BBC's Gentleman Jack series 2: Full cast and when it will be on TV

Created by Sally Wainwright, the series follows landowner and industrialist Anne Lister (played by Jones) in 1830s Yorkshire and is based off her collected diaries.

Largely written in secret code, they document a lifetime of lesbian relationships, one of which was seen in series one as Anne Lister and Ann Walker (Sophie Rundle) fell in love.

For a synopsis of series two the Radio Times wrote: "A month on from their private marriage ceremony, Anne and Ann consider moving in together at Shibden Hall - a prospect that horrifies Ann's protective family, even if they are not quite sure what it is they disapprove of.
