Proof that all good things must come to an end, for a little while anyway…
It’s fair to say that the first season of Derry Girls has been a huge success, and the fact that it’s already been commissioned for a second season shows just how popular the show is.
The final episode of the first season of Derry Girls aired at 10pm on Channel 4 on Thursday night, and it’s safe to say that a lot of people were not OK with it ending.

That closing scene of the series will live on long in the memory with The Cranberries playing in the background.
Oh wow. That last scene in #DerryGirls was a right kick in the feels. The next series needs to be at least 12 episodes long! Best show of the year.

If anyone needs me tomorrow I'll be at home mourning for this series of Derry Girls. The next season better be like ten hours long. Let's put Netflix money into that instead of another season of House of Cards.

takes a good programme to make you laugh out loud and then cry within 20 seconds of eachother. Can't wait for season 2 #DerryGirls

Elsewhere, two of the Derry Girls, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Nicola Coughlan have elaborated on one of best gags from the most recent episode, the punt purse. After watching this, we’re very tempted to go and get a cream horn.
