'Derry Girls' check in from 1996 with uplifting message for everyone staying home

In these uncertain times, what we really need is our beloved Derry Girls to comfort us.

Now, we might not have Season 3 on our screens just yet, but the girls have put out a video message to cheer our weary hearts while many of us are social distancing and staying home.

Erin and Orla are camped out in a makeshift "bunker" (if you can really call it that) in the airing cupboard during the 1996 riots in Derry, Northern Ireland.

True to Derry Girls form, their message is equal parts hilarious and moving — this pair have a way of making you laugh 'til tears the roll down your face.

Before you get worried about Saoirse Jackson (Erin) and Louise Harland (Orla) breaking UK lockdown rules to record the video, fear not. The pair actually live together in real life.

"Good evening my name is Erin Quinn and this is Orla McCool," begins Erin.

"The year is 1996 and we're speaking from Derry, Northern Ireland. These are uncertain times. Peace negotiations have broken down and mass rioting engulfs our streets. The city is literally on fire. We've been ordered to remain inside our homes by the authorities," she continues.

Erin explained that they took the "brave decision" to record their experience for future historians. "It's not gonna be easy," she said.

"At this stage I've already lost all sense of time. I mean, I've no idea how long I've been here." It's a feeling we can all relate to right now.

"I would say 20 minutes or so," Orla interjected.

"God knows when this'll be over, but when we eventually walk back out into the world I will look at everything with new eyes," continued Erin. "A situation like this makes you appreciate all the things that you took for granted."

Never a truer word has been spoken.
