Washington [US], May 15 : The popular sitcom 'Derry Girls' has secured the title for best-scripted comedy at BAFTA TV Awards, 2023. The show concluded with three seasons and has received crazy love from the audience across the globe.
According to Deadline, a US-based media house, the concluding season of the show is awarded the well-deserved title of tickling the audience with a story that takes you on an adventure with a young girl and her cousin based in Ireland.
While accepting the award the creator-writer of the show Lisa McGee said, "In the specific, there is the universal, and if you always look in the dark there will be light."

The show was one of the most-rated series on the channel to replace last year's winner under the same category 'Motherland'.
The teen sitcom features actors Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Louisa Harland, Nicola Coughlan, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell and Dylan Llewellyn in lead roles.
