Gentleman Jack with Sally Wainwright, Suranne Jones, and Sophie Rundle.

[@margeferguson8145]

The love story between the two women really does not move forward without Sophie Rundle’s masterfully understated characterization of Ann Walker. I’m looking forward to season 2.

[@bonniehealey4058]

I couldn't have said it better!

[@Patricia-cj6qt]

One of the best interviews about the show -- I just wish it were longer. And I agree with the others that it was terrific to hear Sophie speak in depth about her characterization of Ann Walker. I would love to hear more from her about that. The questions were well thought-out and elicited interesting and intelligent responses.

[@bonniehealey4058]

I agree. I, too wish interviews had more questions like these. They were intelligent and specific and elicited in depth answers to sometimes complicated issues, especially re Ann Walker's mental health, but also for the actors just keeping up with not only the pace of the show, but the multiplicity of emotions in the scenes.

[@alligatortearstns]

What an amazing interview! I always missed Sophie in the interviews about GJ and it's so nice to see interesting questions about her character. She's my hero too. Also so blessed to have this crew working in the second series, it's a success.

[@bonniehealey4058]

Yes, Ann Walker is my heroine, too, because she had so many more obstacles to overcome that Anne Lister either didn't have , or had already found a way to navigate through her life as a lesbian when such language didn't even exist. All extraordinary people on this Gentleman Jack journey from Anne Lister and her diaries to the people who preserved them, the women who wrote about these two women, and the cast and crew who continue to bring them to us!

[@softtailgirl02]

BRAVO!! Here’s to moderator, Mara Webster, for doing such a brilliant interview with Sally, Suranne and Sophie. To ask such detailed and nuanced questions takes someone who, both loves the show, and understands the behind the scenes process. I agree with everyone else who wishes the interview had been longer, because it was so good. I already had great respect for the cast and crew of Gentleman Jack but this interview, as Ann Walker would say, made it “utterly clear to me now,” that this show is totally in the hands of the right people. Lucky us!! 👏🎩👒💕👏

[@bonniehealey4058]

I agree with everything you said. Well done!

[@trish6719]

It’s true what’s not to like about gentle jack it’s brilliantly done, Suzanne Jones should have an Oscar she is amazing as Ann Lister her best role yet ❤️

[@bonniehealey4058]

And who could have done better than Sophie Rundle to have portrayed Ann Walker? NOONE! She is masterful, and should have been nominated for a BAFTA! Am not happy about that!!! Who can I complain to?

[@Void-Realm]

What great questions! I loved the questions for Sophie and her responses. It's rare we really get to see a true and real depiction of mental health, especially including an LGBT theme. I also love seeing how passionate Sally and Suranne are about the show and Anne and Ann. I also love seeing how many people are commenting on Sophie and Ann. I feel Ann is often sidelined when she was also the one to have this marriage. I think it was braver for Ann to do what she did because it was in the face of mental health, internalised homophobia, alienation and huge pushback from her family whereas Anne had a supportive family, had been living a life as a lesbian for a long time by this point and was very sure of who she was.

I know it's early but we can't wait for Gentleman Jack season 3 !!! Also, the first episode of s02 was awesome!

Love them all.. best show on tv right now!🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈🏳‍🌈

[@bonniehealey4058]

You've got that right!

[@saoirsemerrin943]

Loved seeing Sophie in a s2 GJ interview and the questions were so well thought out thank you so much. It was such a great interview. So nice to see they have such good chemistry off screen and love their characters as much as us.

[@deniseirish8592]

Amazing show, love it so much, hope to see Season 3 and more. Really a great show, excellent actors, so sad it is not continuing, at least not for now.

[@kiumachado]

Such a great interview, very good thought out questions, the mediator did an amazing job! Also great so hear Sophie more! I'd love to see more interviews where she takes the front seat.

[@bonniehealey4058]

Yea! We all love Suranne's role as Anne Lister; but to be fair, Sophie is also stellar as Ann Walker. The emotional roller coaster ride she had with her mental health was heart-breaking to watch; and NOONE could have done it better than Sophie. Can't wait for season 2 being available soon in the U.S.

[@debbieverret4033]

GJ is great and the acting superb. Thanks for sharing this

[@sabrinaoliveira5419]

I was so excited while watching! You're amazing 😊 And yes we always missed Sophie in the interviews. This season is just amazing we're LOVING it, congratulations! It's a privilege to watch this serie that Sally wrote so perfectly. And your performance girls 🥰 thank you! We love you ❤️

[@bonniehealey4058]

I agree. I love Sophie too, and think with such a story it's necessary for both women to be interviewed. Of course, there may have been reasons we're unaware of since Sophie was finishing up the final season of Peaky Blinders; but we don't know that.

[@sabrinaoliveira5419]

@@bonniehealey4058 Yeah... And she had given birth as well. Anyway, we're glad she's able to be at the interviews now 😊🥰 So, great questions!! Thank you 😁☺️

[@bonniehealey4058]

@@sabrinaoliveira5419 Yes, the baby is about a year old now. How time flies!

[@downeastxg]

Love the interview, now, where can I buy that GJ cup!? Adore and appreciate the development of Walker, particularly after reading all I could on her at insearchofannwalker. Totally enthralled by who she truly was, and whom she let herself become with Lister. Brave. Rundle plays the depth of this very real and capable woman that was Walker.

[@bonniehealey4058]

You can get tons of Anne Lister, Ann Walker, and Gentleman Jack merchandise on Red Bubble. I wholeheartedly agree with everything you've said.

[@J_Carter]

Truly one of the best interviews I've found on the show. Thank you to the host for asking such smart questions!

[@mayling141]

Thanks for interviewing them. It was a pleasure to listen to their answers and also, what great questions you asked! Kudos! I was happy to hear that Sophie just became a mother. Yey…! Congrats 🥳

[@M4r7s0l]

Thank you so much. I love Gentleman Jack 😍

[@janechoy2073]

Huge fan of the show; fantastic interview!!

[@bigrabbit5617]

If have another season, I really hope Sally be a director again like season one. No one is clear then Sally cos she is a writer, she should have some visual in mind. And direct the cam man etc how to tell the story beautifully. GJ not only a drama, it like a textbook. Let ppl learn how to tell the story using camera.

[@pcgaga]

Wow what a great interview and Mara Webster was absolutely brilliant!! She definitely knows what questions to ask that we as fans want to know, bravo Mara. I hope she does more interviews.

[@crimson5k440]

It truly is amazing how we've evolved yet still remain the same. How in life, nothing has really changed except the clothing we wear. We would've never have known this if it weren't for AL & AW diaries.

[@andreadaerice]

This was a fascinating interview, I loved hearing these details...but Sally needs a better mic!

[@tristanr449]

Mara Webster, the best. A stellar interviewer.

[@Mtnsunshine]

Outstanding interview. 👍 Thank you!

[@lebediekaterina]

Я поражена, насколько серезно, скурпулезно актеры относятся к своей работе. Это колоссальный труд, так точно и деликатно, но соразмерно с современным обществом передать историю событий и отразить главных героев. Самая лучшая и удачная экранизация , на мой взгяд. Сюранна великолепна 😍я почти влюбилась...

[@LailaOliveira]

What an amazing interview, thank you!

[@bigrabbit5617]

Only two seasons? At least 10 season! The storyline is so rich! Also The GJ setup cost is so dear and why HBO not use it wisely to produce more season? HBO please think about it! Cut off the high quality drama cannot save much, customer only feel bad and cut then the annual plan immediately. I am not gay, but I also love GJ. The production quality is amazing. ❤

[@sarahmerkli7929]

Yup. You're right. Just getting into the swing of things.

Suranne is such an amazing actress, because she is nothing like Anne Lister, she is so good. Like another person in real life.

[@cahillesohbetikestim9612]

Suranne and sophie have "i wanna kiss you" energy.

Sophie is gorgeous. N both oh r yummy in the show.

[@bonniehealey4058]

My god she is drop dead, rock the runways stunningly gorgeous, isn't she? I love the new wardrobes she and Suranne have this season. Am still anxiously waiting for Gentleman Jack to come to the U.S.

[@xuantrang2835]

It amazed me to see her as Ada Shelby in Peaky Blinders and now as Ann Walker. What a talented actress.
