Race and Identity

Jim Riley

Fascinating programme about race and identity on BBC2 tonight, that will be repeated Tuesday 11:20pm and Wednesday 12:20am.

The genetic phenomenon of mixed-race twins who have different skin colours, meeting five pairs of siblings to see how they are affected and how the world views them. They include James and Daniel, who grew up in south-east London, where it was the whiter-looking Daniel who suffered racial abuse, and 11-year-old Glaswegian sisters Ebony and Moesha, who have proved to be very different in character.
