Hidden Talent - Season 1

Season 1

Episodes

Episode 1
The first episode focuses on two drastically different skills, rock climbing and lie detection. After experts test the general public in both physical and mental capacities, they narrow their search down to find the individuals that they believe had the greatest potential to excel in each field.

Episode 2
In the second programme, Hidden Talent seeks to discover someone with the physical and mental capacity to succeed in the international free-diving arena and an individual who, even with no previous artistic training, can spot a masterpiece in a room full of fakes?

Episode 3
In the third programme, the tests are designed to seek out one extraordinarily talented, but unknowing, linguist, whose way with words could change their life. Language experts: Dr Radia Kesseiri, Lecturer in Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies at The University of Leeds; Dr Anil Biltoo, Coordinator of Less Widely Taught Languages and a language teacher at School of Oriental And African studies and Major Eddie Trowbridge, The Defence School of Languages, all tested groups of people from across the UK using the MLAT test (Modern Languages Aptitude Test), which requires participants to have no prior knowledge of foreign languages other than school level, ensuring only those with a natural talent for languages come through.

Episode 4
In this episode the Hidden Talent experts are looking 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.

Episode 5
The fifth episode of Hidden Talent sets out to discover two individuals with extraordinary mental abilities they never knew they had. The first is someone with an exceptional talent for multi-tasking; someone whose brain can literally do two or more very demanding tasks simultaneously. Scientists call these ‘super-taskers'.

Episode 6
The series finale catches up with some of the amazing individuals who found their hidden talents to discover out how the experience has changed their lives, including unseen footage of their extraordinary journeys.
