<description> &lt;p&gt;WARNING DOES CONTAIN SOME MILD SPOILERS FOR EP 3 BLUE LIGHTS. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Derry Girls - Blue Lights connections are well and truly there if you dig deep. The TDGs are joined by Derry Girl Louise Gallagher who had the original idea for Blue Lights. She also has a feature film under her belt: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;‘A Bump along the Way’ and an award winning short film ‘Rough’. As well as having her own production company, Louise works for Hat Trick (who made Derry Girls) developing new NI drama and comedy writing talent. Without giving away any major spoilers we talk about Blue Lights, Derry Girls, kissing slurping noises in films and whether you go up, down or over the town! &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Notes: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Louise Gallagher - &lt;/p&gt;
