Moonglum25 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Just got into it after reading about on here. Absolutely briliant. Spotted Gerry as Father Kevin in Father Ted but did not know that Colm had also been Father Damo. Some brilliant one liners especially " Who put 50p in the idiot" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies you're right, my mistake - he was the original casting choice as Father Dougal.

Billy Rubin Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Watched this for the first time the other night ( the wedding episode ) and thought it wasn't very good. Could tell it was written by a female. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could tell it was written by a female. I watched the first 3 of season 1 and it kind of reminded me of the Inbetweeners [but less amusing] in the sense that you the stereotypical characters i.e. she's the daft one who will constantly say bizarre things causing the others to roll their eyes, she's the gobby one who'll keep getting them into trouble, etc, etc. It was alright but with so many things available to watch I can't see me going back to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Ian McElhinney (Granda Joe) is appearing at the Edinburgh Comic Con tomorrow on the strength of his roles in Game of Thrones, Rogue One and Krypton. £20 for an autograph or £10 if you want a selfie with him... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could tell it was written by a female. Christ. You’re allowed to not think something is good.

It's a female inbetweeners, in a basic form. I dont enjoy it as much as the inbetweeners, but that's probably because it's easier for me to relate to that. I still enjoy it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) They need to focus a bit more on the adults, i know the show is about the group of friends but incorporating the adults has been some of the best episodes, like the wedding one, and the orange march one last series Whenever ita a full espisode of the youngsters it isnt as good imo Edited April 6, 2019 by 54_and_counting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like you can tell Inbetweeners was written by two guys who had similar experiences, you can tell Derry Girls was written by a woman who lived through those times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like you can tell Inbetweeners was written by two guys who had similar experiences, you can tell Derry Girls was written by a woman who lived through those times.Well maybe it was my reading of it, but the comment reeked to me of “it isn’t funny because it was written by a woman”. Seemed to be insinuating that women writers aren’t as good. Maybe I’m wrong, and apologies if that’s the case although I don’t think I am. But I enjoy the show and there’s no point de-railing a thread about the show based on one comment, just thought it deserved to be pulled up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 On 3/25/2019 at 23:32, The OP said: Why not? All about the location of the toaster when not in use and distance between the eyes as explained in one of the episodes, but my first impression on that was probably off-base because having heard her natural accent in a youtube interview clip she's probably from the RoI. I thought she was probably English and doing a reasonable but far from perfect job when putting on a strong Ulster accent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Saw the last episode of the series last night? Perhaps not as funny as previous episodes such as the wedding / funeral one, but enjoyable and quite moving all the same. Any episode with Uncle Colm always gets a thumbs up, and who could disagree with Sister Michael's assessment of Mistletoe and Wine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met several people like him in the time. He even made the story about being held hostage by the provos dull. My next door neighbours could stand in for him if he's ever unavailable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dear departed father likewise. He would just read out road-signs in lieu of something else to say on a road-trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
