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?
