The Happy Valley writer talks her life and creative influences.
1. Sally's interest in TV came from her mum
Growing up in the Calder Valley, in the Yorkshire Dales, Wainwright says she was “obsessed with TV at quite an early age and knew quite early on that I wanted to work in telly”. Her love of television came from her mum, who she calls “a passionate TV watcher… She really engaged with it and talked about it and discussed characters and where the story was going.” Her mum also gave her a love of storytelling, even if she didn’t realise it at the time.
Anne Lister was a landowner in the 19th century. A lesbian who had many relationships with women, she was a proudly gay person in the days when that was a very rare thing. Few people knew this until Wainwright wrote Gentleman Jack, her show about Lister. She first became aware of Lister when, as a child, she visited Shipton Hall, Lister’s old home in Halifax. Lister was barely mentioned at the hall, aside from a portrait. Her diaries of her relationships were hidden away for years.
