Turas Bóthair is back! For the fourth series (partly filmed in pre-Covid times!), we join some familiar old and new faces.
Cars across Ireland are rigged with cameras allowing us to eavesdrop on what people are really talking about. The series puts its finger on the pulse of the Irish psyche giving us a unique slice of life normally hidden behind closed doors including our Belfast tag team, Orla and Cónall. This dynamic duo attempt to put the world to rights from behind the wheel of the car, keeping us entertained throughout every single episode of the season!
As well as an array of engaging drivers and their passengers, it features moments of joy and sadness, comedy and tragedy, love and loss, friendship and romance, regret and reflection, despair and hope as drivers and passengers share their personal stories and views on love, relationships, sex, drag queens, drugs, illness, death, scams, Greta Thunberg & the environment, childhood obesity, WW3, 2020 and the first lockdown.
Amongst the characters we meet are University students Sorcha & Seoirshín, school friends Caoimhín and Niall, sisters Nóra & Úna, taxi driver Grace with a number of different customers, and the chuckle brothers Muiris and Gabriel!
Turas Bóthair was filmed on location in Counties Donegal, Mayo, Kerry, Galway, Waterford, Derry and Antrim with support from NI Screen’s, Irish Language Broadcast Fund.
Turas Bóthair airs Thursday 15 April 2021, 8pm on TG4
