He plays the piano!

Are there any DVDs of David Baddiel on piano?
Sorry, can't help you here!

Well David Baddiel just played the piano from a child of about 8 up until he was about 17 until he went to Cambridge University to study English.

He said that the majority of the time he plays he just plays chords at a tempo that suits the music he is playing.

David Baddiel should stick to what he's good at and leave the piano playing to the real musicians, he is one of the worst piano players i ever seen or heard on tv.

here's my advice, find a new role model for the piano!!

Why do you think he's so bad?

he plays at a rudimentary level, his sightreading isnt anything spectacular, and the pop stuff they play on the show is either not transcribed in the book very well, or he hasn't a good ear for recreating the mood and style of the original. i think if they practiced it would be better but yes i realise that would defeat the purpose of the show, baddiel and skinner unrehearsed!!
