn Dunne aka Dara from How To Get To Heaven from Belfast

   The Talking Derry Girls caught up with Caoilfhionn prior to the red carpet premiere in Belfast. For How to Get to Heaven from Belfast she plays Dara, one of the leads, friend of Robyn and Saoirse. She is the live-in carer for her mum. She is gay but suffocated by her Catholicism. All in all she's a hot mess of friendship, faith and fear! (All similarities to the Talking Derry Girls are purely coincidental!)
