Derry Girls writer and creator Lisa McGee joins the Girls and tells them why she is "obsessed" with the podcast. She describes it as "hilarious", "THE best thing" and explains why she "was annoyed that she (sic) hadn't heard it before writing Series 3". Lisa also has some suggestions about what Pauline, Jeanie and Marie Louise can cover in the podcast while we wait impatiently for Series 3. 2020 ZeBBie Awards - ‘Our Lisa’s been nominated’ (I feel we can say that now! )  http://www.iftn.ie/news/?act1=record&only=1&aid=73&rid=4293665&tpl=archnews&force=1 Caroline Leddy - Producer Derry Girls https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0496418/ Caroline Leddy’s husband’s uncle - Brian Friel http://www.irishplayography.com/person.aspx?personid=31919 Liz Lewin - Exec Producer Derry Girls https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1157598/ Freaks and Geeks - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freaks_and_Geeks Queer as Folk - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0262985/ Russell T Davies - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0203961/ Larry David - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0202970/ OK, this Derry Girl was actually in the audience at the Stephen Colbert show on 9th January 2020 when Larry David was the guest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cIzyYGnmSY The Undertones - http://theundertones.com/_/Home.html Erin’s Diary - https://www.independent.ie/videos/derry-girls-star-saoirse-monica-jackson-reads-extract-from-new-spin-off-book-erins-diary-written-by-lisa-mcgee-39407478.html 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/

We're discussing: Derry Girls / Series 2 / Ep6 / 'The President' We are at the end of the beginning and President Bill Clinton is on his way to Derry. One of our three Derry Girls had an invitation to meet the man himself. One had passed the security checks to get close to him and the other was in a car park at the back of Derry's Guildhall. It's history in the making and stirs up some emotional memories and asks some probing questions. Which one of the Talking Derry Girls was in Riverdance? Which one has CIA clearance? and which one is related to Bill Clinton? (Maybe) Oh and why go to Burt when you could have gone to Muff?  Great read about the USA involvement in the peace process by Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies - https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/jcs/article/view/11750/12521 Derry Journal article on President Clinton’s visit at the end of Derry Girls - https://www.derryjournal.com/news/will-never-be-ordinary-city-clinton-derry-1995-985673 Derry Journal article on President Clinton’s visit at the end of Derry Girls - https://www.derryjournal.com/news/will-never-be-ordinary-city-clinton-derry-1995-985673 Clinton’s visit to the Beech hill hotel - https://www.visitderry.com/Blog/ArtMID/677/ArticleID/29/Derry-Girls-Clinton-finale-leaves-us-wanting-more Secret naval base in Derry - https://www.ireland.com/en-gb/articles/derry-ebrington-barracks/ Bill Clinton in Belfast, including the handshake with Gerry Adams - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-21029865 Niall O’Dowd’s article on the Clinton visit - https://www.irishcentral.com/opinion/niallodowd/the-peacemaker-bill-clintons-historic-visit-ireland Tip O’Neill - http://www.donegaldiaspora.ie/people/tip-oneill Oliver Cromwell in Ireland - it’s in there somewhere - great podcast (it’s episode 49) - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a-short-history-of-ireland/id1514770437 Cliff Richard - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Richard Actors:  Paul Mallon (Dennis) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2546951/ Bronagh Waugh (Cathy Maguire) - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2391026/ JFK’s visit to Ireland in 1963 (lots of youtube videos as well, far too many to list here) - https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/jfk-in-ireland Bill Clinton and Van Morrison - https://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/exhibits/show/rock/morrison Burt; Co Donegal - https://www.ancient-origins.net/ancient-places-europe/grianan-aileach-hillfort-legendary-kingdom-which-lies-5000-year-old-sacred-021295 Bloody Sunday - https://cain.ulster.ac.uk/events/bsunday/bs.htm President Clinton’s speech at the Guildhall on 30th November 1995 - https://cain.ulster.ac.uk/events/peace/docs/pres2.htm 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/

Derry's Doctor Who connections are explored - could the Doctor be a Derry Girl? Pauline, Jeanie and Marie Louise reminisce about their own Prom dates and how nuns armed with rulers measured out a decent distance during the slow dances. As ever - many questions are asked.

Pauline has a recipe and you may need a big bowl. Has anyone ever actually done Rock the Boat at an Irish wedding? (Before the Derry Girls made it a thing?) Would you know a hallion from a scallion?  Are the English really weird and how many red suits does Donna Traynor have?

We're discussing: Derry Girls / Series 2 / Ep3 / 'The Concert' Whatever we said whatever we did we probably meant it. Pauline, Jeanie and Marie-Louise come clean about their own teenage misdemeanours - some of which happened when they were old enough to know better. How far did they go to meet their heroes and would they have booed Led Zeppelin off the stage for playing their new song? The facts about the escaped polar bear are unearthed with the truth proving even more farcical than the fiction. Marie-Louise refuses to believe that BBC news presenter Donna Traynor could spread Fake News and is a line of white tape adequate protection from a potential explosion? Is it possible to get paid extra for turning up late for work and is it ever wise to ask a virtual stranger on a date? Take That.

We're discussing: Derry Girls / Series 2 / Episode 1 / 'Across the Barricade' The gang are off on a cross community peace trip...but when it comes down to it are we really all that different? Maybe not. Pauline, Jeanie and Marie-Louise discuss the art of borrowing and how Derry band, The Undertones, owe a big debt to the late Nobel Prize Winner John Hume. They reminisce about the books by Joan Lingard whose Protestant girl/Catholic boy love stories gripped a generation of teens, 'Across the Barricades' being perhaps the best known. Is it ever OK to keep your toaster in a cupboard? Could ABBA have helped the peace process and do arms dealers have a patron Saint?

It's the 12th of July and the Derry Girls are leaving town. Pauline Jeanie and Marie Louise talk about the history of the 12th, being waved at by the big man off the telly and why a fortune teller had all the answers - maybe. They advise on taking the right purse and why packing a fruit cake in your hand luggage isn't recommended. They're having a whale of a time on the River Foyle, hitchhiking across the border and discussing the correct etiquette when invited to tea with paramilitaries.  The Sash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sash Battle of the Boyne 1690: https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-the-Boyne The Orange Order: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-18769781 The Apprentice Boys of Derry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apprentice_Boys_of_Derry http://www.thesiegemuseum.org/ BBC Sounds a short history of Ireland podcast - from around omnibus 20 builds up to the history of the Orange Order; Siege of Derry and the Apprentice Boys of Derryhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mnfpl Derry - Londonderry City of Culture 2013: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/dec/29/derry-city-of-culture-reawakened-idealism Drumcree standoff 1995-2000: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumcree_conflict Different Drums - Roy Arbuckle: http://www.differentdrums.net/players/roy-arbuckle/ Rev Ian Paisley: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/12/the-rev-ian-paisley Moby Dick - The Novel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby-Dick Dick - the whale in the Foyle! https://www.derryjournal.com/news/dopey-dick-has-retired-scotland-784232 Tommy Teirnan - Gerry Quinn: https://www.tommedian.com/ The Punt - currency in Ireland before the Euro..  http://www.irishcoinage.com/PICINDX4.HTM Progressive Unionist Party (PUP) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-11121336 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulster_loyalism Club Biscuits: https://mcvities.co.uk/products/club Bronagh Taggart - Nicola in Peggy’s diner: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0846499/ Terence Keeley - the wee ‘ra man in the boot: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4563636/ 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/

Even if some of the hosts have eight bedrooms and a chocolate fountain, one wean from Chernobyl is not impressed and Granda Joe's new ‘friend’ has started a Cold War. Pauline, Jeanie and Marie Louise talk condoms, blow-dries and the downsides to a bomb damaged bargain. Pauline discovers why it really matters whether Granda Joe bought a cream horn or a cream finger and whether the Stations of the Cross is a suitable place for a date.
