Zoe's five favourite moments in her career to-date
- How To Become A Criminal Mastermind. Playing an assassin, I had to play with knives and it made me want to learn knife throwing.
- Mr Selfridge. Where Caroline Pope taught me to flapper and black bottom dance. I also got to learn to play poker and baccarat.
- The Possession of David O'Reilly. Living on set with the director for the duration of filming.
- Performing on the Olivier stage at the national with NYT.
- Assisting Anna Strasberg to direct Tolstoy's Redemption at The Lee Strasberg Institute in New York.

Zoe's five big aspirations for her career going forward
- I'd love to play a part where I get to use a sword and ride a horse.
- Work on another British period drama. I think they just make them so well. I'm a fan of Ripper Street and Penny Dreadful.
- One of my favourite films is Jude the Obscure directed by Michael Winterbottom, so I've always wanted to work with him.
- Work with a repertory Sheakspeare theatre company and play the role of Portia from The Merchant of Venice or Viola from Twelfth Night.
- I was fortunate to work with a wire rigging team in Slovenia last year and had to fly eight meters in the air. I'd like to do that again for in-camera special effects. Or aerial silks.
Mr Selfridge returns later this month on ITV.
