'Gentleman Jack' - how a TV series made a good song - a hit song

More than five million people tune in each week to watch BBC One's drama Gentleman Jack about the eventful life of 19th Century landowner Anne Lister and her secret female lover, as BBC reports. The programme ends with song of the same name by female folk duo O'Hooley & Tidow. The song first appeared on their 2012 album 'The Fragile' and it obviously had hit potential, but it actually became a hit - with the show.
