After multiple delays due to COVID-19, Channel 4 comedy Derry Girls is finally back for a third and final season, and it remains just as good as ever (you can read our five-star Derry Girls season 3 review here).

The comedy is set against the backdrop of The Troubles in the 1990s, and follows a group of school girls (and one “wee English fella”) as they come up against teenage trials and tribulations – and often with a rousing Nineties soundtrack charting their journey, from Björk to the Spice Girls.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com about what she hoped the show will be remembered for, Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Erin in the Derry Girls cast) said: “I think it leaves a legacy of hope and it leaves a legacy that childhood and adolescence should be protected.

“But I also hope that it leaves a legacy for the television industry; that it puts the faith within commissioners to allow people from regional, working-class backgrounds to have their own TV shows.”
