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. Unbeknown to the contestants, though, 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.
At London's Victoria Station, a romantic milkman plays his heart out. There's a soulful rugby player. And Lang Lang hails 'the new Bach'. But who's going to the final?

At Cardiff Central train station in Wales - 'the land of song' - the search for more amazing amateur pianists continues with triplets and a man on a bike singing about conkers.
Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Lang Lang return for a brand-new search to unearth more of the UK's most exciting amateur pianists, starting at Manchester Piccadilly station.
