American network HBO ended its involvement in the show - sparking fears it could be axed
Women from Spain, Germany, Texas and Yorkshire danced along to the Gentleman Jack theme tune at the home of Anne Lister on Saturday afternoon as part of the ongoing campaign to save the show.
Dance teacher Helen Hawkins, who organised the event at Shibden Hall, said: “Wow what a day. Insane. Unbelievable. “Jill Liddington the author of Female Fortune - one of the best books about Anne Lister - came to cheer us on and Sally Wainwright’s sister was to the right of me dancing.” The campaign has also received the backing of O'Hooley and Tidow, the folk duo who created the theme tune to the show. The pair gave the campaigners the right to use their music as they danced in front of the ancetral home of Lister on Saturday afternoon.
