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.

Video: Zoë discusses her 'delicious' character in Zorba!

27 April 2015 23:01

This brand new video by TheaterPizzazz.com takes us behind-the-scenes during rehearsals for the musical Zorba! It also features interviews with several cast members, including Zoë.

Zoë is clearly delighted to play the 'delicious' role of Hortense, the innkeeper who is the object of jack-of-all trades Zorba's affections.

'When I was very young, I remember seeing the film [Zorba the Greek], which was quite spectacular; and my Dad worked with [the film's director] Michael Cacoyannis,' she remarks.

If the rehearsal footage is anything to go by, Zorba! looks set to be spectacular too. Zoë points out she is laughing a great deal during rehearsals, while Santino Fontana (who plays Zorba's shy friend, Niko) emphasises, in an interview with BroadwayWorld.com, that working on Zorba! with actors he greatly admires such as Zoë 'makes this really exciting for me and I am really looking forward to doing it'.

Performances will take place from 6-10 May at New York City Center. Tickets are available now.

Updated 28 April: New York City Center has released several brand new photos of Zoë and her Zorba! castmates. You can see the hi-res images on BroadwayWorld.com.

Thanks to Janet for the link to the video.
