I’ll check out the YT vids 👍🏻 I googled them to see what else they’d done and some of the ‘kids’ are in their 30s! 😳😂
Just googled and the short blonde girl is 33!. The others are late 20's. I'm back to season two now, going to rewatch that. Caught season two on TV before season one :LOL:. The bake off was funny. The YouTube videos I saw where them in Edinburgh (y)

Another late to the party. I'd heard a lot about it but hadn't got round to watching it. Finally watched it properly last month (and already want to watch it again haha!)

Looking forward to the new series!

I love it. I am from a town not far from Derry and was a teen around the time this is set, so absolutely everything about it brings back memories. The Troubles, the music, the style. Its brilliant.

Love it! Some of the cast were on the Christmas Bake Off and it was just as funny as the series, definitely worth a watch
The bake off one was superb. They were all bloody hilarious and not even in a try-hard way , like many of the celebs. I honestly think Paul, and Pru etc had the best time ever on that one, they were cracking up.

They're mural in Derry has had a makeover, lol.

Anyone else watching this? I watched s1 last year and am now watching s2. The episodes are short and sweet (20 mins) which I really like. It is quite funny and love the nostalgic music.

Love Derry Girls but I think a lot of the humour is very Northern Irish and takes being from Northern Ireland to appreciate/understand so I always wondered how it was so successful on a national level? Genuine question - just interested to hear from others.

It's probably down to the nostalgia of the time more than the humour /accent .Derry people have a language of their own even the rest of NI find it hard to understand..I always wondered how it grew so big ..
