An incredible achievement. Beautifully illustrated by flawless CGI throughout, and explained clearly by Chris Packham, this is unmissable. It is an incredible piece of education, and the reason the BBC exists. The licence fee is a contentious subject, but this justifies it in spades.

Sharply observed, gripping story of a mathematically gifted boy, who is also autistic. The boy’s struggle, his mother’s and that of his contemporaries who are also autistic is very insightful. A scene where one young lad tries to teach himself how to be more likeable and funny is heartbreaking. Solid drama, smart and touching. You will enjoy this.
