Derry Girls: Across the Barricade

(first shown on Channel 4): The girls are back. And while the first series saw the gang navigate parents, parties, love interests and school against a back drop of The Troubles, series two sees them navigate... parents, parties, love interests and school against the backdrop of a precarious peace process. All the old faces return including Kevin McAleer as Uncle Colm, as well as a raft of new ones including Ardal O'Hanlon as Eamonn; the awkward, middle-aged mummy's boy of the Quinn/McCool extended family. In the first show Erin and the rest of the gang are excited to attend an outdoor pursuits weekend which aims to bring Protestant and Catholic school kids together as part of a peace initiative. But peace is the last thing on Michelle's mind once she finds out that there will be Protestant lads there!
