- A Q&A with creator & showrunner Sally Wainwright and actress Suranne Jones.
Moderated by Mara Webster, SAG-AFTRA Foundation Program Manager
From Sally Wainwright, this series tells a remarkable and unlikely love story, set in the complex, changing world of 1832 Halifax, the cradle of the industrial revolution, just as it begins. Starring Suranne Jones, it focuses on landowner Anne Lister and her determination to change the fate of Shibden Hall, her faded ancestral home, by re-opening the coal mines and marrying well. The charismatic, single-minded, swashbuckling Lister - who dresses head-to-toe in black and charms her way into high society - has no intention of marrying a man. True to her nature, she plans to marry a seriously wealthy woman, heiress Ann Walker. Every part of the story is based in historical fact, recorded in the four million words of the real-life Anne Lister’s diaries, which contain the most intimate details of her life, once hidden in a secret code that is now broken. Creator/writer/director Sally Wainwright executive produces along with Faith Penhale and Piers Wenger. Produced by Lookout Point for BBC One, and co-produced with HBO. - Zábava
"That's my girl" excuse me whilst I go and scream into the void. MY HEART.
I’m in love with Suranne Jones. 😍
It is great that you two had so much passion for the real story of Anne Lister. I think it shows in all the details in the series. It is just awesome. The acting of Suranne Jones is amazing too.
And Sophie too--brilliant acting.
Suranne Jones is an amaing actor. I find it hard to believe she is anyone else but Anne Lister, so watching her in this interview being her normal self is a revalaton of how hard she must have worked to become the character.
As a lover of history of all things about the British Isles and also of costuming and architecture, I was fascinated by images I had found years ago of Shibden Hall, but never could find much information about it, so when I found Gentleman Jack, I almost cried. I also consumed all of the excellent BBC presentations of costume dramas since I was 17 and at my age now of 71, I am grateful to everyone involved in this series. I cannot get enough of it and because I probably will not get back to the UK to actually visit this amazing place, (I am in North Carolina), the show has filled a gap for me so beautifully. The series should be continued. Thanks so much! 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏
That's really sweet and so nature when SR said "that's my girl" at 28:14
Yes, we will be wanting a 2nd season of Gentleman Jack!
I'm having to go back and watch episodes of this show multiple times and still catching things I missed. The writing! And the acting! Just superb. I'm obsessed with this show!
Sherry Forest, yes me too...its at such a fast pace l need to go back and digest it thoroughly. To miss a nuance would mean l'd lost vital info! 😁
Same, I've watched it all the way through probably 5 times already.
Im obsessed with it too...Ive never liked the 1830s before but now I'm mad about the clothes and even the weird apollo's knot hair.
A great series. Wonderfully written. The acting is superb. Miss jones is breathtaking as Anne Lister. Brilliant. I enjoy it immensely. Thank u.
I LOVE this program! I’m in the USA and can’t wait to see the 2nd season and will be sure to buy it when it comes out in CD’s! I watched season 1 four times already and always see and hear something new each time. Suranne Jones was AMAZING in Doctor Foster as well. I’ve fallen in LOVE with British dramas and BBC series. THANK YOU all your fantastic works our dear neighbor across the Pond! USA LOVES YOU!!
I am a huge fan of Suranne Jones. Loved her in Scott and Bailey.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this show. There is so much there you really do have to watch it many times. I love the funny little details like how Lister bounds out of the coach and the door crashes into her groom. A small detail, very subtle but it is brilliant. Also, the way she treats Marion, her sister, patting her head after she arrives home from Denmark. Her relationship with her Aunt Anne is very touching. I could watch the ending on the cliff by the mine with Walker a million times. It is so real. Suranne really plays every emotion in it. Can't wait for season 2.
Suranne Jones is amazing! 🥰❤️
Omg loveddddddd it. Watching it again! I heard it got renewed for a second season. Can’t wait to see lister and walkers adventures abroad. Such an amazing woman! And Suranne is stellar in her acting
im a big fan and i just learned that Suranne was involved as assoc producer of the series and now that i think back on the episodes this gave a wonderful depth and fullness to the character something inexplicable and comprehensive about her character knowing the world she was playing and living in and it all somehow came out deeply on camera as a true engagement with the moments of the film, it just felt better and realer and different than other shows, somehow having the main character involved with the overarching world of the series all the characters felt like they inhabited a world that was holistic .... its hard to put into words, love the series ... keep up the good work,
also i have personally shown the trailer to dozens of people young people in their 20s who may not have otherwise known about the film as a way to inspire them to live and be more alive and active and risk taking in thier own lives
I truly adored Gentleman Jack. From start to finish, I simply couldn't get enough. Suranne Jones was absolutely incredible, a world beating performance throughout. The production, writing and cinematography were of the highest order. Thankyou so much Mrs Wainwright.
Loved the frist episode. I was going to wait until it had all aired so I could binge the whole thing. But I couldn't wait. Anne Lister was remarkable and Suranne is brilliant in the role.
Great interview. For years I have seen the name Sally Wainwright attached to some of my favorite television productions. The details in the show are amazing . I can't wait for the book to arrive so that I can start reading it. I do hope that it will eventually make its way to PBS so that more women who can't afford HBO can see it. Congrats on a smash hit!
Great show ladies. Watched first episode three times and can’t wait for episode 2. Didn’t want to miss a word. What a fascinating character. Love the humor. Hope it’s picked up for second season
Excellent,enjoyed every second.
what an amazing series!!!
A huge thank you for bringing Anne's life to life ! also Halifax, Yorkshire, women, and gay women
I’m eternally grateful for every bit of efforts the cast and writers and crew have poured into making the show. Truly a masterpiece.
This is a truly inspirational piece of work on every level. Thank you Anne Lister for your legacy.
I love this show so much, Gentlemen Jack is such a great role model for all women. Don't let society box you in, and be yourself.
True😍
I am in love with Anne Lister as a person and I would love to have been in the room with Sally to read her diaries. Amazing writing , Wonderfully acted and a brilliantly made series. Can't wait for the second series and will have to now fill the gap with every book on the planet about this amazing woman!
Thank you, eye opener interview. Incredible how Ann Listers diary has come to the surface for us to learn from. I enjoyed the first season really is a magical series. Suranne Jones is wonderful actress, loved ✨💖 her as the Tardis, The Doctors Wife, with Matt Smith, totally rocking the roll! Excellent choice for the roll of Anne Lister ~ can’t wait to read the books. I’m not lesbian. I feel it’s important for our world to come to terms that we are unique and beautiful beings no matter how we choose to live our lives. ✨🥰🙏🏻💜✨
I absolutely love this series!
Fantastic series!
EXCELLENT Throughout a truly lovely drama well-presented well acted by each and every one of them
At the conclusion of Gentleman Jack Series 2, I had the feelng I had only really started to understand Miss Lister. The acting and production has been brilliant from the beginning, it is rare that a tv series is so finely crafted - the only disappointment is that it is over! A series 3 would be so much appreciated as there is much more tell about this fascinating woman and her world.
Super talented women. Love Sally’s work and can’t wait to see this.
Yes! Many more seasons please! Don't leave us hanging in midair.
Didn't know who she was until this series thanks guys!
Both of them are brilliant.The series is brilliant.Every detail has been given attention.I watch most episodes twice,to be ready for the next one,since there are so many subplots.Completely amazing
Every time a new episode comes out I rewatch every single episode before watching the new to make sure I haven’t missed anything. It’s just that good ❤️👍🏼
This was such an interesting interview! I love the show so far. Thanks for uploading!
Sally was very, very inspired when she chose the suranne and everyone else for this series, a very good professional, ein grosser Lob, Bravo!
Love the show!
Amazing film! Great, interesting actors, looking forward for the new series 😍
thank you for doing and then uploading this interview! really loved the first episode and it's great to hear about the behind-the-scenes stuff!
Great interview; well done show.
14:45 Romaine Brooks was born later than Anne Lister, in the 1870's. There's an iconic self portrait of her, done in 1923, sporting a moderately low top hat. Honorable mention goes to the famous movie scene(s) of Marlene Dietrich in top hat and tails, albeit in the 20th century too.
Really liked this interview. Loved to find more behind the scenes to learn more about the artistic talent both Sally Wainwright and Suranne Jones clearly have. Cancelling my HBO subscription if they don't take this for a second season! Need to see more of this series!
Sally reminds me so much of the way my daughter writes It comes out of life’s lessons This story is fabulous and you have all done a amazing job Thank You for your experience as it’s a marvelous story
Oh God,Amazing show and cast.
Anne Lister was a pioneering mountaineer. She was the first Brit of either sex to climb the highest peak of the Pyrennes. I believe after marrying Ann they travelled extensively. Now there is a story worth exploring more. I think there is more to Anne Lister to be discovered beyond any series.
I have been an avid viewer since the first day of the first episode. I am fascinated! I tell everyone who fancies the genre about the show and share the overview. Perhaps consider watching with closed captioning engaged; so very many bits of history, knowledge, and wonderful dialogue. The acting by the lead is superb. Thank all for bringing quality content to television.
AMAZING work, really cleaver series, brilliant acting, scenery, script, fair to her history, all production is bringing history back!
Now, we will be wanting a 3nd season of Gentleman Jack! Yes!!!!!!! ;)
Absolute Masterpiece !!!! In love with Suranne!!
Suranne Jones made this programme, although all aspects were great. A classic.
Lovvvvvvve this series! Huge FAN
Love when Lister looks straight into the camera, brilliant
I discovered that Anne Lister diaries are online as images, a pic of each page is available so I was really excited to actually read some of them and to decode at least one page sadly her writting is so complicated to understand that I couldnt even began. Also Ive always hear that people with bad hand writting are really smart and they have bad writting because their brains thinks much faster that their hands can write if thats the case Anne Lister must have been brillant!!!
Cette série est tout simplement génial.
It’s brilliant!
Ah, now I understand the watch reference
LOVE this
i have to say love this actor, i do note that if you dont look at gentleman jack and listen i have to say she sounds like victoria wood , in a good way
Who’s watching this in 2021?🙋🏽♀️💖
Bte
..i want a top.hat now
Cuando las entrevista, en español .
I enjoyed the fact that the sex scenes weren't vulguar decent for once.
hahaha yeah 5 more seasons please, ,... i knew this was a possible untold true story , women were only good for marriage , one wrong word and posh society would shun them, no wonder some of them were lonley and being gay ,..theen .... no wonder she wrote in code
bloody good job she did
She is perfect...as all of them are on this show...casting is perfect..camera ml work fabulous music and settings appeals to all...from 1 year old to 80...me...and tho i was sure this was going to be shove it down your throat pc.CRAP IT IS NOT AT ALL...even lgbtq supposedly .arch enemies
..those who.are heavy testosterone males liked it...tho they always roll their eyes if it has a bunch of women in ball gowns..this REALLY HOLDS THEIR ATTENTION TOO...AND MINE..IM SURPRISED....ON SLL LEVELS.
Maxine Peake nailed that role.
THIS is not about Maxine Peake. This is about Suranne Jones and the current staff and writers. IMO this one is a lot deeper and more nuanced than the film. They didn't shy away from her many different sides, her arrogance etc. It's a lot less just "nice". Sally Wainwright put half of her life into this. It's her big dream. Naturally this is a lot more nuanced and deep and intense because of that.
Sally, put your hand down...enough already!
One would hope that one of the women is a good storyteller to entice your curiosity based on their profession and get you more involved. I was bored during this interview, I’m not giving up will watch the show anyway.
