Derry Girls set to leave lasting legacy as final series airs tonight

[Sherman A1]

Four years after crashing on to our screens with memorable lines such as "I don't want to be an individual on my own", Derry Girls returns tonight for a third and final series.

The coming-of-age sitcom, written by Lisa McGee, follows four teenage girls and one "wee English fella" in 1990s Derry as they navigate concerts, crushes and bomb scares.

The comedy has been a ratings winner for Channel 4 and came to international attention after Netflix acquired the rights.

Derry locals often acknowledge the hit show as a vibrant antidote to the bleakness that pervades many depictions of Northern Ireland and the tourism and arts sectors there are hoping the programme will leave a lasting legacy.

1. Anybody know when it will be available on Netflix?

Apparently it’s premiering on Irish TV, but not Netflix yet.

Rock The Boat scene. A sitcom that is actually FUNNY - what a brilliant concept!
