    I love how Gray defends sexual rights emotionally and legally. He clearly believes in freedom of choice and finds Sutherlands argument distasteful personally. Then he uses the law to destroy him. Amazing scene.

      @@ronhunt2254 yes but in between there were lots of adventures as well (and several years) in this view, hardly any story should be told to its end because there will always be sadness. and in the end Ann Walker was released from the asylum. And she didn't marry anyone she didn't like, and they did travel far and she did love Anne Lister, and Anne Lister at least was genuinely committed and took care of her even if they fought a lot... and I am sure Ann Walker found some happiness in moments even after.
      People are adaptable, and after low years some simple things can offer lots of joy.
      So I mean in between there were high points, the ventures starting to bring in profits and not just costs, travels that were also to Ann Walkers tastes, for some further years still there seems to have been intimacy, so obviously they had ups as well as downs. And I imagine some of those extremes and how they changed into the other might offer quite a bit of material, especially with some poetic license of interpretation.

      @@ronhunt2254 Sutherland stayed at Shibden for a time w/ Ann Walker and then Ann eventually went back to live at her old estate. Sutherland died before Ann Walker I believe. Shibden was entailed to the Swansea Listers so it eventually went to that part of the Lister family. Ann and Anne had bestowed upon each other a life estate so eventually the properties would go to their respective families. Ann Walker's property went to one of the Sutherland's offspring and he was required to change his name to Walker per instructions in Ann Walker's will.

    "I know the display of too much intellect is highly discouraged amongst the ladies"
    Listening to this line and thinking how powerful and strong women are, never been more proud to be a woman. We were discouraged to think, to write, to paint, to vote, to be great. A lot of constricting and unjust rules are thrown at us, but still we rise above. Makes me wonder what would our world be if people in the past gave equal opportunity to all sexes. I like to think that the world haven't reached the greatness it could have since half of the humanity (women) were not able to enjoy the same support and opportunity that the other half did.

    Well done the BBC for this excellent series. Captain Sutherland is all out to wreck Ann and Anne's lives by a false accusation. The way he falsely states his case of the two Scottish ladies, then sits smugly back on his haunches awaiting shock from the solicitor. The solicitor turns to a similar position basically verbally smacking Captain Sutherland across the face explaining that no sin had been committed more that it was down to someone down to cause gossip. The look left on Capt. Sutherland is of complete dismay as his plan crumbles.
    The first and second series have been a joy to watch, as well as informative. Bring on series 3 to enlighten us all.
