Episode description
April's wasn't the only trans rights case to come to court in the late 1960s. But the other - concerning a trans man and the inheritance of a baronetcy - was hushed up and hidden, and those involved sworn to secrecy. Alice and Matt meet Zoe Playdon, the academic who uncovered the case, to learn how its suppression might have sealed April's legal fate.
