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 and two are streaming on U. Season three filming is underway.

Zoë joins this ITV crime drama as Zelda Radclyffe, the quirky aunt of criminologist Jasper Tempest. Season four aired on PBS in the US in 2025 and comes to the UK on 19 August 2026. Filming has finished on season five; season six is in the pipeline.

The website’s 23rd birthday ♡

I have to take a deep breath as I write this, but unbelievably, 30 July 2025 will mark 23 years since the launch of zoewanamaker.com (or geocities.com/zwsite as it was back then).

To celebrate the occasion, I’ve asked my friend’s daughter, the brilliantly talented young artist Emily (aka ‘E Smi’), to sketch a portrait of Zoë.

You can click on/tap the image for a bigger version.

As her reference, Emily used what must surely be one of the loveliest photos of Zoë ever taken. The finished artwork is even more wonderful than I’d hoped. Emily has captured Zoë’s delicate, distinctive features beautifully.

Sincere thanks to Emily and her mum Debra for making this celebration possible. You can see more of Emily’s fantastic artwork and even purchase prints on her own website.

I’m also extremely grateful to my family, Zoë’s PA Vanessa, and of course Zoë herself for believing in the project I dreamt up as a teenager: to create a website about my favourite actress for the benefit of other fans.
