Will Johnston, joint CEO of Lookout Point, the production company behind the Calderdale drama, had a front row seat to a television triumph. 'Sally Wainwright, she is a genius. Working on a script or a programme-making relationship with Sally is unbelievable, there's nothing like it. My experience, anyway, has been dealing with someone at the top of their game who, like me, just wants things to be the very best that they can be.

'The thing with Gentleman Jack, and I'm gay so as an LGBTQ-plus producer you're especially hopeful that a show will resonate with a community that's been underserved, and the fandom for Gentleman Jack is so inspiring and so motivated to go deep into that story – even deeper than Sally has in the show – and share it and scrutinise it and own it and carry it forward. That is really cool.
