This excellent documentary is being repeated at 10.45 pm. Well worth watching, if you've not seen it before.
Can't find the original thread.

Old thread with program summary if you don't know what this is about.
Twins adopted by different family's living on opposite sides of the world figuratively and physically.
Thanks for that.
I posted the wrong link before, that belonged to a Motown thread on the Music board.
This was the link I meant to post.

Bored to tears in that tiny , icebound fishing village.
Even her pet mouse [ rat ? ] abandoned her.
I don't know, the kid seemed happy enough. She lived on a farm.
At seven? she could walk to school without any fear of being accosted. Her sister had to be taken everywhere.
The Norwegian girl must have had friends amongst the other kids at the school.
I would imagine the makers of the documentary wanted to show how disparate were their lifestyles, so made the contrast seem even more so.
As they would be about twelve now, it would be interesting to see how they have developed.
Also, twins or not I did have a slightly softer spot for Alexandra, the twin growing up in Norway.
I found an article after I watched it the last time it was on, and in the article it said that the families continued to keep in touch and the Norweigan twin´s English had really improved to the extent that the girls were able to skype regularly and chat online. And I´m sure if said they also all spent a Christmas together, which I thought was really nice ...
It´s one of those stories that you just can´t help wondering about and every now and again I think about them again!
I was thinking the exact opposite, seemed like an idyllic way to grow up.
I felt sad for them too, just felt they ought to be together
it really would.
I thought the same!. It looked absolutely beautiful. I think a lot of people would pay a lot of money to live that way. I hope the twins are doing well. I wonder if they will live together for a while when they are adults?.
