Smells Like Community Spirit

True crime parody. A small town is under threat when a cyber terrorist forces the locals to solve riddles in order to rescue some kidnapped tourists.

True crime parody. Comedian Diona Doherty plays an ambitious young reporter trying to jump on the True Crime bandwagon with a hit podcast.
What happens when a cyberterrorist directly threatens a small town in Northern Ireland? The dysfunctional locals of Six-mile-town are told that some tourists visiting their town have been kidnapped. Georgina tries to help the townspeople as they are forced to solve a series of riddles in order to save the tourists.

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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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, Tracey Lynch, Sean Hegarty, Roisin Gallagher and Paddy Jenkins.
It was written by Diona Doherty and produced by Marc McElroy.
