Sunday - The Topp Twins

Television (Excerpts) – 2022

In this story from current affairs series Sunday Dames Lynda and Jools Topp are interviewed separately; a necessary precaution in the aftermath of dual cancer diagnoses and pandemic lockdowns. Presenter and reporter Miriama Kamo speaks to Lynda in her 'she-shed' in Canterbury, and Jools in Kaipara. The twins are as unafraid of tears as they are of laughter as they discuss mortality, their farm upbringing, their unbreakable biological and musical bonds and their determination to celebrate 40 years as entertainers.

We were country kids, we sang country music, we yodelled, we were lesbians, we were funny; that combination is weird . . . for the start, you know, lesbians and country music? That's not supposed to go together.
– Lynda Topp sums up the "weird" mix that makes Topp Twins magic
