THE first episode of the much anticipated new Channel 4 series Derry Girls aired last night - and viewers loved it.
Audience members were quick to share their thoughts on the show via Twitter after the episode aired at 10pm - with some proclaiming it to be the hit show of 2018 and others repeating some of the classic one-liners the new show by acclaimed writer Lisa McGee, and featuring comic Tommy Tiernan, brought us.
Here's what the Twittersphere had to say:
