]]> How To Get To Heaven From Belfast with Talking Derry Girls 2026 The Big Light Leigh McGrotty false en https://pod.co/how-to-get-to-heaven-from-belfast-with-talking-derry-girls 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.

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!)

She is formidable and has THE best wardrobe. A woman who manages to slip in manicures and highlights between school runs and doing the laundry for 3 boys. She is smart, self assured and ‘effs and blinds’ like a sailor with a Belfast accent. 

The Talking Derry Girls caught up with her before the series premiere in Belfast . The chat soon turned to friendship, Tayto crisps and just what is in that pink bag…

In How To Get To Heaven From Belfast she plays Saoirse the writer of a hugely successful crime drama The Murder Code. Together with Robyn and Dara she forms the trinity of friends with a shared past that they might rather forget.

She is engaged to the director of her show, the very dull Seb, but can’t help flirting outrageously with the hot cop Liam. Who could blame her?
