I'd do anything

On Saturday 29th March 2008 the televised hunt for a new Nancy to play in the West End production of Oliver began on BBC.
The show entails aspiring Nancy's, chosen from thousands of entrants, facing the cameras in a live show. After the show the public voted by telephone, and on the following Sunday the two Nancy's with the lowest number of votes to endure a sing-off and then a final decision by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
At the same time, 12 young lads, again chosen from many aplicants, compete for three places as Oliver in the same show, although each week one is chosen to go forward to the semi final stage.
The three Olivers chosen on week 9 from the
shortlist of 8 were
Gwion,
Laurence and Harry.
All three will
become part of the show cast,
taking
turns to play Oliver. Well done lads.
The nation's choice for Nancy was Jodie.
Strangely enough the producer of "Oliver", when asked whether he was pleased said "I am very pleased for Jodie".
Somewhat of a back handed compliment, obviously he would have preferred Jessie.
