The title This Way Up is intended as a wry acknowledgment of how Aisling Bea's character Aine is struggling to reorientate herself towards normality following a mental breakdown.

Aisling Bea interview

For Aisling Bea, the best way to star in a funny sitcom was to write it herself. Here, she talks about her father's death, social activism and not always trusting her own head.
