Gentleman Jack.

Why did the pigs not eat the farmer before he was dead?

Perhaps the smell of blood was needed.....

We were watching a pig family in the countryside a while back. The huge daddy pig would definitely have eaten us if he could have got out!

Because he was tied up outside the pig pen, Alexa.

Grannylyn65. Give us a clue then! ?

So he was sweating such a lot because the pigs were watching him hungrily.

I should not be supporting Miss Lister. I should be on the side of the stroppy farmer. I am not sure that GJ is polititically correct.

We're loving it - husband has played the title song umpteen times already!

I think it is great. Very funny in almost pantomime style. I loved the letter in the drawer.
I'm happy about the kissing as a hint at much more ...not as explicit as a lot of dramas.

Loved it, great to have a bit of fun and I bet she wasn't boring to be around . Thank goodness she kept a diary

I don’t find it very funny, I must say, and I thought the scene with the pigs was beyond horrible. I find the whole thing, and particularly the title character, slightly sinister and creepy in some weird way. Still watching, though.

Miss Lister as acted is creepy because she so accurately portrays male seduction techniques while her body is that of a woman.

Oh mother...’granylyn65 give us a clue then!’...
My echo...

Still enjoying the series. A lot of the complaints aren’t evident to me.
The only thing I would say is thAt this is the 3rd or 4th time BBC’s have visited this character....she’s obviously struck a chord with someone!
A history professor once told me to read differing versions of the same period, as history is told through the subjective views of the historian.
Perhaps the bbc are doing just that!!

I love it! The story is so true to the real person and the music is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing some more. x

I didn’t get who she means????

That was for the part that the friend’s son is playing.

Another good episode. I’m loving the subtle humour. ?

I’m not getting subtle humour. Where is it?

I find the title character, as played, so off putting that I almost don’t watch. However, I do, for other reasons, historical and visual.

Aten’t some of the other characters a bit too sophisticated about the existence of lesbianism? I’d have thought the average person then, as in my childhood, would think they were just friends and companions and have no idea there was sex between women...

I am still enjoying it overall despite Ann Walker being a bit of a ditherer. Still love the music. Nice to see something different. The end shocked me this week (no spoilers).

seacliff I agree, Ann Walker is a bit wet and is annoying me slightly I do think that Suranne Jones plays Ann Lister so well, very charasmatic.

Yes the end of this week came as a shock but that is all to the good.

Music is great. All in all very enjoyable xx

Still loving it! What a twist this week! ?

Same here Lilypops.
Loved Line of Duty. Suranne would be great in next series.
Just watched first 3 series of LOD again.

I didn’t watch it this week. I’ve decided it’s not worth my time to watch something where I find none of the main characters sympathetic. I may go back if one Sunday there is nothing else worth watching.

Suranne Jones is great in the part. Her love interest is a bit too wet for my liking.
