And the pupils? It’s not the best start.

Trendy priest Father Peter (and his good hair) returns to lead a series of workshops. “What do Protestants and Catholics have in common?” he asks. The differences come thick and fast. You may have seen, on social media, a picture of the blackboard that school swot Jenny is writing them up on. It’s a work of genius that blackboard. It’s absurd and hilarious, but there’s a load in there about religion and class and how power works.

“Protestants love soup.” “All Catholic gravy is Bisto.” “Protestants think Catholics keep coal in the bath.” “Protestants have horses and wear gillets.” And that already-classic line: “Protestants keep toasters in cupboards”. It’s weird, it doesn’t make much sense, but nonetheless, you still know exactly what they mean.

They do try and bond more later on though, as the girls (and James) sneak into the Academy’s dorm to try and start a party. It’s actually the beginning of a lot of misunderstandings, including a mishearing of Catholic/athletes, poor James’ attempts at being a lad, Michelle’s chosen “ride” wearing a purity band and Erin attempting to hit on a boy, but doing it so badly that he thinks she’s having a breakdown. (She also calls him “honeybunny” in an attempt to sound sophisticated, which, speculating again – she perhaps picked up from Pulp Fiction, released the year before.)

The following morning, tensions escalate with Claire dangling from an abseiling rope shrieking that her Protestant task buddy is a murderer who thinks they’re all “Fenian bastards”. A full-on fist-fight ensues. Parents are called. Finally, the group realise what they all have in common: interfering parents determined to cause embarrassment.

And yes, we have said nothing of The Big Bowl in this recap. But I imagine the saga of The Big Bowl will run and run, so let’s save it.

Derry Girls series two continues next Tuesday at 9.15pm on Channel 4.
