Based on the real-life experiences of writers Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford, whose daughter was born with an extremely rare chromosomal disorder, There She Goes follows the day-to-day life of Rosie Yates (Miley Locke), a severely learning-disabled girl and her family, dad Simon (David Tennant), mum Emily (Jessica Hynes) and older brother Ben (Edan Hayhurst).
In the special episode, Rosie Yates is now 13 and is starting to display increasingly challenging, emotional and physical behaviour, veering wildly from joyous obsessions with her letter X, tigers with X’s on their nose, ticket barriers and FedEx lorries, to sudden violent outbursts both directed at her parents and herself. The family realises that Rosie is simply struggling to cope with the onset of puberty, just like any other teenage girl. Whilst the family deals with a teenage Rosie, their geneticist calls with news of Rosie’s condition. In the earlier timeline, Emily starts thinking about whether she and Si should have another baby after a chance meeting with a mother of a child with a chromosomal disorder.
