Behind the Scenes of There She Goes - Season TwoFrom a Herald Scotland interview with Gregor Fisher (who played David’s father in the show, and is best known for playing Rab C. Nesbitt):Fisher has never been one to bang on the doors of job opportunity – he accepts offers as often as Rab has been invited to model Armani underwear. He’d rather be organising French builders. But he reveals he’s set to appear in a TV drama.“There was a job came in for me recently for the drama There She Goes, with David Tennant. I was asked to come and play his father. Now, ordinarily, I don’t like guesting in things but I know David quite well. He once appeared in a Nesbitt episode and in Para Handy with me and he’s an awful nice boy.”“And so the reason I did it was because I knew I’d be working with one of the good guys.” He laughs. “Ordinarily I’d say, ‘Naw, I’m awful busy digging a hole in the garden.’”From the BBC Press Release Q&A with writers Shaun Pye and Sarah CrawfordWhat reaction did you get to the first series? Did is surprise you both?We were nervous about how the first series would be received, especially by parents or siblings of children with similar conditions. But the response was overwhelmingly positive. So many people got in touch to say “my child has a learning disability, it’s like watching my life on telly.”We only ever intended to tell our daughter’s story, but the fact that so much of it resonated with so many other people’s stories was enormously comforting, that idea that we weren’t alone. Other people were imperfectly raising their disabled children too! -- source link
