Thank you Sally for taking the time to speak with the fans, and THANK YOU to Pat for arranging this. I'm very glad to hear that you are on the mend and I wish you a continually smooth recovery.
When the Lesbian Culture and those men & women who support them had come together, they created a powerful GJ audience and had a 'big impact.' I would hope Amazon Prime looks to GJ as they are constantly looking for great ideas for an ever growing digital audience, well beyond HBO who keeps trying to sell subscriptions for only what they offer. I bought my digital series 1 & 2 of GJ via Amazon Prime.
I've heard one of the issues with viewers was the lack of interest in Anne Lister's business interests. The most memorable quote from the Gentleman Jack series that I will never forget is from her coal negotiations with Jeremiah Rawson, "226 pounds 17 shillings and six pence." I loved both series and would like to see more. Sally's scripts are genius. Nothing is accidental or coincidental. Her use of the Sowden subplot to juxtapose Sam Sowden's death with Ann Walker's "le petit morte" and Thomas and Suzannah's wedding with Anne and Ann's commitment at Easter 1834 was pure genius. There is so much subtext in the scenes. One of my favorites was Series 2 Episode 1 when Anne Lister was dealing with the new groom who refused to wear "cast-offs." Ann Walker is in the background the whole time admiring Anne Lister dealing with the situation. I don't know if anyone else out there caught the subtext but I did and it was thrilling to watch Ann Walker's enjoyment of Anne Lister's complete command of the situation. I'm hopeful for more of the story and Sally's wonderful scripts.
@@crimson5k440 Certainly the pistols have an affect on Ann Walker. I mean she is all aquiver watching Anne Lister handle the situation. She is absolutely enthralled by her butch wife's appearance and attitude. IRL most femmes do get a kick out of watching their butch handle shit. Even though the lesbian plot is main text, there is plenty of lesbian sub-text and if you don't know what your looking for you'll miss it. It's almost like an inside joke. Well sometimes I think it is an inside joke that is a nod to the lesbians in the audience because I would think that it probably goes straight over the heads of the straight audience. I give a great deal of credit to Suranne Jones' acting chops for her ability to play Anne Lister. However there are certain gestures and mannerism that are unique to lesbians and Suranne got them spot on, as did Sally's script. It;s really a shame that HBO dropped out but hopefully one of the other major producers will pick it up.
Hi,mi always enjoy your chats Pat, & wherever Sally talks I find her & closely watch her too, absorbing every step of the process to bring each episode to us, your grateful fans, both straight & gay, because it’s a history lesson, in so many areas, covering many decades that fill in gaps & expose so much more than we could have hoped for. Can’t you sell merchandise? Like Pats mug, the badges, postcards of the house, (many people have jumped on those already, so I know they sell) the stars, could sign photos etc. the realm of raising funds to prove how serious we are, could help someone pick up the show.
Doesn`t Sally deserve to finish writing this incredible story for the decades of research, dedication, commitment and hard work she has put in to bringing Anne Lister too us? Please consider signing the petition on the Gentleman JackAL community page. And research contact for the BBC, Lookout Point and Warnermedia (HBO). CZcams will not allow me to enter details here.
Pat and Sally, You're both rockstars in my book! Thanks for rallying us to persevere and making us aware of advocacy steps to take. Also to Pat, best wishes to you as a fellow breast cancer survivor. My dcis was surgically removed December 2020 and radiation treatment completed Spring 2021. My latest MRI 3 months ago shows no worries. Keep the faith, and thanks for keeping us energized !
Pat, I had no idea you were going through this. I'm so glad the tumor is gone! Thank you for your informative work on 'Gentleman Jack'. I don't understand how a very popular series could be cancelled. There's so much crap out there that keeps going to for years. I honestly don't get it. HBO is making a huge mistake!
It's not just HBO, although I understand that GJ has been cancelled because of them, but BBC do this all the time. They have cancelled a lot of popular shows for no reason yet they recommission utter crap all the time. I don't know what's wrong with them. I truly hope Amazon picks this up or maybe one of our (UK) independent channels.
Gentleman Jack is such an excellent, amazing and inspiring show! It saddened me when I heard it was cancelled. I hope it doesn't end like this, there's still more to tell about the extraordinary life of Anne Lister. I know it won't last forever but I wish the end of the series was written by Sally Wainwright with her vision and understanding of Anne's story. No matter what happens, though, I'm grateful and so glad this show existed. Thank you!
I love Sally Wainwright such a down to earth and talented lady absolutely madness not continuing with Gentleman Jack to me its one of the best shows on TV especially over here in Britain and the UK the standard of acting and writing is phenomenal my sister works as a production manager at the BBC hehe so I'll ask her to have a word the next time I go to Yorkshire I want to go to Halifax and see Shipden Hall absolutely love it up there it's my 2nd home my grandad was from Middlesbrough so I have strong links up there and the people are spot on too glad you are feeling better:)xx
Sally and Pat, you are two wonderful women. Thanks for everything. I enjoyed this discussion and the incredible Gentleman Jack series. Some channel like Netflix will pick up season 3, I am hopeful because we lesbians need it. Pat, you are a strong woman and a star and look beautiful in your cap. Thank goodness that your treatments are going well and your tumor has dissolved. I am a breast cancer survivor for 13 years. Sending lots of love and hugs for your continued healing. Love to you Sally, and stay strong and ready for another season.🙏🏾💕🌈
Sally Wainwright is an extraordinary woman and fabulous writer. I watch anything that she's written. GJ is exceptional and the actors really brought life to Anne Lister's story. I can't praise GJ highly enough.
The show changed my life, the community changed my life and Anne changed my life! We will bring a series 3, I know it and we will work tirelessly to get it. Sending love to you all #savegentlemanjack #ALcommunity
Pat, I went through what you're going through 4 years ago and i'm well. You are amazing! Sally is up for anything to get that 3rd series to us. it's the best thing i've seen in years. Love Anne Lister. ❤
Pls keep us fans posted as to where to write a letter. I LOVE THIS SHOW. I thought it was a joke that it was cancelled…just devastating. Women can’t have anything these days…so sad. Let’s fight…thanks to Sally, the cast, and. Pat for doing this.

Good luck Pat and thanks for all your work and thank you to Sally for the amazing GJ. What about setting up a crowdfunder?. The Chosen is funded that way...just an idea..
A series about a young Anne Lister would be appealing to HB Awful - because middle aged lead female characters aren't? F*ck HBO. Suranne Jones is ridiculously hot (as is Sophie Rundle ❤) & a show about a younger version of Anne is - to me - only acceptable as an addition to the GJ universe - not a misogynist and ageist replacement.
Gutted that HBO canceled Gentleman Jack, it seems to they barely marketing this second season so its disingenious for them to say anything about ratings. This show so deserves to at least have one more season.
Thank you both! We gotta save GJ🎩 Could you link the petition in the description of this video or maybe in a pinned comment? It would also be helpful to give us the addresses and email addresses to write letters to, as well as social media hashtags or tags to use
Devastated that GJ has been cancelled! This show changed my life and I consider myself a radical lesbian feminist for over 40 years. The production is exquisite, masterfully acted, costumes divine, writing incredible and the list goes on! There wasn't a weak link on the show. I adore Suranne Jones and Sophie Rundle. Their chemistry was so convincing,I can't stop rewatching both seasons over and over!! Please bring season three to life. The impact of Anne Lister is unparalleled and vital for history or "herstory" to be told. Thank you Sally Wainwright!!
My first thought upon hearing of the execution of GJ was "Excuse me now. I have to go cancel my Amazon Prime." After listening to this conversation I realize that is as bad as doing nothing. Thanks for the inspiration, ladies.
Several comments here in this section (infighting and cussing out HBO, etc.) are not going to get us anywhere. Please be appropriate when you contact these companies.
i don't see anyone mentioning the most likely reason for this series' cancellation - that is, with this recent merger of HBO with Discovery, the CEO of that channel has been put in charge and is slashing the budget for HBO and cancelling HBO series right and left. it will be the downfall of the beloved brand.
Very sad news about the show. I had never heard of Anne Lister until I ran across the show on HBO Max and I think HBO might have their heads up their asses on this one.
Have you any idea of how many fans watch each show, then put clips together with diff sound tracks, & how ma y more watch them… it could be a dozen people using the same clip but putting a different song to it, or they collect funny clips, or cut retakes… our enjoyment doesn’t just stop at watching the finished product each show, each series, it snowballs.. & grows.
HBO at least in US didn't give GJ the proper advertisement, such a shame this great show got cancelled but again what can you expect from HBO. Hopefully another platform picks it up, so we can get season 3 soon!
Estoy triste, terminarla solo con dos temporadas es un golpe bajo para todas las personas que amamos esta serie tan buena, basada en un personaje que dejo tanto, merece mas temporadas, no es justo después de que la audiencia estábamos esperando las siguientes temporadas, hay series que son verdaderamente malas y las dejan, Gentleman Jack es una serie que tiene tanto contenido valioso, no sé con qué criterios lo hacen pero no es justo.
I am composing a letter to HBO MAX CEO, David Zaslav. I heard Pat Esgate say yesterday that we have to get together and discuss the letter sending option; should they all be sent at once, or each person on her/his own? Could someone let me know what is decided? PLEASE. I am in America, and I am feeling cut off. LISTER STRONG
HBO didn't promote the show. I subscribed after GJ2 dropped and had to search for the show. It wasn't prominently displayed when the channel opened. The only time it did was when I didn't finish an episode on my 3rd time watching the series and it displayed under the "Keep Watching" header. So I call bullsh*t on HBO's excuse for cancelling this show. This is about some hetero white men leaning in to the extremist right wing homophobia movement. Every year look carefully at which shows get cancelled. Most are female led or produced, or prominently gay themed vs 1 or 2 token gays on an otherwise white hetero show. Misogyny and homophobia is alive in Hollywood still.
You are spot on with your comments. I was really disappointed in the lack of promotion given to Gentleman Jack by HBO. Changing it to Monday night instead of Sunday, editing out some portions of each episode for no reason and starting the season three weeks after BBC’s premiere. I ended up subscribing to a service that shows British TV & Films, for much less than the monthly subscription cost for HBO, in order to view Gentleman Jack. 🎩
If HBO was extremist right wing homophobes, they would’t have financed GJ in the first place. Please work on improving your analytical skills and avoid jumping to stupid conclusions.
HBO that age 18 to 30 do not watch or have cable. They watch their PHONES. TIC TOC AND INSTAGRAM THE OTHER THINGS. You need to keep putting on shows and movie that LOYAL fans will watch over and over. That would be the 35 to 85 crowd. Make Quality And They will come. If you don't keep loyal fans you will be left with noone.
How can HBO say there’s not enough interest? I thought 40million viewers absorbed each show, a,college was named after Anne Lister, tourists bring finance to the region, the house is swarming with visitors more so than ever before, the books are flying off the shelves, being borrowed, resold, reread, the advertising, the talk show interviews, showing the costume designers & makers. What more do they want to prove it’s a success? If they pull out, & another group pick it up, I hope HBO is ridiculed, for dropping a huge success. Then later, like other period pieces, a feature film could tour the cinemas. It’s endless, I know teens who now want to make studies of them all as part of their exams, & if the plug is pulled & we miss out of the following seasons, they won’t have a definitive conclusion, or comparison to Now! That will be so sad.
There must be a way to salvage this wonderful historic show. Maybe some of the cast would be willing to redirect some of own their payment back into the costs? Or another indi backer can be found? Netflix? (I hope it’s not yet another pay channel) Everyone I know, straight & gay have found something in this woman’s life story that is of interest to them. Maybe they have. It accounted for people like me, who records then watches later. Or those who hold back & binge watch. I’m sure the. Umbers are there, they just want to justify pulling the plug. Nooo..! We are too invested to be let down thus far. It’s like pinching a lolly from a kid who’s been sucking on it for hours.. 😢 every day either the original transcriber or script writer is in the media being interviewed somewhere, the stars have risen so high, they are recognised & noticed by people who had watched programmes with them in in the past.. but only just put a name to them! This is a more serious matter to some of us than who our next prime Minister will be! I know which I’d prefer to save x
The BBC is being bled dry by the current UK government, so doesn’t get a fortune… and it’s not their choice to cancel, it’s HBO and their money grabbing mentality!
HBO really made a big wrong decision to cut the production line of period drama. So far the video contents in discovery channel is very duplicated and boring. My feeling is period drama always warm ppl heart especially in this trouble world right now.
The 3rd will come! The 4th will come etc, how do I know? Well it is a fortune telling! Just give it a bit time. (It can be done by HBO or someone else. This will become a big, big, BIG thing! ❤👍💪🔥)
Hindsight would be useful It was clearly written has a one off. Meet romanced married Knowing it's success it would have been better to put more In-between R
The show Lucifer got picked up by Netflix, so hopefully a different channel will pick it up. HBO sucks. They cancel such a brilliant show - their only show with lesbian characters as the leads - yet keep on shows that are not even close in quality and social impact. The Gilded Age is fine. Mindless entertainment but in reality just a hetero soap opera based in the gilded age. Maybe HBO wants to allocate the GJ money to trans & homophobic "comedians" and wife beater actors like Netflix. This world is going in a very scary direction.
I wish we could have a series on Anne when young. Things start getting a bit depressing with Ann Walker as time goes on. I think the romance of the first series was lacking in the second. The various love interests of a younger Anne Lister would re-energize things on the romance front. Brave lady, Pat. So sorry you missed Halifax. PS. I prefer when you direct, Sally.
I’m sorry the second season was bad. We waited 2 1/2 years for the second season. And it was not good. The banter between the sisters was not there. Honestly I cannot believe she had two And a half years to write this and it was bad
I loved this show, and sad that it was not picked up by HBO for S3. And I understand its impact and glad that it existed as a catalyst. But a full-on campaign to renew it with actual letters? There are an awful lot of much more serious REAL LIFE issues affecting women and LGBTQ+ people all across the world, RIGHT NOW, that need this kind of organized activism. Your letters and tweets and phone calls could actually improve lives, rather than saving a biofic television program. Priorities, people, FFS.
Pat Esgate, you will be utmost in our thoughts, we hope you continue on the road to beating this thing! 💙🤍Gentleman Jack is a massive achievement for everyone involved in bringing the show into being, so you have our unwavering support. Personally, I'm involved in a few communities who are willing to lend their collective voices to support the return of our beloved GJ to a worldwide screen - Diva Magazine - HER Dating App
Please continue to produce a third series ,I came out at age 63 as a Lesbian because of this show.
The B B C made a film year's ago called the secret diaries of miss Anne Lister and it's still on CZcams and DVD also filmed at shibden

Changing it to Monday night instead of Sunday, editing out some portions of each episode for no reason and starting the season three weeks after BBC’s premiere. I ended up subscribing to a service that shows British TV & Films, for much less than the monthly subscription cost for HBO, in order to view Gentleman Jack. 🎩
If HBO was extremist right wing homophobes, they would’t have financed GJ in the first place. Please work on improving your analytical skills and avoid jumping to stupid conclusions.
I canceled my HBO sub because they don't produce GJ anymore.
Anne Lister merece varias películas.
HBO that age 18 to 30 do not watch or have cable. They watch their PHONES. TIC TOC AND INSTAGRAM THE OTHER THINGS. You need to keep putting on shows and movie that LOYAL fans will watch over and over. That would be the 35 to 85 crowd. Make Quality And They will come. If you don't keep loyal fans you will be left with noone.
Lets hope this is picked up by Amazon or BBC. Hope you feel better Pat.
Please see my other comment.
How can HBO say there’s not enough interest? I thought 40million viewers absorbed each show, a,college was named after Anne Lister, tourists bring finance to the region, the house is swarming with visitors more so than ever before, the books are flying off the shelves, being borrowed, resold, reread, the advertising, the talk show interviews, showing the costume designers & makers. What more do they want to prove it’s a success? If they pull out, & another group pick it up, I hope HBO is ridiculed, for dropping a huge success. Then later, like other period pieces, a feature film could tour the cinemas. It’s endless, I know teens who now want to make studies of them all as part of their exams, & if the plug is pulled & we miss out of the following seasons, they won’t have a definitive conclusion, or comparison to Now! That will be so sad.
Ur right! It will be proud back!(Based on fortune telling!) 👏👏👏👏👏👍❤️
Necesito leer los libros, estoy pensando que Ann Walker era celosa.
Someone is going to take Lister's 3rd act and make a fantastic movie out it.
I hope the original cast can be involved.
How about a crowd fund?
HBO Do you really think 18 to 30 are watching LASSO? No they are not. LOYAL Lasso fans are 35 to 85.
There must be a way to salvage this wonderful historic show. Maybe some of the cast would be willing to redirect some of own their payment back into the costs? Or another indi backer can be found? Netflix? (I hope it’s not yet another pay channel) Everyone I know, straight & gay have found something in this woman’s life story that is of interest to them. Maybe they have. It accounted for people like me, who records then watches later. Or those who hold back & binge watch. I’m sure the. Umbers are there, they just want to justify pulling the plug. Nooo..! We are too invested to be let down thus far. It’s like pinching a lolly from a kid who’s been sucking on it for hours.. 😢 every day either the original transcriber or script writer is in the media being interviewed somewhere, the stars have risen so high, they are recognised & noticed by people who had watched programmes with them in in the past.. but only just put a name to them! This is a more serious matter to some of us than who our next prime Minister will be! I know which I’d prefer to save x
If they want/need to save money, how about a GT movie? Periodic GT. specials?
The B B C gets a fortune in license fees in they managed the money wisely they could make and sell their products like they used to
Dot blame the BBC Ron, you know the conservative government are out to get them, they had to make cuts etc
@@carolinethom3022 we are all fed up with them
Need that cash for another baking show. Be fair.
The BBC is being bled dry by the current UK government, so doesn’t get a fortune… and it’s not their choice to cancel, it’s HBO and their money grabbing mentality!
@@ffotograffydd most of us have to pay £160 a year for crap we never watch
I think that gay economy should help renewing GentlemanJack, suporting the production. Gay labels or sponsors
The show needs to go until Anne Lister’s demise. Period!
Please see my other comment.
HBO really made a big wrong decision to cut the production line of period drama. So far the video contents in discovery channel is very duplicated and boring. My feeling is period drama always warm ppl heart especially in this trouble world right now.
The 3rd will come! The 4th will come etc, how do I know? Well it is a fortune telling! Just give it a bit time. (It can be done by HBO or someone else. This will become a big, big, BIG thing! ❤👍💪🔥)
Hindsight would be useful
It was clearly written has a one off. Meet romanced married
Knowing it's success it would have been better to put more In-between

The show Lucifer got picked up by Netflix, so hopefully a different channel will pick it up.
HBO sucks. They cancel such a brilliant show - their only show with lesbian characters as the leads - yet keep on shows that are not even close in quality and social impact.
The Gilded Age is fine. Mindless entertainment but in reality just a hetero soap opera based in the gilded age.
Maybe HBO wants to allocate the GJ money to trans & homophobic "comedians" and wife beater actors like Netflix.
This world is going in a very scary direction.

I wish we could have a series on Anne when young. Things start getting a bit depressing with Ann Walker as time goes on. I think the romance of the first series was lacking in the second. The various love interests of a younger Anne Lister would re-energize things on the romance front. Brave lady, Pat. So sorry you missed Halifax. PS. I prefer when you direct, Sally.
I’m sorry the second season was bad. We waited 2 1/2 years for the second season. And it was not good. The banter between the sisters was not there. Honestly I cannot believe she had two And a half years to write this and it was bad
I loved this show, and sad that it was not picked up by HBO for S3. And I understand its impact and glad that it existed as a catalyst. But a full-on campaign to renew it with actual letters? There are an awful lot of much more serious REAL LIFE issues affecting women and LGBTQ+ people all across the world, RIGHT NOW, that need this kind of organized activism. Your letters and tweets and phone calls could actually improve lives, rather than saving a biofic television program. Priorities, people, FFS.
This season was really bad. She had two And a half years to write this. No wonder why HBO cancel it
Pat Esgate, you will be utmost in our thoughts, we hope you continue on the road to beating this thing! 💙🤍Gentleman Jack is a massive achievement for everyone involved in bringing the show into being, so you have our unwavering support.
Personally, I'm involved in a few communities who are willing to lend their collective voices to support the return of our beloved GJ to a worldwide screen
