Derry Girls is a British teen sitcom, created and written by Lisa McGee, that premiered on 4 January 2018 on Channel 4[1] and ran for three series. The channel's most successful comedy since Father Ted, the series was inspired by McGee's own experiences growing up in Derry, Northern Ireland, in the 1990s, during the final years of the Troubles.[2] It stars Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, and Dylan Llewellyn as five teenagers living in mid-1990s Derry while attending Our Lady Immaculate College, a fictional girls' Catholic secondary school based on the real-life Thornhill College, where McGee herself studied.[3][4] Produced by British production company Hat Trick Productions, Derry Girls was filmed in Northern Ireland, with most scenes shot on location in Derry and some in Belfast.

Although the plot lines of Derry Girls are fictional, the series frequently references actual events of the Troubles and the Northern Ireland peace process, including the 1994 IRA ceasefire announcement, the 1995 visit to Northern Ireland of President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton, and the Good Friday referendum of 1998. Archival footage relating to key political figures such as Ian Paisley, Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness, John Hume and Mo Mowlam is shown via TV and radio broadcasts in family homes. The soundtrack features popular music of the era, by acts including Ace of Base, Blur, Cypress Hill, Salt-N-Pepa, Enya, the Corrs, Boyzone, Scarlet, Fatboy Slim, PJ & Duncan, and the Cranberries.Шаблон:Citation needed

The first series, broadcast on Channel 4 in January and February 2018,[5] became the most-watched series in Northern Ireland since modern records began in 2002. The series was renewed shortly after the pilot episode aired, and the second series was broadcast in March and April 2019. A third and final series set in 1996[6] and 1997[7] was commissioned for 2020, although filming was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact on television production,[8][9] and premiered in April 2022.[10][11] A final special extended 45-minute episode titled "The Agreement", set in 1998 during the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, aired on 18 May 2022.[7]

Derry Girls has inspired a mural of its main characters painted on the side of Badgers Bar and Restaurant at 18 Orchard Street, Derry, which has become a popular tourist attraction.[12]

Synopsis

The series follows Erin Quinn (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), their friends Clare (Nicola Coughlan), Michelle (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell), and Michelle's English cousin James (Dylan Llewellyn) as they navigate their teenage years during the end of the Troubles in Derry, where they all attend a Catholic girls' secondary school. The friends frequently find themselves in absurd situations amid the political unrest and cultural divides of the times.

Cast and characters

Main

  • Saoirse-Monica Jackson as Erin Quinn. Aged 16 at the start of the series, she is passionate and ambitious, with literary aspirations, but is at times vain, self-centred, or overly concerned with how she is regarded by others.
  • Louisa Harland as Orla McCool. Aged 15 at the start of the series, she is Erin's detached and eccentric maternal cousin, addicted to sweets. She takes many things literally, misses social cues, and generally is happy to live in her own world.
  • Nicola Coughlan as Clare Devlin. Intelligent and studious, often the Girls' voice of reason, she is more intimidated than her friends by authority figures. At the end of series one, she comes out as a lesbian.
  • Jamie-Lee O'Donnell as Michelle Mallon. The "wild" one of the group, she often gets her friends into trouble through her keen interest in sex, drugs, and alcohol.
  • Dylan Llewellyn as James Maguire. Michelle's maternal cousin, who has grown up in London but his mother brings him to live in Derry just before the start of the series; she moves back to London without telling him at the end of the first episode. Out of concern for his safety at the local Christian Brothers school, James becomes the first male pupil at Our Lady Immaculate College. Although the girls make fun of James, they care about him and eventually accept him as a Derry Girl. Everyone believes he is gay, despite his protestations.
  • Tara Lynne O'Neill as Mary Quinn. Erin and Anna's mother and the matriarch of the Quinn family, she has been married to Gerry for 17 years at the start of the series.
  • Tommy Tiernan as Gerry Quinn. Mary's husband and Erin and Anna's father, he is from Navan and works as a delivery driver. He has a strained relationship with his father-in-law, and patiently tries to be the voice of reason despite almost constant mockery and dismissal from those around him.
  • Kathy Kiera Clarke as Sarah McCool. Orla's mother, Erin and Anna's maternal aunt and Mary's younger sister, she is sweet but dim-witted, heavily focused on her own and other people's appearances. She is an inattentive mother and takes little responsibility for raising Orla, but is still very affectionate towards her.
  • Ian McElhinney as Joe McCool. Mary and Sarah's father, and Erin, Anna and Orla's grandfather, he moved in with the Quinns after his wife died ten years before the start of the series. Joe shows nothing but contempt for Gerry, constantly criticising him and encouraging Mary to leave him, and is fiercely protective of his daughters and granddaughters.
  • Siobhán McSweeney as Sister George Michael, a Catholic nun. The headmistress of Our Lady Immaculate College, she rules the school with an iron fist. Acid-tongued and unflappable, she views being a nun as a job rather than a calling, treating priests with indifference or even contempt.
  • Leah O'Rourke as Jenny Joyce, a prefect and sycophant despised by the Girls. She is from a wealthy family and lives in a large house, in which she often hosts lavish parties. Her mother Janette used to be friends with Mary, Sarah, Geraldine (Clare's mum) and Deirdre (Michelle's mum) when they were teenagers but since distanced herself after marrying a surgeon.

Recurring

  • Ava Grace McAleese and Mya Rose McAleese as Anna Quinn, Erin's toddler sister.
  • Beccy Henderson as Aisling, Jenny's best friend and sidekick.
  • Claire Rafferty as Miss Mooney, Sister Michael's deputy.
  • Amelia Crowley as Deirdre Mallon, Michelle's mother and James' maternal aunt, a nurse.
  • Kevin McAleer as Colm McCool, Joe's brother, Erin, Orla and Anna's great-uncle and Mary and Sarah's uncle, known for telling pointless stories in a slow, ponderous style, with numerous digressions. He is always oblivious to everyone's open boredom during his stories and seems not to notice their attempts to make him stop. His family avoids him whenever possible.
  • Paul Mallon as Dennis, the aggressive proprietor of the corner shop the Girls frequent. His merchandise is often cheap and irregular, such as purple US flags with only 35 stars, for which he overcharges.
  • Philippa Dunne as Geraldine Devlin, Clare's mother.
  • Peter Campion as Father Peter Conway, a young priest on whom most of the Girls initially have a crush. In the first series, he leaves the priesthood to begin a relationship with a hairdresser, before returning as a priest again in later series. Sister Michael openly despises him and dreads his visits.
  • Jamie Beamish as Ciaran, Sarah's eager-to-please love interest, who works at a photography chain store.
  • Robert Calvert as Jim, the Quinns' neighbour across the road. Joe relies on Jim to lend him various things such as a tent and a tranquilliser gun, and the two share occasional schemes together.
  • Maria Laird as Tina O'Connell, a first-year student in the first episode, who is able to intimidate older classmates through her sister, "Big Mandy", who also attends the school.
  • Ardal O'Hanlon as Eamonn, Mary and Sarah's maternal first cousin, who moves in with the Quinns in the final episode of the series after his roof collapses.
  • David Ireland as Sean Devlin, Clare's father. In the penultimate episode of the series, he suffers an aneurysm and dies, leading Clare and her mother to move away from Derry.
  • Julia Dearden as Maureen Malarkey, an elderly neighbour of the Quinns. She and Joe share a bitter bingo rivalry.
  • Anthony Boyle as David Donnelly, a boy on whom Erin has a crush in the first series.

Production

Filming took place in Northern Ireland, with most scenes shot in Derry and Belfast.[13][14] The scenes onboard the train in S3 E3 took place at the Downpatrick and County Down Railway in Downpatrick,[15] with the end of the episode shot at the then-recently-closed Barry's Amusements in Portrush.[16]

The show was renewed for a second series shortly after the airing of the pilot episode of the first series. Production of the second series began on 8 October 2018.[17][18] The second series began airing on 5 March 2019.[19] On 9 April 2019, immediately after the second series finale, it was confirmed by Channel 4 that Derry Girls would return for a third series.[20][21] Production of the third series was due to commence in the spring of 2020, but was suspended following the announcement of the COVID-19 lockdown.[22] On 21 July 2021, Nicola Coughlan confirmed that filming for the third series was set to commence in late 2021, with a premiere in early 2022.[23] On 23 September 2021, series creator and writer Lisa McGee confirmed Derry Girls would end with its third series, stating "it was always the plan to say goodbye after three series."[24] On 21 December 2021, McGee and Coughlan announced on social media that filming of the final series had completed.[25]

Reception

Derry Girls became Channel 4's most successful comedy since Father Ted.[30][31] On Rotten Tomatoes, the first series holds an approval rating of 100% based on reviews from 24 critics with an average rating of 7.9/10. The website's critics consensus states: "A perfectly curated cast and raw writing drive Derry GirlsШаблон:'s dark humor as creator Lisa McGee makes frenetic light of teen life in 1990s Northern Ireland".[32]

The second series has an approval rating of 97%, based on reviews from 33 critics with an average rating of 8.3/10. The website's critics consensus states: "The sophomore season of Derry Girls doesn't lose any of its irreverent charms thanks to its predictably unpredictable romps and canny characterizations".[33]

The third series holds an approval rating of 100%, based on reviews from 21 critics with an average rating of 8.9/10. The website's critics consensus states: "Parting is such sweet sorrow, but Derry Girls' final season promises to milk as many laughs as it can before viewers say a fond farewell to this lovable band of miscreants."[34] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, it received a score of 86 out of 100 based on five critic reviews.[35]

Derry Girls was the most watched series in Northern Ireland since modern records began in 2002, with an average audience of 519,000 viewers and a 64.2 per cent share of the audience.[36] Una Mullally of The Irish Times praised the series: "The writing in Derry Girls is sublime, the performances perfect, the casting is brilliant."[37] On 11 January 2018, after the first episode had aired, the programme was renewed for a second series.[38] Each episode was watched by over two million people.[1] At the conclusion of the first series, Barbara Ellen of The Guardian wrote that Derry Girls evoked such programmes as The Inbetweeners, Father Ted and Bad Education.[39]

Public reception

As there are slight political undertones to the show, responses have highlighted the comedic nature as keeping the material lighthearted enough to enjoy. Certain writers from various online articles have noted that their own Northern Irish family appreciated the way the show gave an honest portrayal of how life was for teens in the Troubles, and how much was endured by families during that time.[40] The way it portrayed the events and circumstances with a sense of normality echoed the real lives of both Protestants and Catholics in that area.[40]

Lisa McGee based events in the programme on her own life, such as writing a letter to the Clintons' daughter, Chelsea.[41] Adding real stories such as this to the episodes grounded the show in a way that allowed viewers to connect with the teenage attitudes of the characters, and served as a stark contrast to the events around them. The juxtaposition of the Troubles violence and teenage life resonated with many viewers.[42] At 18 Orchard Street in Derry,[43] a mural of the main cast of characters can be seen on the side of Badger's Bar.[31]

Popular culture

The Simpsons episode "You Won't Believe What This Episode Is About – Act Three Will Shock You!", which aired on 13 March 2022, features an ice cream parlour called Dairy Girls Ice Cream. Simpsons writer Matt Selman confirmed in a Tweet that it was a reference to Derry Girls, adding it was "the least we could do".[44]
