The Missing Influencers What Happens in Ulster

    • Comedy

True crime parody. Comedian Diona Doherty plays an ambitious young reporter trying to jump on the true crime bandwagon with a hit podcast.
Four famous internet celebrities flew to Northern Ireland for a fan convention. When their luxury coach broke down in the middle of nowhere, they accepted a lift from a stranger, then they vanished. Georgina hears that the police have a suspect in custody, so she blags her way into the interrogation room to crack the case her way. She teams up with a detective to interview the suspect and find out where the victims are before it’s too late.
What Happens In Ulster is a mockumentary series inspired by the wave of popular true crime podcasts and radio documentaries. Our ambitious young reporter believes that the fastest way to the top of the news business is with a cracking true crime documentary. All she needs is an unsolved crime, some victims and a suspect. And lots of crying would be great. If this documentary is a success, she could go on to present BBC Newsline or a Panorama. After that, who knows… Dancing On Ice? But first, she needs some drama, even if she has to create some herself.
This episode stars Diona Doherty, Conor Grimes, Aaron Butler, Patrick McBrearty and Ruth Curran.
It was written and produced by Marc McElroy.
