Holmes - Christmas Party: Ingham Twins Interview
Television (Excerpts) – 1997
The "Our people" introduced by Paul Holmes at his 1997 Christmas party included tearaway teenage twins Sarah and Joanne Ingham. Earlier that year the sisters had stowed away on a Malaysian container ship after Sarah fell for a sailor. The 18-year-olds made global headlines when they jumped overboard off the Queensland coast, supposedly swam through shark and croc-infested waters and spent two weeks in the bush, before being deported back to Nelson. As Holmes tries to elicit sound-bites, the notorious lasses display the laconic style that made them Kiwi folk heroes.
Yeah. It’s alright.– One of the Ingham twins on whether she’s enjoying Auckland
