Doctor Foster star Suranne Jones slams binge-watching and prefers watching TV shows the ‘old fashioned’ way

DOCTOR Foster’s Suranne Jones has blasted binge-watching for destroying the “community” around telly shows.

She says TV thrives on old-style collective viewing not lone box-set streaming.

Suranne, who won a Bafta for her role as vengeful Gemma Foster, said: “I’m really proud of the show and people’s reaction to it.

“Everyone feels a connection to it because it’s not binge-watched. It’s on once a week and you have a week to talk about it.

I think that created a community and I loved that. I think it’s important that we watch television in an old-fashioned way.”

The Doctor Foster finale drew more than seven million viewers.

Ex-Corrie actress Suranne, 39, said there are “no plans yet” for a third series but she would be happy to do it if writer Mike Bartlett “comes up with another story”.
