#SaveGentlemanJack: Plane to fly over Shibden Hall to help bring BBC show back from cancellation
and live on Freeview channel 276
A Gentleman Jack banner will be flown over the town of Halifax and its surrounds, including Shibden Hall, the home of one of Halifax’s most famous residents, Anne Lister.
This is set to take place on Sunday (June 4) at 12pm.
It was announced last year that HBO, the American service that broadcast the show alongside the BBC, would not be renewing Gentleman Jack for a third series.

“A year after season two was broadcast, our dedication in raising awareness about Gentleman Jack, and the desire from fans all over the world for more seasons of the show, has not wavered,” said lead strategist Kellie Griner.
“The campaign is ‘coming home’ to Yorkshire, both to pay homage to Anne Lister and Ann Walker, and to serve as an extremely public reminder that there is still an extraordinary appetite to see more of this beloved show.”
