Gentleman Jack.

9.00pm BBC1. Did anybody watch it?

I did - I loved it. That's my Sunday night viewing taken care of.

Re: Gentleman Jack.

Yes, I watched it and I loved it!

I thought it was extremely well done.

Plus, I don't usually like modern music backing period dramas, but I thought the choice they made for this was spot on!


And another seven episodes to look forward to! Yum!

Re: Gentleman Jack.

It's a true story taken from the diary of Ann Lister found hidden in the walls of Shibden Hall I hope the writer Sally Wainright sticks to the facts...I think she will she is after all a local lass I loved it...can't wait for the next episode.

Incidentally I was at a wedding at Shibden Hall recently....it's not overly big or grand at all.... it's open th the public for a small entrance fee .

Re: Gentleman Jack.

It doesn't appeal to me at all.
I'd decided not to watch it.
I'll follow this thread with interest...

There was very little in the way of sexual activity, only one very short scene and nothing graphic. Of course, that might change in other episodes!

What it was, though, was a very well-constructed depiction of a strong and confident woman, who, despite the enormous social constraints of the time, was doing her own thing, and not taking any nonsense from anybody.

It was great watching her stride about in her long greatcoat and top hat!
In fact, despite me being straight, I might easily have fallen in love!

Not to late to change your mind Ruthio.

Why don't you watch a bit of it on 'Catch up' & see what you think?

You might change your mind.

Re: Gentleman Jack.

I watched it but can't say I was riveted,still I'll give it another look next week...Suranne Jones was a perfect choice for the part though.

I would quite like to stride about in that greatcoat myself !
