Inseperable Sisters review: Sew sweet! The giggly conjoined twins with a passion for fashion, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS
CHRISTOPHER STEVENS: Schooling, transport, care at home, all of these present huge difficulties, and the one-off documentary Inseparable Sisters (BBC1) did not flinch from any of them.
The twins now attend primary school in Cardiff Bay, where they share a crowd of friends despite their differing personalities — Ndeye is assertive and bubbly, Marieme is thoughtful and quiet. When she heard about the girls, textiles teacher Sue James at the University of South Wales offered exactly the help this family needed — encouraging Marieme and Ndeye to choose favourite fabrics and then creating a party dress, a sweatshirt divided into snug and lightweight halves, and an equally ingenious coat. Bring The Drama would work better if we spent more time watching the auditions and less listening to the X Factor-style back stories, but the show is still finding its rhythm.
