Gentleman Jack

Post by Horus »

Another good series from the BBC called 'Gentleman Jack' started tonight on BBC 1 at 9 pm and if you missed it no doubt I-Player will have it on, or if your like me you may wait a few episodes then have a binge session. :lol:
It looks like another very good period drama set in Yorkshire with a very good 'Oop North' feel to it, so Grandad will enjoy it. A bit unusual as the leading character is obviously a lesbian, but it looks as if that is being treated lightly on the sexual front and allows the main character to be tough in what was then a mans world. Her plans so far are to get married (to a woman) but be a tough cookie running her estate, she shows two sides to her nature, a soft side and a hard headed one, looks like it may be a good series and worth a look.

@Horus
I watched episode one tonight H and agree with you. It has the makings of a compelling series. Always liked Suranne Jones from her Coronation street days and from the start, she is giving a sterling performance in Gentleman Jack. :up

My wife shares your view RS. She didn't watch Victoria and could not be bothered with Gentleman Jack. I watch them avidly. 😊

I love watching anything with period costumes and historic locations, the series Versailles was a good example
