The Topp Twins

'Camp Mother' and 'Camp Leader' are two characters from deep in the New Zealand heartland created by irrepressible comedic twins Jools and Lynda Topp.

In 2003, the Topps launched into print with their first book.

In this entertaining radio adaptation, we hear about their early childhood on the farm, leaving home and their break into the music scene.

Then their best-loved characters take over – the Ginghams, Raelene and Brenda, Camp Mother and Camp Leader to name but a few.

In the final two parts, the twins wrestle back control and tell us about life on the road, their International success, being gay and their Mum and Dad.
