Dr Foster

1. Who is the main character and how are they being represented in the trailer?
2. How does this fit with your previous conceptions of female stereotypes? 
3. Research who produced and directed both shows and consider how this may alter the way the characters are constructed.

 
 DR. FOSTER

1. The main character is Dr. Gemma Foster. She is represented as a doctor with the perfect life; she is a trusted GP, has many friends and a settled family-- until her husband starts acting suspiciously. The doctor begins to think her husband is having an affair and decides to investigate, but the secrets she uncovers tear her world apart.
2. She is portrayed as a strong woman, who has a really good job. She is represented more like a man, because of the role that she has in the TV Drama. 
3. The TV Drama was produced by a woman called Jude Liknaitzky, but it was written by a man called Mike Bartlett. Maybe, because the producer is a woman, the women in the TV Drama might have more led roles, compared to the men.
