Siobhán McSweeney, a star of Channel 4’s Derry Girls, had barely set foot in Northern Ireland before filming the hit comedy show. After falling in love with the landscape she’s taking to her electric bike to explore more of the lakes, mountains, coastline and forests for this new four-part series by Waddell Media which starts on More4 on Thursday 12 August at 9pm.
 
Siobhán’s affectionate and mischievous take on the province brings her to places such as Strangford Lough, the Mourne Mountains, the Fermanagh Lakelands, the Sperrins and the rugged Causeway Coast to find out more about these rural landscapes, historical homes and the fascinating people who live and work there.
 
Exploring Northern Ireland with Siobhán McSweeney is supported by Tourism Ireland and Tourism Northern Ireland.

Following the huge success of Waddell Media's one-off Britain's Most Expensive Houses, which reached 2.1 million viewers on first transmission and achieved an impressive 3m viewers in its first week of airing, Channel 4 has commissioned a four-part series.

The series will follow prospective buyers as they view and purchase high-priced houses across the country, as well as following the work and home lives of Sotheby’s estate agents.
