#SaveGentlemanJack: People worldwide heading to Yorkshire to take part in flash mob

The stars and creator behind the popular BBC period drama Gentleman Jack have backed a #SaveGentlemanJack global flashmob happening in Yorkshire.

Writer Sally Wainwright, Suranne Jones who plays Yorkshire’s Anne Lister aka Gentleman Jack classed as the “first modern lesbian” and her partner Ann Walker, played by Sophie Rundle have all sent messages of support to the Leeds superfan behind the flashmob.

32-year-old dance teacher Helen Hawkins who classes herself as pansexual said:

“This show has changed people’s lives, saved people's lives and it has helped people find themselves as a person.
“To call it a TV show demeans it, it gives people a voice to people who don’t have a voice.
“The fact Anne Lister could be a Lesbian and so comfortable over 200 years ago and is now so visible has helped so many people find themselves.”
