Episode 1: Dear Diary...

Pauline, Jeanie and Marie-Louise go back to where it all began in Episode 1: Erin wakes to find her cousin Orla reading her diary. Clare wants to be an individual. Michelle has made the connection between Derry and Pulp Fiction, Slainte Mofos. The wee English Fella is learning some harsh realities. We meet the the players from our ensemble cast and learn that picking a favourite isn’t going to be easy.  Our girls talk teenage diaries, how bombs play havoc with your suntan and the quickest route from Dennis’ wee shop to the school bus.  Discover how John Travolta could have married a Derry Girl, why matchboxes are to be feared and how one Londonderry girl nearly donned a sash at a very early age. This was most definitely not a sash her father would have worn.  Episode 1 of Lisa McGee’s Derry Girls: where it all began and new comedy gold was born.  For more information about the podcast, visit: www.thebiglight.com/talkingderrygirls Keep up to date with us on Twitter: @TBLderrygirls  Check out our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/talkingderrygirls WATCH Derry Girls on Channel 4: https://www.channel4.com  On RTE (in Ireland): https://www.rte.ie/ Series 1 & 2 available on Netflix outside UK: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/derry-girls-season-2-coming-to-netflix-in-august-2019/ Bronagh Gallagher: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0302345/ That disco dancing fella that was in Look who’s Talking: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000237/ BBC Radio Foyle Breakfast Show: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wdb5r   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
