Derry Girls - Channel 4

[Avondhu star]

I wonder did the boul Gregory watch it?

He'll probably be putting a question in Westminster as to why it isn't called Londonderry girls.

And hopefully the Speaker will tell him to f**k off

Good auld show.

Will watch the rest

Not surprised by the reaction on here, gaaboard full of middle aged mid life crisis men who distain everything 

Nail on head!

I'm one of those aul fellas but I enjoyed it. Stupid but funny.

[Rois]

Agree with some sentiments on here - worth a giggle and brings back a few memories. I went to an all girls convent school and a lone fella joined at one stage. Yes, stupid, and yes, exaggerated, but it wasn't supposed to be a serious docudrama about Derry. The grandfather's funny.

I have to say I enjoyed it, first 10 minutes were dodgy enough but the Michelle character (I think that's her name) definitely tied it all together.

However, wtf is up with thon girl's accent? Horrendous effort that sounds like she's 80 and has smoked 40 fags a day!

I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't expect much and the first few comments here were pretty scathing but I like the idiot girl and Michelle, good characters. I thought the lone fella joining was the most unbelievable part of it, obviously I haven't a clue!  just out of interest what was the scenario that caused one lad to join an all girls school??

As Sister Michael said,  "There were serious concerns for his safety because, well, unfortunately James happens to be English."

I enjoyed Derry Girls. A funny wee sitcom, with a side ways look of growing up in the north during the early 90s. I like that while the Troubles is referenced throughout, it's not the focus and with the humour we grew up with.

Love the Derry lingo.

Just watched entire episode... I was a bit hasty writing it off after ten minutes... not bad and has a few laughs.

I understand the situation in the sitcom it was the incident Rios referred to in her post where a lad attended an all girls school whilst she was attending. Never heard of it happening in real life before.

She's 30 odd according to the ones in work.

It happened in the Convent, St Mary's Magherafelt, Co Derry.

She was in something else a few years back on bbc. About students in Belfast. Can't remember what it was called though.

Pish? Any jokes therein are a helluva lot better than your feeble attempts.
