Inside Story 10.00pm BBC1
When June and Jennifer Gibbons left Broadmoor top-security hospital in March 1993, they were already internationally famous as the "silent twins", communicating in a secret language with each other; and not speaking to the rest of the world. They had entered Broadmoor in 1982 after a bizarre spree of vandalism and arson near their home in west Wales; last year, at the age of 29, they emerged to begin a new phase of their rehabilitation. Shortly after their release, Jennifer fell ill and died of heart disease. For the first time in her life, June was alone. The sister she had loved and hated, the only person with whom she could communicate, had gone. June Gibbons is no longer silent, and talks about her relationship with her twin and her attempts to find a new identity for herself in her first television interview. At the inquest into Jennifer's death, June spoke in public for the first time. She spent the following year grieving for her lost twin in a clinic in the town of Bridgend, which she left in the spring. "I could have been normal if I wanted to, if she hadn't been there," June told Marjorie Wallace, the director of mental health charity Sane who befriended the twins after their trial. "Looking back, I wish we had talked. We'd always say we would talk tomorrow, but tomorrow never came."
