    For any fans of Uncle Colm living near Belfast Kevin McAleer has been announced as one of the first acts to play the newly re-opened Mandela Hall on October 15th.

    This season definitely isn't as good, the stories just seem a lot more contrived but I think that always happens with sitcoms but usually it happens a lot later in sitcoms.

    Did anyone else have a audio description narrator on tonight's episode?

    Episode was fairly shite so didn't really make any difference

    That was an absolutely outstanding episode.

    We have been saying for few weeks that adults were making it so to have the whole episode about them was brilliant.

    Tonight's episode was much better. I thought the kids playing the mammy's as teens were much better than the actual Derry Girls. The casting was spot on.

    Also I think Joe is a great character.

    The best episode of a very mediocre season, and shock horror it was the one without the Derry girls, make the adults the focus of the GFA episode and end it with a modicum of dignity.

    I loved the generational clones of the young characters.

    Not sure how I feel about the budding James/Erin romance though.

    I saw him live once he was brilliant.

    I enjoyed tonight! Mothers popcorn favorites episode. She finds the young ones tough going.

    It took me ages to figure out I knew Janette from Smother!

    When the husband said 'that's why I don't speak' and all the lads thought it was genius 🤣

    I didn’t particularly enjoy the episode, probably best of the season and the younger parents were very good but it still just didn’t give enough laughs.

    the whole thing just went a season to far, they should have left it at two with maybe a Christmas special to wrap it up.

    I enjoyed that one. Excellent casting of the young mammies - on a side note, love that Aslan got played in the titles. They have some criminally under-rated songs. The more international exposure the better.

    Episode was OK and probably the best of the season so far

    Could we get a twist at the end and there will be a big death maybe highlighting the pressures of teen life ?

    Did they have a Christmas special?

    Comedy shows seldom have a teen suicide!

    When it was mentioned about a flashback episode coming up I was wondering was there going to be a fella that Sarah might have had her eye on - possibly Orla’s father. In the three seasons, I don’t remember any mention of his whereabouts, whether he’s alive or dead.

    Think there's enough 'dark moments' with the actual news stories from the time the show is set...

    I think it will end with The Good Friday Agreement and them all being happy and Erin going off with James.

    Grandpa joe passing away just before the GFA and never seeing the peace he wished for would actually be a beautiful bittersweet moment, akin to nana passing away in the royle family.


    Claire not getting the course she wants and taking a header into the foyle would be the worst ending in the history of TV and frankly anyone who thinks otherwise should be banned from owning a TV.

    Well, a terrible end to a disappointing season, literally a pointless storyline plot. Can we stop pretending it's good because of the accents now?

    I hate the way Channel 4 cut across the credits with promo's for other shows, takes away from it. Much better to watch on All4 with no interuption.

    Good episode tonight, interesting now where the finale will go

    A fellow Waterfordman Ciaran, really underrated character

    Was expecting a death but not that kind of death. Nicola Coughlan ie Claire is definitely the best actress in the whole series. It was a bit sad tbh and it was a really a bit of a heart in your throat moment because you didn't know who it was that died
