inseparable sisters

10.40pm, BBC One

“I’m not going to pretend that this is easy,” Ibrahima Ndiayi says of her conjoined twin daughters Marieme and Ndiayi. Faced with the prospect of losing the weaker one if doctors operated on him, and shortening the life expectancy of both if he did not operate, he made the big decision not to separate them as newborns. “But it’s a huge blessing.” Love oozes from this documentary, which tells the incredible stories of seven-year-old girls who were told they would never reach Ndiai.

Official Secrets (Gavin Hood, 2019), 11.20pm, BBC One
Directed by Gavin Hood, this fact-based drama about Katharine Gun, the GCHQ linguist and whistleblower who exposed an illegal U.S.-British spy network in the lead-up to the Iraq War, is a searing, angry film. The tension builds and you find yourself gasping at the injustice of it all. Keira Knightley is better than ever as Gunn, and the film also boasts great performances from Ralph Fiennes, Matthew Goode, Matt Smith, Indira Varma, and Rhys Ifan. stuart heritage
