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

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 !

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.

Yes. It was wonderful and heartbreaking equally.

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.

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.
