Description
If you haven't already watched There She Goes, the BBC's new comedy-drama, then you REALLY need to get yourself on iPlayer asap.The show tells the story of a couple doing their best to raise their disabled 12 year-old daughter, who has a chromosomal disorder which leaves her unable to talk and with severe learning difficulties. It is a brilliant, hilarious and frighteningly recognisable portrayal of family life - which is largely thanks to the show being the real-life story of the man who wrote it, Shaun Pye.In this episode of the podcast, Shaun joins Rich and Steve to talk about the shortage of realistic on-screen dads, explains how he and his wife have learned to cope with their child's disability and offers some fantastic advice to all fathers and fathers-to-be.
