Zoe's fascinating exploration of her family history, first broadcast in February last year, will soon be available on Region 2 DVD as part of the Who Do You Think You Are?: Series 6 set.  Several other well known individuals, including Davina McCall and Kim Cattrall, also examine their heritage in the series.  The set is scheduled to be released on 6 September.  For a reminder of some of the discoveries made in Zoe's episode, visit the BBC's Who Do You Think You Are? webpages.  You can also watch footage not shown in the episode at the website for Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine.
18.07.10  Making Zoë's website bigger and better
In addition to re-designing the website, I'm also re-writing it to encompass lots more facts, interviews, reviews, photos, etc.  It's a large project, in which I hope to do justice to Zoe's fantastic, varied work that we all enjoy so much.  You should see the results towards the end of this year or the beginning of the next.  If you have any comments or questions about the process, please feel free to email me (Liz).
18.07.10  It's a Wonderful Afterlife DVD
Having been shown in cinemas earlier this year, It's a Wonderful Afterlife is scheduled to be released on Region 2 DVD on 16 August.  Zoe plays Mrs Goldman, quirky neighbour to a widow, Mrs Sethi, who has a dark secret in this entertaining mix of comedy, horror, and romance.
03.07.10  My Family interviews
In an interview with the Telegraph, Zoë discusses the enduring popularity of My Family and her long-standing friendship with co-star Robert Lindsay, whom she first met when both were drama school students.  Lindsay explains that he and Zoe share 'a very similar sense of humour' in an interview for the Daily Express's Saturday magazine.  The tenth series of My Family begins on 9 July (BBC1, 9pm), as mentioned previously.  My Family Online is chronicling the Harpers' escapades by preparing a series ten episode guide.
29.06.10  Zoë on stage in 2011
With All My Sons receiving fantastic reviews, and My Family soon to be broadcast (see below), Zoë's next stage project has already been announced.  In 2011, Zoe is set to play Madame Ranevskaya in a National Theatre production of The Cherry Orchard, a play in which she has appeared twice before (for regional productions, shortly after leaving drama school).  Whatsonstage.com notes that Chekhov's masterpiece will be included in the Travelex £10 Tickets season.  Two previous productions starring Zoe - His Girl Friday and The Rose Tattoo - were also part of this reduced-price tickets scheme.
29.06.10  My Family returns!
As reported in many TV listings magazines this week, Zoë is returning to TV screens for the tenth series of My Family, which will begin on 9 July (BBC1, 9pm).  The first episode, 'Wheelie Ben', sees Susan's husband (played by Robert Lindsay) get into a very tricky situation with the local council.  The new series marks a decade of the popular comedy.  As Robert Lindsay jokes in the latest edition of the Total TV Guide, his children now refer to Zoe as 'the other wife'.  Among the other magazines with features about the show, including brand new publicity photos, are: TV Choice, TV Easy, TV Guide, TV Times, TV Quick, and What's on TVMy Family Online is preparing an episode guide for series ten.
26.06.10  All My Sons video
Zoë and many of her fellow cast members, including David Suchet, perform extracts from Miller's play in a trailer available via the official website for All My Sons.
