Of all the weird, wonderful, and slightly surreal events that could possibly unfold in 2024, BAFTA-winning actor Suranne Jones declaring her fascination with the occult and fronting a new, two part Channel 4 documentary about witch trials feels like one of the more far-fetched options.
At first glance, Jones – who is best known for playing eccentric, strong characters such Gentleman Jack’s Ann Lister, Doctor Foster’s Gemma Foster, and Vigil’s Detective Chief Inspector Amy Silva – feels like a slightly left-field choice, but it turns out the actor, aged 45, has been gripped by the subject since childhood.
