BBC TV - 'The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister'

Recently aired on BBC television, 'The Secret Diaries of Anne Lister' is a dramatic adaption of the life of the Yorkshire landowner and industrialist Anne Lister (played by Maxine Peake).  Masculine in her appearance, and known by some as 'Gentlemen Jack', she had various relationships with women and eventually set up home with one of her lovers. Her diary was written in code to protect those she was involved with.

The screenplay was written by Jane English, who wrote several episodes of the popular lesbian series 'Sugar Rush'.
