THERE SHE GOES
BBC2, 9.30pm
THIS comedy drama about a family with a learningdisabled daughter is both fraught and funny, throwing our emotions around like a yo-yo.
As the timeline flashes back and forth, there are stresses and strains but also joy and humour as Simon (David Tennant) and Emily (Jessica Hynes) battle to keep the family together.
In this episode, Rosie (Miley Locke) has found some old pictures from Christmas and she’s very excited. But it’s February. How has she got this idea into her head?
It turns out Simon put Home Alone on, so now she’s obsessed and even wants a tree.
Simon suggests they just give in and have Christmas Day, but Emily insists: “I am not living in a Wizzard song.”
They discover President’s
Day on their calendar in a few days and wonder if that might distract her.
Meanwhile, back in 2008, Si and Em are arguing non-stop and discuss with their friends whether they should split up.
