Gentleman Jack - Sally Wainwright, Suranne Jones & Sophie Rundle

Q&A on the series Gentleman Jack with creator & showrunner Sally Wainwright, actor and executive producer Suranne Jones, and actor Sophie Rundle. Moderated by Mara Webster, In Creative Company.

It's 1832 in West Yorkshire, England -- the cradle of the evolving Industrial Revolution -- where landowner Anne Lister is determined to save her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, even if it means bucking society's expectations. In addition to reopening the coal mines, a part of Lister's plan to help her family is to marry well. But the charismatic, single-minded Lister -- who dresses head-to-toe in black and charms her way into high society -- has no intention of marrying a man. "Gentleman Jack" examines Lister's relationships with her family, servants, tenants and industrial rivals, and would-be wife. The real-life Anne Lister's story was recorded in her diaries, and the most intimate details of her life are revealed for the series.
