In the sham rivalry that persists between devotees of Jane Austen (comedy, marriage, assembly room balls and card games) and the Bronte sisters (tragedy, passion, storm-swept moors and ghosts), you’d peg dramatist Sally Wainwright for the Bronte camp. A Yorkshirewoman who wrote and directed a luminous biopic about the sisters in 2016, she’d be #TeamHaworth all day long. Yet Last Tango In Halifax, Wainwright’s BBC One comedy-drama now returning after a four-year break, shows her to be nothing less than a modern-day Jane Austen....
