in may 2012 bbc radio 4 broadcast a sequel to the film called "kind hearts and coronets – like father, like daughter". in it, unity holland, the illegitimate daughter of louis and sibella, is written out of the title by lady edith d'ascoyne. (although as illegitimate she couldn't have inherited anyway). unity then murders the entire d'ascoyne family, with all seven members played by alistair mcgowan.
