[Georgiesmum]

Is anyone else still watching Gentleman Jack? Just a reminder that the final episode is on this Sunday, BBC1 at 9pm.x

I'm afraid I've given up on it. I loved the first few episodes, but it has been dragged out beyond its natural span. 6 episodes would have been enough. I had a great interest in that I lived in Halifax and know Shibden Hall and its history pretty well....Ann Lister was well known. As it happens, I was just getting back into teaching after having my children and I did a spell teaching at the then girl's grammar school (Princess Mary's). Another teacher was the lady who deciphered the diaries. She was at the stage where she had just done this and was trying to interest a publisher in her work. I'm sorry I can't remember her name, but we had some interesting chats over a cuppa at break. It was also interesting for me because of knowing the locality. 'Crow's Nest' was bought by Sir Titus Salt and I was born and lived at Baildon just above Saltaire. Even with that, the series was stretched too far for me - but it is a tour de force for Suranne Jones.

Well I'm loving it and will be sorry when it ends.

I read somewhere that there will be another series.
I hope so. Have enjoyed it.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes, it’s lost some of its original pace and excitement. I’ll still watch the last one tho.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, it will be interesting to see how it ends up.

Mrs sqad enjoys it, but says that I would't like it as it is about Lesbians.
Mrs sqad is correct....i wouldn't.

[woofgang]

Sqad, like all the best drama and literature, its about people. There are gay characters and straight ones, good ones and bad ones. Yes the leading character is gay but she is also kind, intelligent, progressive, strong, vulnerable.....

[Sqad]

and a Lesbian. ^^^^^

[maggiebee]

Yes sqad, just like thousands of others.
