Episode 36: Series 3 | Episode 1: The Night Before…

CONTAINS SPOILERS 

It's been a long 4 days since the TDG's attended the Premiere of Season 3 of Derry Girls. That is a long time to keep a secret, especially in Derry. Just who was THE special guest. Through various chats with folk around the City Jeanie, Pauline and Marie-Louise were told to expect everyone from Beyonce to Princess Diana…

So buckle up… for the TDG's it is now the morning after The Night Before received it's first screening on Channel 4 and they have a few things to say about it…
