Death Certificate 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.
Caroline is a 55-year-old widow from Belfast. She lost her husband Angelo five years ago in a tragic accident. One day, while treating herself to a shopping trip to Derry city, she is convinced that she saw Angelo, alive and well, walking about Shipquay street. Georgina suspects that Angelo faked his death and agrees to help Caroline find out the truth.
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, Paddy McDonnell, Tracey Lynch, Lucy McConnell and Frazer Robb. It was written and produced by Marc McElroy.
