In this bonus episode, Patsi visits Hugh Mitford Raymond in his apartment on Nice’s iconic Promenade des Anglais. There, Hugh has researched and written for over three decades, producing several books - most notably The Mitfords, Nearly A Thousand Years Of History.

Together, Hugh and Patsi revisit a darker aspect of the Mitford story through two of the notorious 20th century ‘girls’ – Unity (1914-1948) and Diana (1910 – 2003)

Hugh explains the sisters’ mutual obsession with the Nazi project, the controversies in its wake - and the questions that remain. He reflects too, on what it is to be a Mitford when a chapter of the family's past casts such a long shadow.
