THE COUCH: From Derry Girls to How To Get To Heaven From Belfast

THE COUCH: From Derry Girls to How To Get To Heaven From Belfast1 Sept15 min

Before there was How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, there was Derry Girls, the sharp-eyed comedy that made Lisa McGee one of the most distinctive voices in television. In this special, we trace the arc of McGee's work from the school corridors of 1990s Derry to the tangled friendships, secrets and dark humour of contemporary Belfast, and how she captures the experience of place, memory and friendship with equal measures of wit and tenderness.
