There She Goes is about a severely learning disabled girl Rosie, her dad Simon, mum Emily and brother Ben.

Each episode shines a light on day-to-day life with Rosie - unique experiences from simply trying to take her to the park to trying to explain that everyday isn't her birthday.

A second timeline in 2006/2017 shows the effect having a severely disabled child had on the family unit, how it threatened to disintegrate but ultimately brought them even closer.

All the stories and characters are drawn from the real life experience of writers Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford, whose daughter Joey was born with an extremely rare chromosomal disorder. Shaun, Sarah, Joey and Frank are pictured below:
