Bessie Carter (Prudence Featherington, Bridgerton) joins host Reshma Gopaldas and guest co-host Sarene Leeds to talk all about her role as Nancy Mitford in Britbox's series Outrageous. Bessie is currently also starring in Mrs. Warren's Profession in London with her mother, Imelda Staunton (The Crown, Harry Potter).

Bessie breaks down Outrageous, from working with her talented co-stars, and what it was like to portray oldest Mitford sister, who was part of a historically controversial family who rose to fame during WW2. Their story begins in the late 1930s, and chronicles the sisters alongside the rise of fascism. 

Bessie reveals what it was like growing up in a family of actors, the concept of nepo babies, and says when it comes to Bridgerton spoilers, she's too afraid that Netflix might have spies all around. 

Joanna Vanderham plays Diana Mitford, Shannon Watson plays Unity Mitford, Zoe Brough plays Jessica Mitford, Isobel Jasper Jones plays Pamela Mitford, Toby Regbo plays Thomas, and Orla Hill who plays Deborah Mitford. James Purefoy plays David Mitford, Lord Redesdale and Anna Chancellor plays Sydney Freeman Mitford. Created by Sarah Williams and executive produced by Matthew Mosley, Outrageous is streaming now on Britbox.
