Doctor Foster is clearly becoming a global phenomenon, with the acclaimed BBC drama now getting another overseas remake.

Following the news that Russia will make its own version of the show, France has now jumped on the bandwagon with a remake called Infidéle (Unfaithful).

The six-episode series will see French actress and singer Claire Keim (below) take on the lead role, here renamed Emma Sandrelli. Well, that sounds more French than Docteur Gemma Foster, let's be honest.

Infidéle will be made by TF1 with Storia Télévision, becoming the first scripted BBC Studios production in the region. It will be directed by Didier Le Pêcheur, with Hélène Duchâteau, Baptiste Filleul and Pierre Linhart adapting the screenplay.

Meanwhile, on the UK Doctor Foster front, there is yet to be any confirmation of a third series of the show, with Suranne Jones admitting earlier this year that there haven't been any discussions.

"You should never say never," she said, "because if I say I'm not doing it, then I rule that out, so I'm not saying no. But we're busy.

"I'm filming until December 2018, so I'm not even free until 2019 and the team are doing their new show, Mike Barlett's writing two series, so we've not talked about it, because we're still basking in number two. So who knows?"

Creator Mike Bartlett has also spoken about the potential of a third series, explaining: "No-one has ever put pressure on me to make more of it. I think the BBC would rather I did something new, but if we do bring Doctor Foster back it will only thrive if we do it at the right time."
