Last August there was a flash mob outside Shibden Hall with more than 200 people coming from across the globe to dance in an effort to save Gentleman Jack.

It was recently announced that Gentleman Jack’s creator Sally Wainwright would be penning a new series for the BBC based in Hebden Bridge called Hot Flush.

The announcement caused much excitement across the TV space and the Bring Back Gentleman Jack hashtag has been trending over the past few days, with a number of fans hoping that the show will one day return.
