I love this series - probably because it's really about the triumph of friendship over adversity. It takes a while to tune into the Derry accent, but the programme captures the spirit of those troubled times while managing to be funny, hopeful, dark, satirical and witty, all the same time. I think the characters will live on in our minds for many years to come.

James is at the girls school becase he is English (or at least is percived to be English) and they feared for his safety if he went to the boys school.

Girl with the black hair is from Ukraine. She came for a visit to get away from the ‘bad air’ of Chernobyl!

Derry, (Catholic), Londonderry, (protestant), is the same town but divided by religion. Catholics want for a united Ireland, while the protestants want to remain British. Tensions still exist, but not to the extent of the fighting, (the 'troubles'), that took place leading to the Good Friday Agreement, signed in 1998. Derry Girls is set during the 90's leading up to that GFA. It's 3 seasons, plus a one hour special to finalise it. The special features a cameo appearance by a very well known American. It's a superbly written show, extremely funny, and touching at times. About 4 girls and a boy going through teenage hood, their growing pains, and leading them to adulthood. It gives a real insight into the mindset and particular humour of the good people of Northern Ireland. The soundtrack is brilliant, and anyone watching who was of a similar age during that time will immediately relate. If you can get to watch it Tysheen, I highly recommend it.

My first British or Irish comedy was 1961 so over 60 years ago and this was one of the best I have seen but,surely, impossible,for you to see these clips because nearly every one of them is in context and you would have to know a little of the kid's backstory and that era in Northern Ireland's story, as well to fully appreciate the endless jokes:)

James was going to start at Christian Brother Boys but there were serious concerns for his safety because unfortunately James happens to be English lol

I'm in the East of England - it was 99° today - might hit 104° tomorrow... Too much!! 😳

Hello Tysheen, I am coming to you from Australia and Derry Girls is very popular here! BTW it is one of our worst winters here we having at this time! In Carwell NSW (Central Tablelands) we are experiencing min temps of - 1 degrees up to max of 14 degrees. We are also getting fog and frosts in the morning. So don’t believe all you hear about “sunny Australia” 🙂🤣🙂 love your vids keep them coming and take care😀❤️🙂

You definetly need a whole episode to get the jokes.

You need to watch the episodes.... Its set in Derry, Ireland in the 90's... Its fantastic! 🇮🇪

The boy is English and in certain parts of Ireland at this time, that wasn't good ! So he was Safe in the girls school. The boys would have kicked the Shxt out of him. Cheer's 🇬🇧 edit: and yes they keep saying he's gay..which doesn't help.

It's nowhere near as hot as here. It reached 33°C (91.4°F) in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and was that hot for most of the day, yet we're nearly always cooler in the North compared to Southern England. However at least it's not that humid like it was around 10-12 days ago.

Yes please do more of Derry girls

Claire is also my favourite, she is so funny😂

Did you watch any of the episodes fully ? These shorts are not showing everything.

Derry {Londonderry/Stroke City} is in Northern Ireland UK. Show is loved by both parts of community.

Not afraid of dead people but I regret going to the hospital to see dad after he past away. Now my last memory of him is a very skinny pale body. When mum past away I refused to see her. My last memory of her is 2 weeks before when we was celebrating her 90th birthday and that's a much better memory.

You need to watch the whole entire show.

Derry Girls is really funny. Pity there are only 3 series.

Absolutely love Derry girls. It is so hot here in England too!

omg yess ,i asked for u to watch derry girls

Can’t speak for other English people, but I AM interested in air conditioning at the moment! Can’t sleep because of the heat 😔

How hot was it to say you need air conditioning, I couldn't live like that, the hotter the better for me,

Well it's going to be 41c here in England, now that's what you call hot 😀

Hi Tysheen, Hot in London as well. Infact it might be the hottest day on record with temperatures of 104-106f forecast and no AC!! 🥵

It's a *British show,* commissioned by a *British TV network,* produced by a *British production company,* broadcast by a *British TV channel,* and set in the *British country of Northern Ireland.* It's also set in the 1990s during the later stages of *The Troubles,* which was started because a minority of *Northern Irish* and *Irish* people refused and still refuse to accept the fact that *most of Northern Ireland want to remain part of the UK, and therefore remain British!*

She’s from Ukraine not russia .

Great show but this combination is just ridiculous.

That was terrible. Not you, those clips. Never seen as much Derry Girls with as few funny moments.

opne of them was in father ted, briefly...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Tiernan
