Susan Calman says visiting home of Anne Lister was ‘quite an emotional moment’
Susan Calman has said visiting the home of Anne Lister during filming for her new series of Grand Day Out was an “emotional” moment. Lister was a 19th century landowner often regarded as the “first modern lesbian” and the topic of the popular BBC series Gentleman Jack starring Suranne Jones. The series was created by Sally Wainwright and based on Lister’s diaries, which were part-written in a cryptic code.
