Thomas and Deborah: Just like Daddy Garth

The Listening Project

Available for over a year

Thomas could read before he was 3 years old. He got an A* in GCSE maths when he was 8. He's now 11 and has an A in A-level Maths and Statistics. He's also an accomplished pianist and has an IQ higher than Stephen Hawking. His father, Garth, was also extremely bright - he was a Physics graduate - but he died when Thomas was only 22 months old. Thomas sat down with his mum Deborah to have this conversation about his incredible brain and the Dad he can't remember.
