Who will they choose to play at the final concert?

Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Jon Batiste take their search for amazing amateur pianists to the seaside as the travelling piano alights at Brighton Station.

Who will they choose? Plus: they have a surprise up their sleeves...
Episode 3
Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Jon Batiste pull into Sheffield Station on the hottest day of the year to continue their latest search for the nation's best undiscovered amateur pianists.

Which talented pianist will the team invite to play at the final concert?
Episode 4
Claudia Winkleman, Mika, Jon Batiste and Mika's dog Sharkey gather at Newcastle Station to witness an incredible display of pianistic talent from a romantic tram driver and a teenager who hits all the right notes, and a heartbreaking performance from an 87-year-old widow that brings everyone to tears. How will they decide who to choose to play at the final concert - which will be hosted just across the Tyne at the Glasshouse in Gateshead?
Episode 5
Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Jon Batiste switch trains for planes as they bring their piano to Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5. It's the last stop on their quest to find the UK's best amateur pianists, and they have just one more place to fill at their final concert. There's an international flavour to the music as Jon and Mika are transported to rush hour in Hong Kong and the beaches of Brazil. Among the other pianists flying in to perform at Heathrow are a talented pilot, a romantic charity worker and a teacher with a medal from the Queen. Who will grab the last spot on the big stage?
Episode 6
With the final concert only weeks away, the hard work begins as Mika, Jon Batiste and Claudia prepare the amateur pianists to perform on a professional stage for the first time. As Mika and Jon mentor the pianists, they're surprised by what they discover. Have they taken too big a risk with the line-up? Can they get their acts stage-ready in time? Some rocky rehearsals leave them worried.
