News round-up: Mr Selfridge series three, The Older Woman, LJCC exhibition and more

14 January 2015 02:19

This week a number of TV listings magazines in the UK have offered us a glimpse of Mr Selfridge series three by printing a great new cast photo (see the TV Times clipping below as an example), heralding Zoë's arrival in the costume drama as Russian princess Marie Wiasemsky. The magazines promise more details about the series in their next issue, indicating that Mr Selfridge is set to return to our screens during the last week of January. The wait is nearly over!

In the meantime there is another chance to hear The Older Woman, which starts today on BBC Radio 4 Extra. This comedy series, from 1993, features Zoe as a feisty English teacher, Jane. Jane becomes the object of irrepressible local journalist Roy's affections but struggles to take his advances seriously – not least because he is one of her former pupils! Episode one will be broadcast on 14 January at 7am, and then repeated at 5:30pm and again on 15 January at 5:30am.

Also beginning this week is 'Guest Speakers at Ivy House', an exhibition of photos taken by Dr Adrian Dell for the London Jewish Cultural Centre. Zoë, who in 2012 gave a sold-out talk at Ivy House, the LJCC's home, is among the well-known individuals pictured. The Times series of local newspapers has published a preview of some of the photos, including a lovely portrait of her. The exhibition runs from 12 January to 27 March in the Ivy House Café.

Zoë was also photographed, alongside her husband, Gawn Grainger, attending 12 January's press night performance of Women on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown. This new musical at London's Playhouse Theatre stars Tamsin Greig. To see photos from the event, head to Getty Images, the Daily Mail and Daily Echo.
