Meet the cast of There She Goes on BBC4
David Tennant and Jessica Hynes play the parents of a severely disabled nine-year-old in Shaun Pye's new comedy drama
"Very few words and moments of explosive violence. Very much like Jason Bourne."
It's not what you'd expect the father of nine-year-old girl with severe learning disabilities to say about his daughter, but Shaun Pye's new comedy drama There She Goes is wholly unexpected — at once moving and funny.
The new series is based on Pye's own experience of raising his daughter, who has a rare chromosomal disorder.
In the show we follow mum and dad, Simon and Emily, and nine-year-old Rosie, but the series also steps back to 2006 when Rosie was born.
