The Piano is a new talent show that will profile the best amateur pianists in the UK, performing on pianos at four stations around the country. Unbeknownst to the contestants, it's not just a documentary: it's also a competition. The contestants are secretly being judged, and the four best of them - one from each station - will perform at the Royal Festival Hall to an audience of thousands in the final episode.

London Liverpool Street

Claudia Winkleman and Mika are joined by jazz superstar Jamie Cullum. A last-minute change of location means several of Scotland's amateur pianists travel south from Glasgow to London Liverpool Street. Among those taking part are a pianist who refused to give up after a brain tumour left him unable to use his right hand, a Mexican mother rediscovering her passion for playing, and a gifted teenager inspired by the Isle of Lewis.
