Liam Neeson just appeared in Derry Girls and no-one knew it was coming

Liam Neeson made a surprise cameo appearance in returning Channel 4 hit comedy series Derry Girls. The Northern Irish actor, 69, plays a police inspector who is intent on finding out the truth behind a burglary at the school.

Questioning main characters Clare, Erin, Orla, Michelle and James in a dimly-lit police interview room, the Taken star said: “We have had several reports of suspicious activity on the grounds of Our Lady Immaculate College this evening. Following up on that lead we discover you five on the premises, that the locks of the side door have been forced and the alarm system deactivated.

“Now we can’t get hold of the head mistress, Sister George Michael, but the caretaker has informed us that a substantial amount of computer equipment seems to have vanished.” Neeson stars alongside Nicola Coughlan, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell and Dylan Llewellyn, who have all returned for the eagerly anticipated final instalment of the series.
