Hidden Talent
2012Seasons & Episode
The second episode looks for someone with the physical and mental capacity to succeed in the international free-diving arena, and an individual who, with no previous artistic training, can spot a masterpiece in a room full of fakes.
In the third programme in the series, the tests are designed to seek out one extraordinarily talented - but unknowing - linguist, whose way with words could change their life.
The Hidden Talent experts look for two very different abilities: the natural aptitude for becoming an opera singer and the inbuilt instinct to navigate through the wilderness without a map or a compass.
This episode has someone with an exceptional talent for multi-tasking; someone whose brain can do two or more very demanding tasks simultaneously. Scientists call these 'super-taskers'.
The series finale catches up with some of the amazing individuals who found their hidden talents to discover how the experience has changed their lives, and includes unseen footage of their extraordinary journeys.
