Not since Doctor Foster crashed on to our screens in 2015 has a drama about affairs and subsequent revenge been so glossily filmed for the small screen.

This week Jenna Coleman stars in Amazon Prime Video’s new drama Wilderness as the wronged wife in this fresh take on infidelity and retribution, a subject that’s as old as the ancient Greek myth of Medea.

In the latest issue of Radio Times magazine, we talk to Wilderness writer Marnie Dickens about her inspiration and life-long love of spinning a thrilling yarn.

Also, if you haven’t yet discovered the sharp wit and astute writing of our Smart TV columnist, Caroline Frost, we heartily recommend that you do.

Caroline would love to hear about what you love and what irks you about TV today. So please don’t hold back! Check out her new column in this issue.
