00:00Right, could you just introduce yourself please?
00:02Uh, I'm Kaelin and I'm from Glasgow.
00:05Nice to meet you.
00:06Do you have a favourite character from the show I guess?
00:09Um, not sure.
00:11Is there anyone that maybe you think needs to be funniest out of the lot?
00:15Orla.
00:17Orla. Why do you think Orla is? Is she a bit weird?
00:19Yeah.
00:20Have you got a favourite episode at all or anyone that comes to mind?
00:23I've only saw the first two.
00:25Oh, which ones have you heard of of the two?
00:28Uh, the first one.
00:30And do you think you'd watch more?
00:32Yeah.
00:33Right, could you just introduce yourself please?
00:35My name's Karen. I'm from Dublin, just here on a visit.
00:38And can you tell me who's your favourite character from the show I guess?
00:41Um, probably the mum.
00:46Why is that? Do you relate to her maybe a little bit?
00:49Yeah, she's just, I think, quite funny and had some good one-liners and stuff.
00:55I thought she was very funny.
00:57Have you got a favourite episode?
00:59Uh, the one where, I think it's the first one of the second season,
01:03where they meet up with the other boys at school
01:07and they have the Catholics versus the Protestants all on the board.
01:10That's probably the best one of them.
01:13And the students, have you ever seen them ring the bell or anything like that?
01:18Yeah, even if they did a one-off kind of TV movie or something,
01:22to see where they are now, I think it'd be quite good. It'd be funny, yeah.
01:26Could you introduce yourself first, please? Where is she?
01:28Hi, my name's Jennifer. I'm from Newry.
01:31Nice to meet you, Jennifer. And what's your favourite character from the show I guess?
01:35Grandpa Joe.
01:37And why is he your favourite? Do you relate to him in any way? Is it his lines or...?
01:40Yeah, just like grumpy, sarcastic, hilarious.
01:45Do you think he kind of captures that grumpy old normal man?
01:49Yeah, just awkward. Awkward. Won't be told.
01:53Can you tell me what your favourite episode is?
01:57Or maybe one that resonates with you.
01:59Probably the one, I can't remember her name, where the new English teacher comes in
02:03and they're all just in love with her.
02:06Yeah, that's a really good one.
02:09Also, I can't remember what episode it was, but I can't remember the nun's name,
02:13but when the priests get on like a total prat and she's just rolling her eyes going,
02:20I live in England, so it's just funny to see all the vernacular playing out in your own language.
02:26The show only went for three seasons. Do you think that was a perfect amount,
02:30or do you think it should have went on for longer?
02:32Yeah, you don't want to tear the arse out of it.
02:34Yeah, I'm Becky Hopkins. I'm from the Liverpool area, just visiting for the day.
02:40And who's your favourite character from the show I guess?
02:43I love... I've forgotten her name now.
02:47Why is she your favourite? Do you think she's like the funnest?
02:50Or do you think she resonates with her character the most?
02:53She's just a bit out there, a bit different, and I just love how random she is.
03:01But they're all great though.
03:03Do you have a favourite episode from the series?
03:06They've got so many.
03:09Or maybe one that resonated with you.
03:11I'll go with the Liam Neeson one, just because that's the first one that jumps to mind.
03:15But there's so many.
03:18Yeah, because it's just a lot of fun, really.
03:22The show ended on three seasons. Do you think that was enough, or do you think it could do more?
03:26I think it ended really well, actually.
03:28I think sometimes the series can go on for too long.
03:32So I thought it was just enough, to be honest.
03:35Yeah, it was great.
