David Tennant and Jessica Hynes return for There She Goes special episode
The comedy drama previously aired two seasons in 2018 and 2020.
Comedy drama series There She Goes, starring David Tennant and Jessica Hynes, is set to return to the BBC for a one-off hour-long special.
The series – which follows the day-to-day life of a girl with a severe learning disability and her family, and has been based on the real-life experiences of writers Shaun Pye and Sarah Crawford – first aired in BBC Four in 2018, before moving to BBC Two for its second season in 2020.
The new special has now started filming and will air on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer. It will see the family struggling to deal with now-13-year-old Rosie's increasingly wild behaviour as she tries to comprehend puberty, while they search to unlock the secrets of Rosie's chromosomal condition.
Pye and Crawford, writers and creators of the show whose daughter was born with an extremely rare chromosomal disorder, said: "In the space of a few weeks in early 2020 during a pivotal phase in our daughter’s life, our family experienced the most poignantly funny moments, painfully difficult lows and exhilaratingly uplifting highs of life with Joey Pye, a child with a rare chromosomal disorder.
"We’re so pleased we are getting to share this funny, difficult, but ultimately joyous story of bringing up a child who’s different."

"At Merman, we’re very thankful to Shaun and Sarah and to all those involved in helping bring such an emotive and personal story to our screens."
The series is executive produced by Sharon Horgan, creator and star of Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters, while the special is being directed by Tom McKay, known for his work on shows including Bloods and Drunk History: UK.
