Hey there, beautiful people! I'm here with the next episode of Derry Girls, thanks to Ashleigh!
This episode was so friggin weird and I really love how much the era the show is set in plays into the main plot points. Clearly, they didn't just plan to set it in the 90s because they felt like showcasing some bad fashion and great music; they wanted to tell some really specific stories.
This episode focused on some exchange students from the Ukraine who were victims of the Chernobyl disaster. Everyone in Derry thinks that those kids live in some kind of backwoods no-mans-land, but the Ukranian kids are less impressed with Derry than could be desired. I am a big fan of this whole bizarre story.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you soon with a new episode!
