We’ve waited over a year and it didn’t disappoint.
Derry Girls made a welcome return to Channel 4 tonight and once again had us in stitches from beginning to end.
In tonight’s episode our gals (and the wee English fella) embarked on an outdoor pursuits weekend with a boys’ school group; an outing that was only ever going to spell trouble.
Erin and Michelle saw it as a chance to get off with some new and exotic members of the opposite sex, James as a way to make male friends, Claire as an educational opportunity and Orla… well you couldn’t be quite sure of Orla’s intentions.
As well as the main cast, all of the best things about season one have returned for season two.
The cinematic aerial views of Derry are still a feature, as is the banging 90s’ soundtrack.
So are our favourite supporting characters – Jenny the lick-arse, the glorious Father Peter and, praise be, Sister Michael.
Sister (Sr) Michael deserves her own show ? A brilliant character #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/KJH7COTN4F

The perennially fed-up nun got some of the best quips of the episode (“I think we should keep them in cages”) but the line that had most people on line cracking up was how one of the Protestant lads described her.
Omg the small angry penguin woman #DerryGirls
