Give Me A Year

The ultimate challenge for a tv personality to realise his or her childhood ambitions – to learn and perform a piano concerto with the Brussels Philharmonic or to perform with the royal ballet as a prima ballerina - the possibilities are endless but they only have one year! 

In each episode the clock is running as we count down to the grand finale concert, ticketed and available for the public to attend. Our famous amateurs will face weekly challenges and tests to prepare themselves for the huge task ahead.

In parallel, an online competition asks amateurs to submit user generated content of their own progress over a year with the winners being selected to perform at the concert or show.
