Anne Lister also happened to love women, and enjoyed a healthy sex life, so the Doctor Foster actor says the show's creator - award-winning writer Sally Wainwright - hired an intimacy co-ordinator so that she could depict the sex scenes convincingly and with sensitivity.

"I was quite nervous about the sex scenes we had to do, because I thought they should be approached as sensitively as they could be, " Suranne told The Mirror. One of the great things she brought was an articulacy – we could talk about the scenes.

"She just started talking about body parts and positions in a matter of fact way, which just liberated us all. As well as helping us sculpt the sex scenes, the positions, she’s also there to provide support to the artists."

Intimacy coach Ita O'Brien advises sex scenes are meticulously planned in advance, explaining, "Fight scenes in films are carefully ­choreographed and rehearsed. Sex scenes should be the same."

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.”
