  • Lisa McGee mined her own experiences to create a comedy, set against the backdrop of the Troubles in 1990s Derry, of unique authenticity and warmth that has struck a real chord with the public. After only one season McGee’s wonderful characters have already achieved an iconic status in the world of TV comedy. Here McGee and cast members Nicola Coughlan (Clare), Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin), Dylan Llewellyn (James), Louisa Harland (Orla) and Siobhan McSweeney (Sister Michael) talk about the comic genius of Derry Girls.

    The fact that Dylan actually responded to James though.

    Derry Girls is great, such an underrated series. The second series' ending was genuinely brilliant.

    I discovered this show a year ago but it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I've gotten around to watching it. This show is phenomenal! As a child who grew up in the 90s and educated at a co-ed catholic school, I'm so happy to watch a show that brought back happy memories. I hope there will be more seasons to come. Cheers from the Philippines. :)

    Need to find out ... thanks for posting. Always good to see a woman's point of view, methinks. Nan always referred to almost anything as The Troubles. Ah, the word BANTER. Such fun. Fearsome nan, Katie would be proud. Even meeting Irish people in Cyprus remembered by so called fearsome nan!
