The BBC has unveiled a first-look clip from Gentleman Jack, exclusively for readers of RadioTimes.com<\/a>, which sees Suranne Jones\u2019 Anne Lister make a bold proposal to her lover Ann Walker (played by Sophie Rundle).<\/p>\n

The acclaimed period drama from Sally Wainwright has been absent from the schedules for a long time, having been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, but fans are thrilled to see that it\u2019s finally just around the corner.<\/p>\n

Gentleman Jack<\/a> follows historical figure Anne Lister, who is recognised by many as the first modern lesbian, as she sets about restoring her uncle\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n

In the process, she crosses paths with Walker and the two embark on a romance that must be handled with the utmost discretion, to avoid the scorn of 19th century elites.<\/p>

In this new clip, Lister pitches a plan to Walker that would allow them to take their relationship forward a step, while safeguarding their privacy. Watch below:<\/p>
