The piano

I loved this programme, I didn't mind the less good bits cos it's nice to have things less perfect sometimes. If there was a collection of these players I'd buy it. I hope for more next year

Not my normal type of TV watch, but to be honest it drew me in, so many amazingly talented normal everyday people, their talent and their stories brought tears to my eyes, it was very emotional. I hope though this isn't going to be ongoing and be done to death, it was a great one off.

Watched the Concert last night on catch up. Very emotional indeed - even DH, who had been rather unimpressed by the previous programmes leading up to this, was moved. It was quite a risk, I would think, for the programme makers to depend on each of these 4 people being able to cope with performing at the concert. However, it worked, and it was a triumph. I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been in the audience - I would have cried buckets I think. They were all brilliant, but agree that Lucy was the best of all.

The Festival Hall concert.
Lucy OMG - beyond "moving" 😍

I settled down to watch it yesterday afternoon but had an unexpected phone call. Thankfully it did save me from the God awful racket/assault from Mica and Lang Lang at the beginning.

I’ll give it another go later as I’m sure the contestants will be a far better watch.

I love to watch Mika sing - but seems he’s not to everyone’s taste 😆

I only saw Lucy playing on catching up on Gogglebox last evening, she was fantastic but did anyone else find it a very uncomfortable watch.
She is described as neurodivergent and I wonder if she is comfortable being in the public eye.
She puts her fingers in her ears so as not to hear the applause.
So sad I thought.

Only just started this prompted by the thread on GN otherwise probably would have missed it.So thanks as I'm loving it so far.So many lovely talented people.
