Kim Philby: The Third Man

On May 11th 1988 one of the most notorious double agents of the Cold War, the English communist spy, Kim Philby, died in Moscow. Philby, who was the so-called Third Man in the Cambridge spy ring, had defected to the USSR a quarter of a century earlier. Witness has been speaking to his granddaughter, Charlotte Philby, about her memories of visiting him in exile.
