“Is this my wake?”
While the majority of the most recent episode of Derry Girls revolved around the Quinn family – we’re never, ever going to step put of line with Ma Mary – there was plenty of scope for religion to enter the fray.
Granted, a wedding and a funeral would do that but in the moments when Michelle wasn’t talking about weed in front of a priest, or when the gang were praying to God to make the scones vanish, there’s only one person that Derry Girls fans wanted to spiritual guidance.
Of course we’re talking about Sister Michael.
It may have taken a while for Siobhan McSweeney’s beloved character to make an appearance but when she did, Christ, it was special.
When Sister Michael was not cursing tall people because they make communion harder, she’s engaging in the most dull and weirdly conversation that you’ll hear.
As Granda Joe says “When it comes to our Colm, it’s every man for himself!”
Truth be told, this entire passage was just gold.
Uncle Colm: Now, I don’t mind a bit of a breeze, if any, I prefer it. But that one was aggressive. So I says to myself. I say ‘Colm, this is no day for a do’.
Sister Michael: What’s happening?
Uncle Colm: When the bride arrives, and I say by this stage, the wind was fierce.
Sister Michael: Am I dead?
Uncle Colm: I’ve never heard wind like it.
Sister Michael: Is this my wake?
Uncle Colm: Howling like a banshee it was.
Sister Michael: Am I in hell?
Uncle Colm: So the poor girl, the bride now this is, she arrives and isn’t she no sooner out of the car than she’s lifted up in the air like a paper doll and blown into a flowerbed.
Sister Michael: That’s actually quite funny.
After his previous stories about being robbed, shoelaces, and the fella he knew from Ballynahinch that choked to death on a boiled sweet, Uncle Colm has lost none of his charm with the public.
It also helps that Sister Michael can do no wrong!

Derry Girls is such a clever feel good comedy brimming over with top cast but we need more Kevin McAleer. He is one cool dude! #DerryGirls
