Jenny is so like some of the girls I went to school with! I found out yesterday that the actress portraying her is 30! Doesn't surprise me, all the main actors are a lot older than their characters: Erin: 25 Clare: 32 (!!!) Orla: 25 Michelle: 27 James: 26

The Lost One Hey! It's nice to see you on the sports board, Kiera! Well to be fair, I have no idea why this topic is on the sports board! Sports-wise I do like football and tennis, but that's about it.

Sports-wise I do like football and tennis, but that's about it. Well, it's a long tradition of sports board to have OT topics. It's like a community of its own and many sports boarder do not even post on other boards or very seldom post on other boards. We also have a GOT thread here which you can check especially when the show starts in April.

I hope I didn't interrupt you guys. Please carry on conversing on Derry girls and I will take my leave now (I have been to LondonDerry BTW).

(I have been to Londonderry BTW). You've been where 🤔 Had a flight from Edinburgh (EDI) to Londonderry (LDY) in April 2013. I think it cost us somewhere around €7. But after traveling with Ryanair I decided that that was the last time I will travel with that thing. Didn't spend a lot of time in LondonDerry. Moved to Belfast and visited a place where they have Titanic museum. Excellent place for knowing about Titanic. Loved it. Also visited some pagan mountain who name I can't recall and also a cave.

I guess whoever chooses the letter codes for airports is a Protestant! I must admit I've lived in NI all my life - been to Derry once and that was just driving through it en-route to Donegal. Never been to the Titanic museum either even though it's 20 minutes walk from my work.

Another disappointing episode last night. Unlike episode 2 which I thought was just plain bad, this one had a lot of potential, but it was let down by uneven tone (this show can't decide whether it wants to be surreal or realistic - the polar bear thing would be fine in something like Black Books but it doesn't work here), over-egged jokes (eg Gary Barlow, the suitcase - and vodka doesn't smell!) and leaden direction. The bit with the woman singing opera while driving should have been hilarious but for whatever reason it just... wasn't.
This show seems to be coasting on people's good will a bit. Series 1 was hit and miss and so far Series 2 has been more miss than hit. Unless it drastically improves soon, that good will is going to disappear.

Yeah, wasn't impressed with last night's episode either, very uneven... Seems to be going off the boil a bit now. I get what The Lost One says about surreal/real above. That polar bear thing just didn't work for me... The travellers/gypsies bits were the highlight.
Hopefully pick up again next week.

Just watched last night's episode (4)...
Big improvement on last week I thought. Ardal O'Hanlon was good.
Sister Michael listening to Uncle Colm and wondering if she has died 😁

Sister Michael was well oiled the other morning on Sunday Brunch, looks like she's an early starter when it comes to the old liqour

Agreed, Episode 4 was a bit more like it. True, there was more comic potential in the hex and the "space scones" than was squeezed out of them and I thought it was a bit unbelievable that none of the five would have thought of flushing the scones one at a time, but I thought it was genuinely amusing from start to finish. My favourite part was when they all went mad for Rock the Boat - so true to life!

A bit hit and miss again last night... Overall ok, but I think it has mostly run its course now. Not sure a third series can really be wrung out of it? The whole Irish Chinese thing felt like they were copying Father Ted. The bit where James came to Erin's rescue was really sweet. |

I thought Ep 5 was ok, better than 2 and 3 but weaker than 1 and 4. Most of the good laughs were at the start (the Monday Morning song, handing James his notice). The Carrie moment was way too obvious though and not sure the whole ceasefire thing worked in the way the writers hoped.
I thought Orla dancing with her granddad was sweet.

I got the impression that the ceasefire was being used as a metaphor for this stage of the girls, and James, adolescence coming to an end. It would have worked better as the final episode, to bring Derry Girls to a conclusion. |
