Zawe Ashton on the BBC's Wanderlust

Available for over a year

The brilliant Zawe Ashton joins Shaun in the final hour to chat about her latest project Wanderlust which is a six-part BBC /Netflix family drama which also stars Toni Collette. Wanderlust is the first television series scripted by award-winning playwright Nick Payne and is directed by Luke Snellin who also directed The A Word and Our Girl, and looks at how we build and maintain happy relationships and asks whether lifelong monogamy is possible - or even desirable. Wanderlust follows Joy Richards (Toni Collette) a therapist trying to find a way to keep her spark with her husband alive after a cycling accident causes them to reassess their relationship. As we meet her family, friends, neighbours and clients, remarkable yet relatable stories of love, lust and forbidden desire emerge.
