There She Goes is back! One-off special tonight - Thursday 21st June, 2023, BBC2, 9PM

[RareMomentOfCalm]

I've started a thread in Telly Addicts but think this deserves threads in SN Chat and SN Children and Teens/Young Adults too to try to reach as many folks as possible! I've name-changed since Series 1 and 2.

Starring Jessica Hynes, David Tennant, Edan Hayhurst and Miley Locke.

Here's the trailer:

There She Goes Special 2023

'Rosie Yates is now 13 and is starting to display increasingly challenging emotional and physical behaviour, veering wildly from joyous obsessions with the letter X, tigers with Xs on their nose, ticket barriers and Fedex lorries to sudden violent outbursts directed at both her parents and herself.
The family realise that Rosie is simply struggling to cope with the onset of puberty, just like any other teenage girl. Whilst the family deal with a teenage Rosie, their geneticist calls with news of Rosie’s condition.'

Sorry - it's Wednesday 21st today, isn't it?!

Truly excellent, as always. What a roller-coaster ride of emotion - tears, laughter and recognition. Thank you to all involved in making There She Goes and especially to the Pye family for sharing their story.

@RareMomentOfCalm I've not seen any of these shows but the trailer looks good. What sort of age child would it be suitable for? I'm wondering about watching it with my autistic DD who is 12 - but she might get upset if it is too sad. Thanks 🙂

Hi @Ipackedmysandwichesforlunch
Without knowing your DD, that's a difficult one to answer. I would be cautious if I were you. I think the best option would be for you to watch it alone and then you can make the best judgement about whether it would be suitable to watch again together. This Special is just under an hour.

Thanks @RareMomentOfCalm I will take a look.

You're welcome @Ipackedmysandwichesforlunch - do let us know how you get on and what you think to it.

I just watched the whole think from Series 1.
I wouldn't say 'sad' but it is seen through the adult eyes, and could be distressing at times.
The impact on the whole family is shown including them struggling to cope at times.
I wouldn't show it to my DD (anxiety other needs) as it would make her feel guilty about her own needs.

I've just watched the first episode. It's v good but😭i don't think it'd be good for my daughter to watch after all. I will definitely watch it myself though.
