Episode 4

The ups and downs of family life and being a transgender teenager. Amy is still refusing to go back to school, and the pressure is telling on her parents.

How will Amy find her new school, will Gary and Charlotte stay together and will Grandad ever find love? Second series of the drama about a transgender teenager by Mark Davies Markham.

A very ordinary family has come to terms with the less ordinary experience of Amy, who was born as Ben. Amy is nervous about starting senior school, and even more moody as teenage life and the puberty delaying hormone blockers kick in. Her parents, Gary and Charlotte, are struggling with their own relationship and Grandad Ted has his own worries.

This affectionate drama was inspired by real life experiences.
