The Simpsons has paid tribute to Derry Girls with a subtle nod to the Channel 4 series ahead of it's final season later this year.But now they've gone one further by giving a shout out to the sitcom last Sunday evening's episode.
During the episode, Homer takes the family to an ice-cream parlour, but leaves the family dog Santa's Little Helper inside.Producer Matt Selman confirmed the nod, telling Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee that "it was the least we could do".Saoirse-Monica Jackson , Nicola Coughlan , Jamie-Lee O'Donnell , Louisa Harland and Dylan Llewellyn are all set to reprise their roles when it comes to our screens later this year.
In the trailer, there are meltdowns and even a mention of oppressive breathing, as the group try and navigate their final year of school as well as their busy - and sometimes turbulent - home lives. The show, written by McGee, has been praised for both it's humour and the handling of the complicated history of Derry.Read more: Gay Simpsons' character Smithers gets first boyfriend after coming out
