Caroline and Gillian and Hebden Women's Disco

Apparently the house band at the Hebden Women’s Disco are getting their own TV series:

Gillian: Jesus, they're everywhere.

Caroline: But are they vaccinated?

Look! The playlist no one asked for! @drawmeakey is curating something more au courant, perhaps she will share with the masses. Until then, go read her new Barcelona story!

I think this is the least lonely I’ve ever been.

I just have to say that Sally Wainwright is the fucking mvp because not only did she give us the best piece of queer television I’ve ever seen, Gentleman Jack BUT she also ended Last Tango with Gillian and Caroline at Hebden Women’s Disco which is something I never knew I needed

The only disco is Hebden’s Women’s Disco.

hey, wondering if youve seen series five of Last Tango in Halifax? i skipped since when Kate died and just watched the last series and have some FEELINGS about Gillian and Caroline. Any thoughts?

I’m up to date, yes! Season 5 sucked me right in again, after I was a bit ambivalent around 4, mostly adjusting the to lack of Kate. I’ve actually gone back to watch from the start again, even though I know it’ll hurt me, but goddamn McElliot could teach Austen and the Brontës a thing or two about repressed sighs, adoring looks, and the ache of longing. 

It’s weird because I am 9000% here for Gillian being Caroline’s wingwoman and yet something didn’t click for them as a potential pairing until s5 - maybe loyalty to Kate, maybe just stubborness I’m not sure. But Hebden’s Women Disco feels more like a metaphor for them being together than anything else. So I would be... okay I think? Possibly even rooting for it? Anything to cleanse the palate of that harsh rejection inflicted on Caroline. 

Oh and let Caroline and Judith have a fling, just for the hell of it!

stumbled on a song that's eerily accurate to Gillian's marriage to Eddie. Blue Flashing Lights by Travis. but actually I wanted to ask if you have any thoughts on Caroline's reluctance to go to Hebden's Women's Disco and if it did her any good in the end that Gillian managed to drag her there?

Caroline’s reluctance to go to Hebden Women’s Disco doesn’t surprise me. On one hand, her interest in Ruth signals that she is ready to consider getting romantically involved with someone, which is good. But otoh, subconsciously choosing as her object of affection a woman who is married to a guy and is obviously going through a traumatic time in that relationship is like, you can do better, Caz. (See Greenwood, Gillian.)  So maybe Ruth was a “safe” choice in that a relationship likely wouldn’t come to fruition.

Her reluctance could have a lot to do with class and/or age...she probably doesn’t see HWD as her scene, as a place where she could comfortably socialize with other queer women who would share her interests. She wouldn’t have high expectations, if any, of finding someone with serious romantic potential.

Also, she’s single, and out, pretty much for the first time ever (given how you view her time at Oxford...was she out then? Did she go to gay clubs or events?). So the prospect of actually putting herself out there may have been daunting.

That said, I think it was very good that Gillian dragged her there, and good for her too. At the very least, it provided an opportunity for her to hang out and have fun with Gillian outside of their respective homes, and without tripping over kids and old people at every turn. And if she gets some phone numbers in the process, all the better!
