Gentleman Jack Trailers

I've not yet seen these posted to the community, so in case anyone remains unaware: there's a film based on the life of Anne Lister, early 19th century diarist who left a record of her lesbian affairs, airing on HBO April 22, and on BBC1 at some point in the near future. I'm extraordinarily excited about it, and dearly hope it lives up to its promise.

I am sooo looking forward to this!

I don't know if it's available outside the UK but there's also an earlier BBC take on the story called 'The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister' starring Maxine Peake, which I enjoyed. This new version looks to be rather more of wry comedy though.

Ooh, I think I have a book tie-in from that. I wonder if that might be on Youtube.

Yes! It's on Amazon Prime here is the US. Last I checked there was a version on Youtube, but of pretty unwatchable quality.
