Steadman later went on to portray Mrs. Bennett in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
"The director, Peter Gill, was great because he didn't fuss about the fact they were two women or that they had to kiss; he said it was just a love story," Steadman said in a statement.

According to the British Film Institute (BFI), Girlwas "extremely controversial" at the time of its broadcast.
"The BBC's anxiety was evident in the decision to precede its transmission with a special announcement by the controller of BBC Two," read a post on the BFI website.
Furthermore, the show's producer came to watch rehearsals to make certain things didn't go "too far," according to the Guardian.
“There hasn’t been a dry eye among the secretaries who have previewed Girl in the Birmingham studios,” read a 1974 review of the show in the Guardian.
However, viewers were shocked by the show's “depravity", with one commenting "my husband and I found it vulgar, nauseating and repulsive."
Forty years on, the BBC describes it as "a yardstick of '70s prejudice. A milestone in TV history."
Girl is available for purchase and download via the BBC Store.
