Did anyone see this? I just watched it on the ITV hub. It was so lovely when the little Turkish boys were successfully separated. They also featured a few sets of adult conjoined twins that hadn't been separated. I can't understand how they could live like that, but they seemed happy. The programme also followed a US family trying to decide whether to separate their twins or not. A really good watch with emotional highs & lows.

Yes, I saw it too. I remember other GOS cases where the outcome sadly was tragic. Still experimental surgery, but I guess each one improves knowledge for the next one.

Yes. It was wonderful and heartbreaking equally.

Good to see that surgery to separate conjoined twins is improving all the time. So many positives in the programme but I could understand the parents struggles to come to decision about separation.

I watched , it was fascinating and well worth watching. A very difficult situation for parents to be in. The separation of the brothers was amazing !

Very emotional programme. Poor parents thrown into this situation. Amazing seeing conjoined twins driving a car.
