The Piano

Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two EnglandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two Wales

Available for years

Leslie finds a piano while on a house clearance job with his father-in-law Chris. Chris thinks they should take it straight to the dump, but Leslie, desperate to make some money to help pay for his upcoming honeymoon, thinks he can sell it to an antique dealer for a small fortune. After an arduous journey pushing the piano around town on foot to various shops proves fruitless, Leslie dumps the piano in an alley – only to find it starts playing all by itself. On closer inspection, Leslie discovers he has a self-playing piano on his hands! He attempts to sell it to the rather ferocious owner of a local Italian restaurant, who mistakenly thinks Leslie is playing the piano and offers him £100 a night to play piano in the restaurant. Leslie agrees – what could possibly go wrong?

For a while, Leslie is getting away with it, and both Tony the restaurant owner and his punters are lapping it up. Things turn a little awkward when Leslie’s fiancee Jemma and her friend turn up, and Leslie has some explaining to do. And even more awkward when waitress Natalie twigs what Leslie is up to and demands half his money or Tony will find out what’s going on. Show less
