Celebrating Gentleman Jack: Changing Lives

Thu, 23 February 2023, 15:30 – 19:00 GMT

Celebrating Gentleman Jack: Changing Lives is co-hosted by the Royal Television Society and Film and Media at York St John University. It celebrates diversity on screen and LGBTQ+ representation.

There will be a screening of the BBC documentary ‘Gentleman Jack Changed My Life’ followed by a Q&A with some of the cast members and show developers. The panel will then be joined by advocates involved in the Save Gentleman Jack Campaign who have since July 2022 organised a range of events to help maintain the continuing influence of Gentleman Jack as an important media and TV event, and Anne Lister as a relevant and valuable cultural figure. Their aim is to help bring Gentleman Jack back to our TV screens and to finish the story.

This event is free and open for all to attend.

If you wish to join us online, you do not need to book a ticket. The Q&A portion of the event will be livestreamed via Zoom. Join at 4.45pm by clicking here

This event is a part of York St John University’s series of events to mark LGBTQ+ Month.
