Uncle Colm is the brother of Granda Joe and a man who can spin a yarn. In fact he could knit a jumper with it. Long winded and drawl, he frequently regales his long-suffering relatives with tales of yore, fellas he met once and of the everyday bachelor life in not so fascinating detail. Claim to fame was being tied up with his own shoe laces as paramilitaries hijacked his van. Thanks to his niece Sarah, Colm managed to get on the UTV News but hopes of free chips for a month from Fionnuala's chippie were dashed due to the antics of the younger ones. Hilariously played by Kevin McAleer, pictured here with (L-R) Orla Mccool (Louisa Clare Harland), Clare Devlin (Nicola Coughlan), Erin Quinn (Saoirse Monica Jackson), James Maguire (Dylan Llewellyn), Michelle Mallon (Jamie - Lee O'Donnell), (Picture: Channel 4)

The city of Derry. Lisa McGee, the creator and writer of Derry Girls, has described the show as a love letter to her beautiful native city and says Derry is very much a character in its own right in the hit series. Undoubtedly the scenes shot in Derry from the ancient City Walls, to the Limewood Street/ Beechwood Street area, Creggan to the Bogside, the Waterside and beyond add greatly to the authenticity and the look and feel of the show. An ancient city situated on the border between the north and south of Ireland in the north west corner of Ireland, Derry and its hinterland in Counties Donegal, Derry, Tyrone and Antrim are becoming increasingly popular tourist destinations with ancient sites, great nightlife and stunning coastal scenery along the Wold Atlantic Way and the Causeway Coastal Route. The city, which has a population of around 110,000 people has a long and chequered history and its story is in many ways the history of Ireland over the centuries.
