Episode 5: The Prom

Summary

Jenny Joyce organises a 1950s-style prom, but the friends are more intrigued by the arrival of a new girl at Lady Immaculate. Erin, Clare and Michelle are looking for prom dates, but Orla has already got someone special in mind

Review

There’s a new girl at school called Mae, and thrillingly for the teenagers, she’s not white. The gang is enthralled by this “exoticism” and set about making her their new friend. “How class would it be to have a Chinese friend?” says Clare, dreamily. Disappointingly for them, she speaks not a word of Cantonese and is actually from Donegal, which Sister Michael points out wryly is a very different culture from Derry too.

When you least expect it, Derry Girls throws you with a moving, momentous scene. This week the TV is broken and Ma Mary is furious that she’s missed London’s Burning. What she’s actually missed, she discovers, is that John Major has issued the Downing Street Declaration in the hope of peace.
