Betsy RubinerGUEST
She was a very unconventional English landowner in northern England.
Betsy RubinerGUEST
Her diaries from the 1800s inspired the 2019 BBC TV historical drama series Gentleman Jack.
Amy HelmsHOST
Yes.
Amy HelmsHOST
I think that was on HBO, too, I think.
Rose KerrCORRESPONDENT
The book was inspired by not seeing many stories that represented her loved ones.
Raymond MarSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Basically was watching a TV series called Gentleman Jack with my partner, and that was a beautiful, fun, queer story based on a, a true character from history.
Raymond MarSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Don't wanna give too many spoilers away.
Rose KerrCORRESPONDENT
[laughs]
Caroline FrostHOST
I mean, Sally Wainwright, who started out on Corrie, She said when it was a few episodes a week and yet more room within those episodes, there was so much more fun to be had.
Caroline FrostHOST
And that's where she learned to write proper human dialogue, which we've since seen in Happy Valley and Gentleman Jack and all the other things that's made her so successful.
Caroline FrostHOST
So I think they're missing a trick for all sorts of reasons.
Caroline FrostHOST
But perhaps it's the way of things that if you go quiet and ordinary and everyday folk, nobody tunes in anymore.
Jen OffordHOST
Foster was a bit of a turning point.
Jen OffordHOST
Although maybe that's probably before Gentleman Jack.
Jen OffordHOST
Is it? I don't know.
Jen OffordHOST
And the
Eileen BeckerHOST
Yeah George Costigan was money man Jack Filby.
Eileen BeckerHOST
He's appeared in Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Line of Duty, Happy Valley, and Gentleman Jack.
Eileen BeckerHOST
He also recently started a podcast with his brother Andy Costigan and Paul Quinn called Welcome to Midsomer.
Eileen BeckerHOST
Oh wait, no.
Alyshia OchseHOST
I hope you were able to go listen to it because I wasn't prepared for how good this conversation was going to be.
Alyshia OchseHOST
Brendan Patrick's British actor, Lambda trained over 20 years across the West End, Downton Abbey, Rivals, Gentleman Jack, Doctor Who, incredible career.
Alyshia OchseHOST
incredible stories and then completely separately a fully practicing member of the magic circle like one of the most prestigious magic organizations in the world the man does close up sleight of hand at a professional level like this is not a hobby this is a second career and I just kept thinking okay I'm That's interesting.
Alyshia OchseHOST
That's fascinating.
CarlyHOST
beautiful the French hoods the Gable
Casta HexGUEST
hoods which are hideous but are period And then Gentleman Jack is incredible.
Casta HexGUEST
The costume designer Tom Pye, I believe, did an incredible job for that.
Casta HexGUEST
Emma, of course, with Anya Taylor-Joy.
21 MINS LATER
Casta HexGUEST
Pro bonnet.
Casta HexGUEST
I'm pro bonnet.
Casta HexGUEST
And things like Gentleman Jack as well have beautiful millinery.
Casta HexGUEST
So I just think we need to be pro-millinery.
Dominic BeresfordGUEST
who was in Coronation Street and she's been in, late year she's been in a series called Happy Valley and she's just off the scale brilliant.
Dominic BeresfordGUEST
Another actor, Saran Jones, who was in another series called Gentleman Jack.
Dominic BeresfordGUEST
set in Halifax yeah I'm pointing over there now all these great TV dramas they're all filmed around this neck of the woods yeah but I'm just trying to think off the top of my head it's like when somebody asks you what your favourite song is your mind just goes blank I would say, again, Paddy Considine, I just think he's brilliant.
Dominic BeresfordGUEST
Stephen Graham.
Paige IvyGUEST
a young adult.
Paige IvyGUEST
It's sort of like Gentleman Jack.
Alyssa Eells and Lauren PaytonHOST
Yeah.
Alyssa Eells and Lauren PaytonHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
I think there are very few female dramatists who are afforded the trust to be able to take that forward.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
That said, she had all just, you know, prior to that, she'd had Gentleman Jack cancelled.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
which was a very popular show internationally.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
It was an HBO-BBC co-production.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
I think the economics of this are all critical because, of course, what's happened in terrestrial television, in the great game change that the streamers have brought about, is that it's no longer possible really to have... sufficient money for any of the public service broadcasters to make their own classy drama.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
So they need to go to co-production.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
They went to co-production with Gentleman Jack with HBO and after two seasons, two very successful seasons, they pulled the plug on that.
Joanna ScanlanGUEST
So I think that was one of the reasons perhaps that Sally was particularly enraged.
