What an absolute pleasure to spend an hour in the company of the marvellous Sally Wainwright @YorkFestofIdeas
I am a huge fan of all her work (especially Happy Valley), and it was a joy to listen to her.
Sally also #SIGNED some copies of Gentleman Jack for us, and they are now on the website: https://t.co/6EuUWAXH5i

This is our hearts for real, remember when we were children, simply playing. Some of us developed prowess and adults began to train us, shape us, put us into competition against each other.
