Child Genius

Series 2 | Episode 2 | Child Genius

Watch this episode now on 4oD Child Genius

In the second episode of this two-part series, viewers catch up with the programme's now 13-year-old prodigies.

Aimee practices piano seven days a week and her star is rising, including a win at a prestigious competition. But the pressures of high-flying mixed with teenage hormones tests her relationship with her parents.

Michael is writing his fourth novel and is now home-schooled so he can pursue his academic interests in Ancient Greek, particle physics and even Anglo-Saxon. But how will he negotiate the transition from child prodigy to becoming a man?

Dante and his parents have tried a string of therapists in search for answers as to why his gift is so troublesome for the family. Dante has a strong interest in neuroscience so undergoes an MRI scan to try and explain why his intelligence makes him - and his family - unhappy.

And in an interesting twist, Dante and Michael have become friends: but what happens when two teenage geniuses get together?

Will Dante get himself into trouble for taking a replica pistol into school after his trip to Paris?

  1. i'm not jealous of the people here, it's just that there are some geniuses who have to hide and people think that they "don't exist" and stuff like that. It's just that there are some people who never get represented. will there be a channel like this for people from other countries? (e.x. Australia, America, Russia, etc.)
