Derry Girls

The hit TV show Derry Girls came to end last night after three hugely successful seasons, but fans of the show will take one last trip with the cast in a ...

I’m so grateful Channel 4 gave me the space to end the stories of these characters that mean so much to me with this special. I really hope the fans love it as much as I do. The episode will be set in the week of the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement, threatening to overshadow Erin and Orla’s joint 18th birthday party.

In the series finale, Erin, Clare, Michelle, Orla and James had their hearts set on seeing Fatboy Slim play a Halloween gig in Derry, but after an encounter ...

The final episode of Derry Girls season three was full of surprises – especially for Nicola Coughlan's Clare.

It’s at this point when Clare receives some awful news about her dad, but we don’t want to focus on that for the time being. However, while they’re being bundled out by the venue’s security guards, Clare ends up face-to-face with Laurie, who tells her she was planning on making a move that night. Some (read: a lot) of chaos later, the group find themselves being kicked out.

I tried to explain what it was like for me growing up in Northern Ireland. Then I found that this great sitcom did it better, says Caroline Magennis, ...

My students are unfailingly curious and respectful of the conflict and my own background, and Derry Girls allows us to combine all that with a bloody good laugh. It is only one of many texts that tells the story of the conflict – and there is so much good writing coming out right now from, among others, Jan Carson, Olivia Fitzsimons, Louise Kennedy, Bernie McGill, Mícheál McCann, Gail McConnell, Michael Nolan and Stephen Sexton, not to mention the Booker prize-winning Milkman by Anna Burns. Last week, I showed my students the scene in which McGee intersperses the news of a deadly bomb blast with Orla’s dance routine to Like a Prayer. Like me, they were undone by Grandpa Joe’s hand on Gerry’s shoulder as they silently watch the TV. It’s those little moments that they can relate to – seeing a taciturn older relative show emotion or being devastated at a school dance. One week, we cover punk and the Stiff Little Fingers song Suspect Device, the next we have Michelle saying of a soldier, “But do you think if I told him I had an incendiary device down my knickers, he’d have a look?” In the best examples, it feels organic – they aren’t just about the Troubles. Rather, they are about the fullness of lives lived, the songs sung, the sambucas set on fire. Literature and art set in Northern Ireland doesn’t have a duty to provide an education about the history of the Troubles – this is an unfair expectation placed on writers and artists, many of whom want to write what they know, but don’t necessarily want to be didactic with their creativity.

It was the second last episode of the series that said the famous Oscar Wilde quote: "The problem is the English can't remember history, while the Irish can't ...

It's something so unique and one of a kind, something us fans will certainly keep in our hearts for a long time to come. It was the normal way of Irish living that made it stand out to us. I went to an all-girls Catholic school, and while there was only one nun still teaching, the place was eerily similar. While each was hysterical, they went through all of the normal things we all face, and that's what we all clung to with this series. When Ma Mary is sick of the girls' constant nagging, my mam reacts the same way. Saying goodbye to the gang last night was a tough one.

While fans prepare to say goodbye to the beloved characters, the cast must also bid farewell to the host of offbeat, completely original personalities they have ...

Ever since she has been a lovable rogue who always gets the Derry Girls into trouble. She shared a picture of her iconic 90s hairstyle in the show. Siobhán posted a picture of the habit she has worn over the course of the show, a poignant tribute to a great character.

Derry Girls viewers were left in floods of tears after the season three finale featured an unexpected, heartbreaking twist.

That’s what makes Derry Girls so special 💚— JD (@Jonny_Dodds) #DerryGirls May 17, 2022 — craig cathie (@that_craig_kid)— craig cathie (@that_craig_kid) #DerryGirlsbooted me square in the feels tonight. Lisa McGee can pull the rug out from under us out of nowhere, just as life can. That ending 😪 one of the best written shows ever imo. The show is so superbly written. The delivery, beautiful, sad, poignant.

"Who knows if Erin, Clare, Orla, Michelle and James will return in some other guise someday."

Could there be a series 4 or a potential film on the big screen in the future? But are Channel 4 and Lisa McGee serious when they talk about calling time on Derry Girls for good? You can watch the 'final, final episode' of Derry Girls tonight on Channel 4 at 9pm and catch up on all of this series on Channel 4 on demand.

Lisa McGee confirms the stage directions for the funeral scene contained a hidden message, following a shock death in the Derry Girls season 3 finale.

"I felt like... "It would be a real shock anyway, but I think the thing that really struck me was that we did grow up in this place where a lot of unpredictable stuff happened, and you worried about a lot of the violence and stuff like that, and this was a thing that could happen to anybody, and was a natural causes thing. "And I was just like, 'Oh God, nobody's life is predictable, like this could happen to anyone', and it really came out - it says in the stage directions [of the episode], when they're walking behind the coffin, 'And just like that, they grew up'.

The Troubles was a conflict between unionists/loyalists (those who wanted Northern Ireland to remain part of the UK), and nationalists/republicans (who wanted ...

The vote took place across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland on May 22nd that year. There continues to be political unrest regarding the status of Northern Ireland, with accusations of spying and ongoing friction between Northern Ireland’s political parties. In 1998, after two years of peace talks, British and Irish governments reached an accord regarding the control, sovereignty and government of Northern Ireland, with most major political parties within the country becoming involved in its creation. The ultimate intention was to create a new, devolved government for Northern Ireland which would ensure unionists and nationalists would collaborate on the running of the country. But the final episode marks the start of a brand-new chapter. The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association (NICRA) were protesting against the internment of suspected IRA members without trial.

The sitcom, set in Northern Ireland in the 1990s, captures the way in which normal life persisted amid violence | Culture.

Northern Ireland once exported huge ships (including the Titanic). It then exported death as the Troubles spread with terrorist attacks in Britain, the Republic of Ireland and continental Europe. Now it is exporting something which is a product of that history, but not a prisoner of it. Referring to a famous Derry rock band which emerged in the 1970s, he argues that the sitcom is “doing for a modern audience what The Undertones did back in the day—these teenage guys set against the backdrop of war, just singing about teenage stuff. By the end of the exercise the blackboard for similarities is empty; the board for differences is full. The blackboard demonstrates the depth of the writing by Lisa McGee, herself a Derry girl. For those who came of age in Northern Ireland in the 1990s, the series offers nostalgia—in terms of both the music, outfits and sense of danger and the well-intentioned attempts to convince Catholics and Protestants to get along. The new exhibit is a recreation of the most famous prop in “Derry Girls”, a masterful comedy which broadcasts its final episode on May 18th.

With the series three finale of Derry Girls ending with a sudden and heartbreaking loss for one of the gang, writer Lisa McGee has once again shown her ...

It had to be at the end.” Breaking the rules and trying to make it to Belfast with a suitcase of vodka, the girls eventually make it to the front row of the concert. When confronted in front of the family, she reveals the truth that she is actually trying to fulfil her dream of going to university. When Clare confides that she is in fact “the wee lesbian”, Erin’s first reaction is one of disgust and even tells her to take it back. In series one, Erin finds herself in desperate need of a story for the school magazine when she publishes an anonymous letter from a student under the headline, “The secret life of a lesbian” While the sitcom is set during the end of the Troubles in the 1990s, a key theme of Derry Girls has been that normal life for teenagers continued even during the worst days of the conflict.

The DJ, known on the music scene as Denis Sulta, said he was 'buzzing' about the role in the hit show.

The night started with everyone in flying form, but a shock death at the end of the episode had the characters and viewers in floods of tears. Sulta, real name Hector Barbour, made a brief appearance in the final minutes of the show, playing a bouncer kicking the girls out of a Halloween party. And viewers were left even more shocked on Tuesday night as the Glaswegian DJ was among a list of high profile stars to make a guest appearance in the jam packed season finale.
