Holmes - The Ingham Twins

Television (Excerpts) – 1997

In this 1997 interview, broadcaster Paul Homes has his work cut out eliciting responses from Sarah and Joanne Ingham. The twins from Kaiapoi captured New Zealand's imagination when they literally jumped ship, swam ashore and went on the run in Australia with a Malaysian sailor. Holmes draws out a "story of adventure, survival and love" from the guarded Sarah and Joanne, who reveal more in a shared look than a full sentence. Holmes then speaks to the twins' mother Jeanette who has some choice words about parenthood for the seasoned interviewer. 

Yeah.
