The dubbing thing at 2:20 is a weird product of a legal loophole in the broadcasting censorship of the time. News programs in the UK were prohibited from broadcasting recordings of statements by various Irish nationalist orgs including the Sinn Fein party. However, they were permitted to report the words said, so a lot of the time they would just have someone else read the statement over muted video footage.
I totally get Mary’s obsession with the bowl..I still think about why Deidre didn’t want the bowl anymore lol. And I quote “very sophisticated noses, John” way too much. Orla is my favorite!
I'm copying and pasting this comment for everyone who needs to know about the big bowl: Good news! The writer wrote a book, "Erin's Diary", in which a letter from Deidre to Mary is shown and she explains why she didn't want the big bowl. Apparently nobody in her house did the dishes so she started to slowly give away all the dishes (including the big bowl) because 'if they don't clean up after themselves, they can eat off the fecking floor like the animals they are.'

I have to laugh because up until this moment my brain automatically registered Jenny’s gift as a flat screen tv even though it definitely wouldn’t have been 😆 loll
I've been waiting for this episode. You are so right, the length of the series is not enough, however this is very common in British drama's and comedy shows, they tend to go out on a high and have a definitive story arc. As ever I love your analysis and humour and the way you show comedy can cut across all cultures and divides. Also to explain Gerry Adams, the British government essentially didn't want to give him a platform to espouse his anti British and pro republican views, so they were like we can just dub him.... Yeah that's the our government for you :p. Also Catholics would consider them Irish and Protestant British, The Troubles were as much a political as a religious war.
The original blackboard used by Derry Girls no longer exists, but it has been faithfully recreated by the artist who designed the original for the Channel 4 series. The blackboard has been recreated as an exhibition entitled Culture Lab: Don't Believe the Stereotypes at the Ulster Museum in Belfast. It seeks to challenge perceptions that both communities have about each other.
Omg I just commented (and deleted) about fleabag lol. I love Derry Girls and so few reactors watch it. Genuine out-loud belly laughs. Same for Fleabag, which I why I got so excited when you started that one too.

It's been two years and I still wanna know why Deidre didn't want the big bowl back.

Cos her name is Deirdre
Also, the boy, Orla and James were sharing, was in Game of Thrones too!

Another fun fact GOT wise: james and orla's protestant was also in game of thrones. He was the little boy who stabbed jon snow. 😊
What!! That was Ollie?! Wow! I didn’t know that.
His name was Jon in this show 😂😂😂
A nice Easter egg in the show is that after Claire comes out, the girls where rainbow buttons on their school blazers as a sign of solidarity.

New sub, the flea bag and the derry girls
..I'm here for it
Stick around!! I’m planning to post Derry Girls Season 3 very soon.
Wait, I completely forgot the actor playing Erin's grandpa was in Game of Thrones lol
Note to self: stop eating while you're watching Derry Girls (that includes reactions to the show).
Thank god, I have another thing to look forward to :)
Hope you enjoy!
@@YCRhinoReactions inevitable
Orla says she’s 15 in season 1, so yeah I think they’re 16 in season 2
Take this with a grain of salt, but internet augers say the actors playing Claire and her Protestant (the half deaf one) dated.
It is a JOKE
