In This Way Up, Bea stars as Aine, who teaches English as a foreign language. She’s trying to get her life back to normality after a “teeny little nervous breakdown”. Her sister Shona (Horgan) is her rock, but Shona has issues of her own to deal with.

Motherland

Written by the brilliant Sharon Horgan, comedians Holly Walsh and Barunka O’Shaughnessy, and Helen Linehan and Graham Linehan (Father Ted), series 2 of Motherland continues to tackle the topic of motherhood with zany humour and painful realism.

Meg (Tanya Moodie) juggles having five children with her high-powered corporate job, which deeply affronts Julia: “I thought we all agreed that nowadays it’s unfeminist to have it all”. Luckily though, this is one sitcom that does.
