1. Episode 1Now viewing2010-03-081hDinnington Band, from just outside Sheffield, South Yorkshire, has survived two world wars, the miners' strike and the demise of the pits. But now it's down to a handful of core members, including septuagenarians Joan and Kay, and Kay's daughters Sally, Joanne, and Penny. They are a formidable family, but they seem to be fighting a losing battle to keep Dinnington alive. Until Sue Perkins arrives...

2. Episode 22010-03-151hSue takes the rejuvenated Dinnington Colliery Band into battle as its bedraggled players prepare to take the stage at the famous brass band competition at Hardraw Scar, North Yorkshire. This will be Dinnington's first ever appearance at Hardraw, despite both the band and the contest being over a hundred years old. But they're still a long way short of a full band, they have no cash, and they need to hire a new conductor if they are to stand a hope in hell of making the grade. Can Sue get the band fighting fit and put them back where they belong, on the competition stage?

It's a dramatic finale as the band undertake their first appearance on live television, march on Westminster, and push their self-belief to the limit as they go head-to-head with Grimethorpe - one of the best brass bands in the world. At stake is not just the survival of Dinnington, but the future of brass bands all over the land.
