[This appears to be a sound recording of a television programme, hosted by Kevin Milne.]

This recording contains a programme entitled "Then Again". The programme looks back at significant events in New Zealand's recent history, and contains follow up interviews with people who were there.

This episode concentrates on the Wahine disaster and the Lawson quins. Archival news reports from the Wahine sinking are played and an interview with the a Wahine survivor, who was an infant at the time of the sinking.

The tragic story of the Lawson Quins is told, including a recording of a quins' teenage birthday party. Their parents divorced and their step-father went on to murder their mother and commit suicide.

Sam and Selena are the only quins still living in New Zealand. They are meeting up in Sydney with siblings who live there and others who now live in the United States.
