    the film was good enough in its own right, but the TV series is just brilliant. A perfect balance of slapstick and pathos. It’s just ace. It’s had me laughing out loud and in the next moment holding back tears. The chemistry between the two leads is ace and the supporting cast is fantastic.

    Bloody brilliant.

    It’s on iplayer

    Just watched the film last night, nearly soiled myself. V funny indeed.

    And starring role for an On-One Inbred and a Sultans of Ping sound track! What’s not to like?!

    I shall watch the series now.

    Series an improvement on the film IMO, which is understandable given the two lads’ relative inexperience as actors.

    There are so many things it gets right on the money, there are just too many to list. Hands up those of you who’d never heard “shift” used in that context before. 🙂

    There’s a film too?!?!?! Oh the joy!

    Watched the series on iplayer……..funniest tv I’ve seen in a few years.

    I realise that girls are in the series (and film) but IMO males can relate more to it?

    Also a fan of This Country on the iplayer, very funny

    Comedy genius right enough, I nearly missed out cos when I first watched it I could hardly understand a word. Don’t let the accent put you off, it gets easier when you get your ear in.

    As a Scot living in Cork I love it. Knowing all the landmarks, slang etc adds to the joy. I was unsure how well it would go down in the UK, glad it seems to be a hit. My eldest is at school with one of the headmaster daughters too. I think they are due to film the next series soon so it will be back.

    Yep – it was brilliant!

    Check out Derry Girls on the 4OD player – it was also very funny with some cracking tunes.
