Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Crisis Amidst Endless Thirst & Grubbles: The Legend of Ann Walker Part I
Explicit content warning
10/14/19 • 184 min
Hey ho! So we’ve actually managed to record an episode that exceeds five hours. Good lord, welp, instead of cutting out any of our drunk and jaunty rambles, we split this #HistoricalNightcap offering into two parts. In this first half, we revisit episode 5 of Gentleman Jack “Let’s Have Another Look at Your Past Perfect” once more, but this time with the invaluable insight of show creator Sally Wainwright. Immediately afterward, in response to a few listener requests, we do a deep dive into Angela Steidele’s book ‘Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist’, where we discuss some of her controversial assertions and surprising revelations.

Gentleman Jack Crack - "Do Ladies Do That?" Part I
In this installment of #GentlemanJackCrack we heap our eternal gratitude in drunken jaunty spades, onto show creator Sally Wainwright and stars Suranne Jones & Sophie Rundle, as we recap the most emotional episode of Gentleman Jack to date. It’s fair to say that like the Ann(e)s, we are in the “dolefuls”. Whilst we edited it out most of the audible sobbing, some sniffles remain as Terrance was completely unprepared for the intensity of their separation. We talk for hours about the Ann(e)s, their faith, their love, and their grubbles with of course lots of gay screaming, on this really sad- but still jaunty, episode of Gentlemen Jack Crack.
Mentioned in this episode, a performance of “Ne Me Quitte Pas” by Lidisi at the Royal Albert Hall to put you in the mood: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-SN7oL6-E
