Glamour – Gentleman Jack Is a Period Drama I’ve Been Waiting My Whole Life to See
Wainwright and Jones both wanted to ensure that Anne’s queerness was depicted realistically and fairly, so Wainwright hired a lesbian adviser and an intimacy adviser to coordinate the sex scenes. Jones appreciated having the experts available to her. “I think, in the current climate, every show should have [an intimacy adviser],” Jones says. “It just makes everyone safe and comfortable. We had someone that we could talk to if there were any questions.”
“I wanted to make a point of not being gratuitous,” Wainwright says of the sex scenes. “But I wanted to combine that with making a big character. Anne Lister was a great lover, and her sex was very evolved. I think we shot the scenes in a way that’s very beautiful, very apt.”
