Suranne Jones has spoken about the impact her latest on-screen role is having.
The 42-year-old plays Anne Lister, the UK’s first ‘modern lesbian’ in BBC’s Gentleman Jack, and according to her, the role has "changed people’s lives." The LGBT+ period drama returned earlier this month for its much-anticipated second season.
The first season, which used Liverpool to transport viewers back to the 19th century with stunning costumes and carriages, ended with Anne marrying Ann Walker, who is played by Sophie Rundle. Season two picks up a month later when the newlyweds prepare to travel abroad for their honeymoon before settling into Shibden Hall together.
