I found this podcast by accident, what a complete joy. It was witty and honest and I I felt like I was one of the girls enjoying a chat with friends. I have broken my ankle in three places and it’s my birthday. I’m stuck in a chair.You cheered me up so much. I’ll definitely look into your other podcasts Sally.

Suranne Jones fearless portrayal of Anne Lister in the series Gentleman Jack was astonishing. It was as if she was a channel for the real Anne Lister to come through after passing two hundred years earlier. It felt like meeting this powerful, erudite, forward thinking woman who lived her life honestly and without shame back in early 1800s. This performance will have a positive influence on all women for generations to come. Bravo!

I absolutely love these two incredibly talented women. I have watched them since Coronation Street. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

How nice is Suranne Jones ,totally different to what I expected because of all the rolls she portrays even more respect to her now as an actor

What a great chat - you can tell what close friends they are!

Look, I adore both these women, two of the best TV dramatic actresses the UK has turned out in the past 50 years. They have managed to legitimise themselves from their soap beginnings to carve out amazing careers but there's one thing I have to say or I'll forever regret it... Sally Lindsay's hair should have its own YouTube channel

Words are inadequate to describe how much I enjoyed this conversation. Thanks so much for posting it on YouTube! I felt as if I was a silent fly on the wall in the room with you. Did you ever think that an American woman in Vermont has followed both your careers since you were on Corrie? I've been watching Corrie since 1976 (!) - on British tv and then eventually on Canadian tv in Vermont. I now watch it on Britbox. I loved both your characters and have watched all the projects that you've both been in that have been available in the U.S. You are both remarkable - brilliant, talented, funny, down-to-earth and true friends. Thanks again for letting folks outside the UK watch this!

What a great interview or chat really.
Speaking of Anne Lister I cant even see Suranne at first anymore......all I see is Anne Lister!
Wish there were more seasons of Gentleman Jack

I like everything Suranne Jones has been in, shes a brilliant actress.

@jujuoliver6959 5 months ago (edited)

That lovely tall model car mechanic played by Matthew Marsden went off to America for a career in Hollywood.
I liked Suranne in Doctor Foster, but she is brilliant in most things she has been in.

@4960-j4p 5 months ago

Dr. Foster was brilliant she is an amazing actress, and i remember her in corrie, her and steve Mcdonald ❤️ 😀

I just love everything Suranne does💜💜💜
I am from the USA and the first time I saw her was during lockdown in a Touch of Cloth. From then on I had to try and find as many things I could to binge watch...which is difficult when you don't have streaming. Then Gentleman being on HBO got me through a few years of caring for my father with Alzhimers😢After watching her in a few more shows, I thought her as the next Meryl Streep (English version)😊 She plays such great characters brilliantly. Can't wait to continue to follow her career 💜💜💜💜

More of Sal & Sar chatting please 🙏
Absolutely love Suranne work, it definitely comes across fresh, when she plays different characters. Would Absolutely love Gentleman Jack series 3.
Looking forward to Vigil 3 & Doctor Foster 3.
Also would love to see where Rachel Bailey is up to now, in a reboot of Scott & Bailey obviously the lovely Lesley Sharp characters, Janet Scott is no longer😢 but I'm sure a niece of Janet could follow in her footsteps of joining the constabulary.
Maybe Sophie Rundle could play Janet's niece.
