Average siblings share half of their genes, but identical twins share all of theirs. Does this mean they will necessarily share personality traits, skills and characteristics?

Julian concludes the series with an exploration of the culture, mysticism, facts and figures of twins in everyday life and historical culture. What makes their connection unique?

Featuring academics and twins Meleri & Dathyl Evans.
