Nazi Pop Twins - Tonight on Channel Four 10.30pm

Nazi Pop Twins

Thursday 19 July
10:30pm - 11:35pm
Channel Four

This is the kind of programme Louis Theroux should have fronted, dealing as it does with a family of American nutcases. Lynx and Lamb Gaede are 14-year-old twins from California who have stirred up controversy with their band Prussian Blue by singing white nationalist songs and wearing T-shirts with Hitler moustaches.

In fact, their behaviour did lead Theroux to include them in a 2003 documentary, but here James Quinn finds out how they've fared since becoming a cause célèbre. Quinn's theory is that their mother is using them as a mouthpiece for her extreme beliefs - beliefs the twins have come to question. He never quite proves this, but he does capture extraordinary moments.

Most startling is the sunlit scene at the family corral, where men in stetsons brand their cattle - with swastikas.

Nice T-shirts, girls.
