Derry Girls

The first day of a new term and Erin wakes up to find her cousin Orla reading her diary. Not so great for everyone else either as Granda Joe announces there’s a bomb on the bridge.

The girls have been up all night cramming for a big exam. Some haven't studied for it enough, whilst Clare’s over-studied, leaving herself completely sleep deprived and slightly manic.

Everyone’s really excited when Sister Michael announces the school trip this year is to Paris. But they don’t bank on the fact that the trip costs £375. Each!

Derry is welcoming the ‘Children of Chernobyl’ – teenagers, affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, who have been sent from their contaminated homeland for a few weeks of fresh air.

It’s the 12th of July, and the Quinn family are rushing to get out of Derry before the Orange Parades start. They’re packed and nearly ready to go when James, Michelle and Clare arrive.
