    The name of the village, Royston Vasey, is actually the real name of the stand up comedian Roy 'Chubby' Brown. I've never really watched this show to be honest but I believe he has a cameo as the local mayor in a couple of episodes

She hated me because I'd already been to Uni, her actual phrase was "there you are, going for a job with your STERTIFICATE in ya hot little hand" LOL just too close to the stuff Pauline says!

    I’d highly recommend the Christmas speacial. Possibly the best comedy Christmas special I’ve ever watched and the good thing is it’s a stand-alone story, so gives nothing away from any of the seasons.

    One of the slightly disturbing things about Pauline is that she's apparently based on the restart officer that Reece Shearsmith actually had in real life.

He once bought me a Pint... of Orange (I was 8) and he gave me a signed copy of one of his VHS' which I had until a few years ago when I put it in my stapdads coffin as he was a big fan of Chubby.

You might have copyright probs so just watch them yourself to get into them and just as a relaxation. I should warn you Derry Girls set in Northern Irelend where the accents are quite strong so you might need subtitles but you’re probably becoming an expert by now.
