You will need tissues soon for tears unless you are made of stone.

This concept of randoms being filmed walking up to and playing pianos in train stations and shopping centres and wherever has been around on YouTube/TikTok for yonks, Channel 4 have just welded it to the soppy, mopey, not-reality reality shite of the Britain's Got Talent variant. It's just totally derivative. Channel 4 used to be quite original.

Did the piano explode?
The glib remark confirms Hunters suspicions.
WOW! is an understatement. Rarely does one see a prodigy, genius, "extra"-ordinary person.
I too could not but help to have a tear in my eye and feel so humble and privileged. If I only had 5% of the talent of Lucy.

Just agreeing with most of you. An amazing, incredible young woman and parents.

I watched the first episode and didn't think too much of it, but watched her performance last night while flicking through the channels and thought she was amazing. Chuffed when she was chosen to go through to the final.

I didn't watch it - I'm sure it was great everyone that did - but that was a very funny reply. Bravo, Spiral.

Being able to play piano is something I would love to be able to do but you need to have a talent and I don't have it.

Series one magical.
This series is a different animal as everyone now knows. So far the sentiment card is far more heavily played..
I'll stck with it for ep 2... maybe
BUT finding out the TOXIC Jo Juson (should never be allowed near a TV production)... is part of this series Production. Makes me question whether I want to...

Itβs something Iβve always wished I could have done, loved the first series and the idea the players didnβt know they were secretly being watched/judged. Agree with the overplay of the sentiment card, but Iβll keep watching for now
