The Topp Twins television series was a highly acclaimed New Zealand comedy and musical show created by twin sisters Jools and Lynda Topp. Running for three seasons, the show featured their iconic cast of original Kiwi characters, including the bossy Camp Mother and her bumbling companion Camp Leader, the Bowling Ladies, and the cross-dressing Ken and Ken. The series followed the twins as they integrated their musical performances and comedic sketches into everyday New Zealand life and events, such as A&P shows, netball matches, the Otago Cavalcade, and speedway racing. The show is a major piece of New Zealand broadcasting history.
