Just wanna make a shout out to the host, he is really a good interviewer! It's very rare to see this kind of a gem. The way he asked and transitioned to the next question is very smooth. This is a host that did his own research or even watch the show (Gentleman Jack) just because he's going to interview a cast from it, it is a refreshing thought to see a host who does not rely on the keynotes that their producers handed to them. KUDOS to this guy! And of course, how could I not give praises to Sophie Rundle. What a MAGNIFICENT actress! Her portrayal of Ann Walker is such AWE that I can't find words to describe how amazing she is. I can see award season calling her name, they better be!
I have never in my entire life researched a show, and the characters, including the actors involved, more than I have this one. In fact, I've never researched one before, period! This show is so remarkable! I am obsessed with the story, with the acting...and I have completely fallen in love with Sophie Rundle. OMG. She is divine!
Loved how enthusiastic Sophie is. Amazing that she is now working on her own production company as well! Go for it, girl! Great interview. This nice young gentleman knows what to ask and he is just so refreshing to see someone doing this with a fresh and honest approach. Congratulations!
This New Yorker agrees with you. Media is changing so quickly now. The idea that one must move to Los Angeles to "make it" isn't true any longer. And she has a very valid point about being at the top of the game in England vs being just another beautiful face in LA.
Perfection as Walker. Loved the two final scenes when Walker & Lister meet at the coal pit. Rundle's face glowed in the outdoor scene; the dialog between the two characters/actors was amazingly real, lovely, perfection right into their kisses. The chapel scene was heart-rending and joyful. All very believable. Wainwright is amazing with her real visions of how it really goes and should go. She and the actors gave me a gift in their skills. More... Season 2.
I love Sophie’s work in Gentleman Jack, it made me look for more of her work. She’s brilliant in Jamestown too. What a Clever, Talented, and Beautiful young lady. It’s a delight to see her shows here in the States, This coming from a Texan of all people. Lol
Holy Shit! I never put it together that she was the same actress from several other series I really liked. Bodyguard, Jamestown, Happy Valley and Peaky Blinders! Wow! Completely different characters! great actress for sure!
Great interview with Sophie Rundle, she is amazing. Loved what she had to say about her career and Gentleman Jack. She definitely needs more recognition as well as an actress like Suranne Jones, I believe so. Cannot wait to see what else she will be in
Hi. In your description section of the video, you list the title as "The Gentleman", but it's actually "Gentleman Jack". Please fix your description. Thanks for the interview!
The video is played so smooth that Sophie’s and the host’s movements feel unnatural. Pursuing higher FPS doesn’t always seem to be the wisest choice for editing a video.
Some people have started saying that because some straight actresses were really super off the mark. For straight people, they don't know we are nothing like that but us lesbians are rolling our eyes at some performances where the actresses obviously have no idea what it's like be a lesbian. Being a lesbian is not just loving women, it influences everything about you. Your interests, the way you carry yourself, the dynamic you have with people, the way you dress. That's why we talk about gaydar. Gaydar is really just knowing how to spot signals that a lot of us carry in the community. In the case of Gentleman Jack, I don't know about Sophie, but having watched every interview of Suranne about this show, I can tell you she's the most well informed straight actress I've ever seen. It's incredible. She knows the whole lingo, she's a great advocate, she takes the time to educate others about the LGBT community. She's the perfect example every straight actress should look up to. I think she did a deep dive into the community to know how much she knows and when it comes down to it that's what separates great straight actresses who play lesbians from not so great ones. As I said, being a lesbian is not just loving women so you have to get to know the community to play one faithfully. I feel like it's rare that there's this level of research and that most straight actresses, with good intentions, stop at "we're all human, it's not that different from loving a man". Like, yes, it's nice that you want to be tolerant and consider us as equals and whatnot but... in reality, this is erasing our differences. We are different. It's just that one isn't better than the other.
An alias surely that’s down to casting and direction? An actress who isn’t good at playing a lesbian shouldn’t get the job that’s why they have chemistry tests. I think we need more lgbt creators, directors, camera crew, so that the actor/actress is told how to play it if they need help 🤷🏻♀️
I think this just goes with everything though, like who cares what the actors sexuality, beliefs, personalities etc are, it's acting. As long as they look and play the part who cares?
An alias has some very good points but in addition to that I think this demand stems from the demand that only trans actors should play trans roles. Which I totally agree with because for trans actors and actresses it's hard getting roles that aren't trans, especially for those who started their transition after puberty. So it's really shitty to give a trans role to a cis actor when there is a trans actor who could've played the part - and most likely better than the cis actor. Because being trans is not just about putting on clothes of "the other gender" and take another name. It is so much more that cis people (myself included) just cannot fathom and deliver. As for lesbian and gay actors it's becoming easier to get jobs I think, at least when they already had a career before coming out. So if a straight actress can play a lesbian convincingly (like Suranne for example, she is just marvelous) that's fine by me but some really don't get it and that's really annoying and frustrating to watch. I don't know if Sophie Rundle could've pulled of playing a convincing Anne Lister (I haven't seen her other work) but she is definitely great as Ann Walker, in portraying that inner struggle. So I am happy with the cast in Gentleman Jack and wouldn't want it any other way.
It probably sounds strange, but I'm a lesbian myself and I agree, that it's a very strange idea. I think it's just a problem of good vs. bad acting, directing and researching. Having a certain profession, like being in the army, for example, also has a huge impact on one's whole life, but that surely doesn't mean that only people who'd been in the military can play soldiers in the films. The whole idea of acting is about pretending to be someone else - a totaly different person with their own story and life experiences. Sometimes men play women and women play men, especially in the theatre, but who cares, if they are good at what they're doing? And yes, should gay actors only play gay characters then? I understand that we can draw a parallel with race here, but that would be false since someone's private life is just that - private, it's not written on the actors face, so it doesn't affect the audience's impression in a straightforward way that race does. If you see the actor for a first time, you can only tell how good they are at their acting - not what their sexuality in the real life is.
Susie Purvis You’re right but she would have known that people watching her interview are likely to be watching the show and discovering the history through that... but yes it’s history
She was by no means OPENLY gay - have you read anything girl? Ok later she contradicts herself saying they had to be so secretive. Like hello? Ugh, actors are dumb sometimes.
Openly with those close to her and people kinda just knew of rumors and assumed them to be true because of how she dressed as well so it was like openly but not purposely
'The secret diary of Anne lister' was very much a golden kick start to dramatising Anne lister's love life in the early days, however in a one off one hour episode doesn't truly depict the entire plight, progress and triumph that Miss Lister went through as well as the extent on being a entrepreneur and traveller as well as a diarist. Gentlemen Jack covers these areas and so much more, I promise you! Watch the entire series :)
"This should be a benchmark for how to tell a woman's story" - Sophie Rundle. Absolutely agree.
I agree! i had to say it: I aggreeeeee!.
She said they did chemistry reads then 3 min later she's asked if they did. Did you bloody well listen? Too busy looking at the camera...tacky imo ✌
The interviewer is lovely, he's very good at just asking very prompting questions and letting his guest take the floor
She has her own production company? That's so awesome! She's really good playing Ann Walker,that fragility. Not over-the-top, just nice.
This guy is one of the best interviewers I have seen in such a long time.
The funny thing is he was a cast member of a reality show in the uk called made in Chelsea lol
agreed - was just thinking the same...refreshing
Just wanna make a shout out to the host, he is really a good interviewer! It's very rare to see this kind of a gem. The way he asked and transitioned to the next question is very smooth. This is a host that did his own research or even watch the show (Gentleman Jack) just because he's going to interview a cast from it, it is a refreshing thought to see a host who does not rely on the keynotes that their producers handed to them.

May Ling well said! I thought the host was great!
Yes!
@@annevergette-hollingworth2516 - Thanks :-)
Well said, agree!
Completely agree!
Outstanding interviewer. Made the guest the focus and not himself.
Came for Sophie, stayed for the interview. This guy knows how to transit from question to question.
I have never in my entire life researched a show, and the characters, including the actors involved, more than I have this one. In fact, I've never researched one before, period! This show is so remarkable! I am obsessed with the story, with the acting...and I have completely fallen in love with Sophie Rundle. OMG. She is divine!
She's lovely and a wonderful actor.
“I just want snacks” 👌
We could start a cult off that one line. 😂
11:50 “Read the bible a thousand times and cry.” Oh lord the reminders of episode 6 hit me hard 😞😞
AAAAAA STOOPPP
That was so hard to watch.
From Gentleman Jack or Bodyguard?
Loved how enthusiastic Sophie is. Amazing that she is now working on her own production company as well! Go for it, girl!
Great interview. This nice young gentleman knows what to ask and he is just so refreshing to see someone doing this with a fresh and honest approach. Congratulations!
She's just adorable, someone whom you just wanna cuddle up with, and watch a comedy movie.
An interview about the show and characters instead of actors private lives. So interesting. Thanks for posting.
This interviewer is great! He even knows about the Bechdel test....And Sophie Rundle is a joy!
What a super nice, genuine enthusiastic interviewer! He asked everything I wanted to know and was so cool while doing it. Thanks!!
Bless you, Sophie... Stay in the UK, Love!!!
Most of the best shows I've seen so far the past years are from the UK.
This New Yorker agrees with you. Media is changing so quickly now. The idea that one must move to Los Angeles to "make it" isn't true any longer.
And she has a very valid point about being at the top of the game in England vs being just another beautiful face in LA.
Yeah I love shows from the UK really.
What a wonderful show and what a wonderful interview. Sophie is beyond lovely.
Wow an host that lets the guest speak. Well done..
A lil bit in love with her
She is so lovely and plays Ann Walker perfectly. Extremely talented!
Perfection as Walker. Loved the two final scenes when Walker & Lister meet at the coal pit. Rundle's face glowed in the outdoor scene; the dialog between the two characters/actors was amazingly real, lovely, perfection right into their kisses. The chapel scene was heart-rending and joyful.

You should watch The Bletchley Circle, the first installment was best.
GOD i am swooning over this woman
I really like the interviewer. Great video
He seemed genuinely interested in Gentleman Jack
Holy Shit! I never put it together that she was the same actress from several other series I really liked. Bodyguard, Jamestown, Happy Valley and Peaky Blinders! Wow! Completely different characters! great actress for sure!
also: Bletchley Circle, which I loved!!
Which character is she in happy valley? I'm just starting to watch it
Great interview with Sophie Rundle, she is amazing. Loved what she had to say about her career and Gentleman Jack. She definitely needs more recognition as well as an actress like Suranne Jones, I believe so. Cannot wait to see what else she will be in
Sophie is delightful
Very talented and incredibly intelligent as well
Love Sophie Rundle! What a brilliant actress, and human being... These women, lesbian or not in life, did an amazing job with this series! Bravo!
She is a good actress, clever, humble and sooo sweet!
I cannot wait to her future works
This guy is a great interviewer. He asks about 10 words per question - he actually asks questions in context to what she said. This is brilliant!
Sophie, like Suranne, effortlessly charming. Is it something in the water over there in the UK?? 🥰
Super couple, amazing chemistry, subtle feelings.Charming personality and brilliant actress Sophie
Everything about "Gentleman Jack" is superb--the acting, costumes, editing, screen writing, backdrop--everything.
Amazing drama! Like music, casting, colour, lighting etc. BBC please make gentleman jack season 3 back!
Another wonderful contributor to the greatest TV dramas in the world coming from the UK.
Was shocked to see Sam from made in Chelsea’s as interviewer but wow was it a good choice he was brilliant.
this guy is such an expert interviewer. love the way he asks questions and the flow he has in conversing with sophie
Great show,amazing acting. I could listen to Sophie talk all day.
He obviously has a little crush on her!!! Move over buddy.......we are all crushing on her right now!!
She is so gorgeous!! Sophie is powerful!
Ithimk shes one of the only women on tv to not wear make up she is so pretty naturally
Obsessed with this show 😍
She was a amazing as Anne Walker in her own way. Very nuanced performance.

I am so in love 😍
she is a talented woman,,thank you,,;),,
소피 런들 참 매력적임. 목소리톤이 높고 밝은데 연기자는 연기자일세. 쉐런 존슨도 그렇고. 젠틀맨 잭에서 두 분 연기가 다했어~!!
I love my queen so much
Totally love her
Gay people don’t have to play gay parts. Good actors shine out
British chat shows talk so fast!
intelligence questions by the host. research done perfectly. welldone.
Super interview but please get a smaller mic. It is difficult to watch someone speaking with a third of their face blocked out!
Wow, a talented sweetheart.
Sophie is very pretty
Preciosa esta actriz.
Super interview but couldn’t they do better with the mics other than these massive handheld toaster sized things?
Marya Swell watch the vma-mtv award show and people are complaining how small and short the microphone is.
Lol
You forgot to say good chap .. fanx Sophie .. spellbound tick tock haha
Grt interview!
Wow wonderful
Who's the interviewer? Excellent.
13:20 Miss Rundle You've got to stop having such a poor opinion of yourself
Ha :)
Andrea Boekhout 😪 where’s season 2
En Español por favor la entrevista....🙏🙏🙏
Hi. In your description section of the video, you list the title as "The Gentleman", but it's actually "Gentleman Jack". Please fix your description. Thanks for the interview!
She reminds me of Rachel Shelley.
Linda!!!
Ada Shelby is so pretty! Wanna marry her Sophie Rundle!
God she's cute 😍
Why does the next building appear to be going up and down ?
Because of the camera movement in the wider shots.
The video is played so smooth that Sophie’s and the host’s movements feel unnatural. Pursuing higher FPS doesn’t always seem to be the wisest choice for editing a video.
only lesbian actors should play lesbian parts? who comes up with this nonsense? does this mean lesbians can't play straight? ffs, it's called ACTING!

Love the show...but You know;P we saw just 4 episodes now- and this interviev is full of spoilers ;D :D
You can't really call it spoilers when it's based on fact and history and the story of Anne&Ann has been out there for years.
Uk guys are Hot
Non;
only gay actors should play gay
so only straight actors should play straight?
SPOILERS :'(

Live with a woman openly, that’s what she meant
It's not a new story! Maxine Peake was a brilliant Anne Lister. These two actors are too thin and far too hetty.
'The secret diary of Anne lister' was very much a golden kick start to dramatising Anne lister's love life in the early days, however in a one off one hour episode doesn't truly depict the entire plight, progress and triumph that Miss Lister went through as well as the extent on being a entrepreneur and traveller as well as a diarist.

I love my queen so much
