Zoë plays Charlie Hungerford, the whip-smart mother-in-law of recently widowed detective Jim Bergerac, in this reimagining of the classic 80s drama set in Jersey. Season one is streaming on U; season two arrives on U and U&DRAMA on 16 April.

Zoë has joined the cast of this ITV crime drama as Zelda Radclyffe, the quirky aunt of Cambridge professor Jasper Tempest, who helps the police solve challenging murder cases. Season four aired on PBS in the US in 2025 and comes to the UK in 2026, while filming recently finished on season five.

Hopefully we won't have long to wait before production photos are released. Meanwhile, there are plenty of rehearsal photos to enjoy.

Tickets to The Birthday Party are available now. The show runs at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London's West End until 14 April.

The Birthday Party is a classic play, and this has the potential to be a classic production too. Let's wish everyone involved every success.

With thanks to Karoline for the link to the rehearsal photos.
