1981: Toddler identifies classical music composers

"That's Brahms' fourth symphony!"

Meet the Billingtons - the beloved Scarborough concert pianist Vincent and his three-year-old son of the same name.

Young Vincent has an uncanny ability to identify classical composers after hearing his father play just a few bars of their music on the piano, and can even in for a duet on some songs.

This is as charming and cheerful a clip as you're ever likely to see.

Originally broadcast 3 May 1981.
