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.

Zoë in conversation with Aled Jones on BBC Radio Wales, plus Essential Classics photos

What a busy, brilliant week for radio interviews!

Zoë will join singer and presenter Aled Jones on BBC Radio Wales on 4 June at 1:05pm for conversation and music. (You may remember Jones hosted last year's Children & The Arts' Christmas Concert, at which Zoë gave a reading.) Even if you don't live in Wales, you can listen online or catch up later via the podcast or iPlayer.

In addition, there are two more editions of BBC Radio 3's Essential Classics, featuring Zoë as the special guest, to look forward to. You can hear her interviews on 1 and 2 June at 10am. The three previous editions are currently available on the iPlayer, while the BBC has released some lovely photos of Zoë at the recording session, as well as a couple of great clips.

You're sure to enjoy Essential Classics even if (like me) you're not particularly knowledgeable about history's great composers. The conversation between Zoë and the presenter, Sarah Walker, flows naturally and is full of insights, while Zoë's chosen pieces of classical music are diverse and inspiring.

Huge thanks to Janet for her help
