1. GENTLEMAN JACK: SURANNE JONES + SALLY WAINWRIGHT + VICTORIAN ENGLAND
Suranne Jones
(Doctor Foster, Save Me, Scott & Bailey) and Sally Wainwright (To Walk Invisible, Last Tango
In Halifax, Happy Valley) are due on set together again to shoot Gentleman Jack, a coproduction BBC/HBO.
Of course, Suranne Jones will lead the cast as the protagonist while Sally
Wainwright will sign the screenplay and will direct the 8-part series.
If you
love good TV drama you should at least be as excited as me. But if, like me, you are also a period drama lover, you should be on seventh heaven since this new series is
set in 1832.
It’s the story of Anne
Lister (Suranne Jones), a remarkable landowner who - after years of exotic
travel and social climbing - returns to Halifax, West Yorkshire, determined to
transform the fate of her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall.
