3 | ''The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister'' was a one-off [[Creator/TheBBC BBC]] drama that aired in May 2010. The title character was a Victorian industrialist and businesswoman and is considered to be the first modern lesbian. The programme mostly details her relationship with her girlfriend, Mariana, and her ex/best friend, Tib. Things don't get off to a good start, since after the exposition the plot sucker punches Anne with the announcement of Mariana's engagement to Charles, an older wealthy landowner. |
