I went to the train station for my lunch break but they hadn't finished filming stuff by the time I had to return to work so I didn't get to meet him :tears: Really jealous of the people who did. But very cool to have seen some of the performers on the piano there! Looking forward to when the new series airs!

Love watching the people in the background. "Don't look into the camera, don't look into the camera .. oh sh...".  "Huh, a tall guy and an Asian guy. No idea." "Stare into the distance, don't make eye contact.. ok now look the other way, play it cool..." "Dunno who these guys are. Better not miss my train"  "Has he passed? Nan! That was Mika!! Ffs...". "Hi.. OH HI! giggle blush"

It’s Claudia Tinkleman’s platform for success


COMMUTERS at Edinburgh Waverley were stopped in their tracks as TV host Claudia Winkleman filmed for a new series of the hit Channel 4 show The Piano.

Along with pianist Lang Lang and singer Mika, Claudia travels around UK cities on the hunt for the country’s best pianist who will get to tinkle the ivories at the Royal Festival Hall.

The show, which visited Glasgow last time, clearly wants to lift the lid on more Scots talent.

Claudia Winkleman seen filming in Victoria station ahead of The Piano season two

 

The Channel 4 show invites amateur pianists to play for the public while watched by secret judges.

The 52-year-old, who hosts The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, was dressed in an all-black outfit that matched her signature heavy fringe and eyeliner, as she took selfies with commuters and fans at the London railway station.

On the first series of The Piano, Winkleman met talented pianists at train stations across the country, before they played to passers-by while the show’s judges, pop star Mika and Chinese pianist Lang Lang, secretly watched on.

 

They also travelled to London’s King’s Cross St Pancras and stations in Leeds, Glasgow and Birmingham to choose a winner for each city.

On Thursday, members of the public gathered around an elevated platform with a piano at Victoria, where Winkleman stood while surrounded by a camera crew.

The first series culminated in a concert at the Royal Festival Hall featuring performances from Lang Lang, Mika and the four chosen finalists.

A visually impaired 13-year-old girl called Lucy won the competition, having impressed the judges with her rendition of Debussy’s Arabesque.

 

A 2023 Christmas special also saw pianists from series one return to play festive numbers in front of commuters at King’s Cross.

 

The programme has been extended from five episodes to seven for its second series, which is expected to air later this year.
