Interview with Sinead Matthews who plays Paula

What attracted you to this project? When I read the script, I was totally in from the get-go because I just thought it cut to the chase straight away. I got an immediate sense of these women and the honesty of them. They say what a lot of women at home are probably thinking but daren’t say. It felt authentic because Lucy is from Hull and it's a world that I wouldn't mind living in for a certain amount of time. They're such charming women and so funny, and they’re incredibly resilient. The world Lucy has created feels like a world maybe we haven’t seen before. There are a lot of programmes on TV that deal with motherhood but are quite middle class and London-based. So this is a very different lens which widens it out a bit. I’m so proud to be in it and be part of it.

Interview with Writer, Creator and The Original Derry Girl, Lisa McGee

Where do we find the girls in this third series? What we’ve tried to do this season is to have a theme and a genre in every episode, like a little movie. Episode one takes its tonal inspiration from Goodfellas. We meet the gang on the eve of them getting their GCSE results, the episode is called The Night Before, and it’s all set over one evening. The girls are worried they’re going to have to run away from home because they’re going to be so bad, and wind up getting arrested. Meanwhile, Grandpa Joe’s taken in a stray cat. He’s really fond of it, but it’s killing all the animals in the neighbourhood, and him and Gerry have to dispose of the body of a pet rabbit. So, it’s a bit like a very silly thriller, very moody and sort of noir.
