Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI office in Covent Garden.
My name is Andrew Hunter Murray and I'm sitting here with James Harkin,
Anna Tijinski and our special guest this week is Cariad Lloyd.
Cariad is a comedian we all know.
She's been on QI a load of times.
She's in an improvised show called Ostentatious which is Jane Austen based improvised comedy with me and she also is the presenter and host and producer and everything of the podcast Griefcast which is about grief and about the people you've lost but it's also very uplifting and charming and funny and wonderful so do give
that a listen.
Okay starting with fact number one this week and that is Cariad Lloyd.
My fact is that Unity Mittford was the only person to be BFFs with Churchill and Hitler.
She was best friends forever just for any 80s kids in the room.
She was definitely best buddies, bezies with Hitler.
She was very bezies with Hitler but she was also very old family friends with Churchill and at some point just before war broke out so she was living in Germany basically completely in Hitler's inner circle.
She was completely there and she used to write to her friend Winston and beg him very regularly to make peace with Hitler
because she really believed in both countries.
Now Cariad yes she was a massive fascist so obviously not like saying I love her but she did really believe
that England and Germany could work together and become this incredible superpower and she always said
if they go to war I'll kill myself.
I'll kill
because these are my two greatest arts in my country and spoiler alert the moment war broke out she went into a park and she shot herself in the head but spoiler spoiler it didn't work.
