What is There She Goes season two about?
Series two of There She Goes sees the return of the Yates family, navigating everyday life and its challenges, while trying to find humour in it all. Simon and Emily take Rosie to the library and immediately chaos erupts, but there's a glimmer of hope as Rosie says her first word. Throughout series two, there are flashbacks to when Rosie is first diagnosed as a nine-year-old and present day as an 11-year-old for the latest episodes.

Ahead of the new episodes, writer Shaun said: "The joy of it is that you can have the early timeline, which is darker and more miserable, but in a way, the lightness of the later timeline tells the audience that it’s all going to be fine. Nothing horrible is going to happen to this little girl – there’s light at the end of it, so enjoy or embrace the darkness in the early timeline because it does get better, don't worry."
What happened in There She Goes season one?
Series one introduced the Yates family through two timelines, shortly after Rosie was born in 2006 as the family come to terms with her diagnosis, and 2015 when she's aged nine. The five episodes saw the family deal with many tricky situations thrown their way, including challenging family dinners and the difficulties in Simon and Emily's marriage including Simon's problems with alcohol.
