There's surely a wealth of jokes to be had from the idea of Graham Norton presenting a show called I'd Do Anything.
Anyone want to audition for Nancy? http://www.bbc.co.uk/oliver/

Downloaded and filled in.
Edit - ahaha, just got an email from my friend Laura, informing me that should I wish to audition, "you'd have to have an 'I'm doing this because my dead rabbit came to me in a dream and told me she'd kill my whole family if I didn't' story."

It's just a family show where Graham Norton looks for boys - what could make better family entertainment?

You should apply junky!
I'm so glad we're getting another one of these. I would have preferred a search for Annie, since little ginger girls crying makes better tv but this will still do nicely.
Could they have picked a more terrifying picture of Graham for that article? That'll scare a few applicants off. I can't imagine he's too pleased about working with kids when he's about as child friendly as broken glass.
EDIT: Just to specify that junky should apply to be Oliver, not because he's a right Nancy.

Are you really applying, Sparkle? I think I'd be too scared to sing for the nation on camera!

Trouble with this, you see, is that it will be full of women and little boys, and that means there's no-one to fancy. And TV shows are always better when there's someone to fancy.

I wonder if they'll have a top 12 Olivers and a top 12 Nancys, and eliminate two each week. Or will they put them in pairs like Grease Is The Word?
I was Mr Sowerberry, the undertaker, when I was in Oliver! It's an unexpected show to return to the West End, I feel.

I'm not especially keen on the idea of putting fairly young children through a process where they're rejected week after week.
Following Sophie Okonedo's part in the current BBC series of Oliver, it'll allow the casting process for Nancy to be open to all races and ethnicities, which is a good thing.
As Long As He Needs Me is such a good song, it almost transcends its heritage. A reminder of how good it is:

They could have had the musician Artful Dodger cast, and the soundtrack to Oliver! could have been transformed into a UK Garage concept album.

I hadn't even thought of that. It was bad enough with 14-year-olds in the X Factor, but these boys are going to be 11/12 at the most, and given how much some of the Josephs cried...
...THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Yes, but if they want to succeed in show business they'll have to put up with loads of rejection.
Oh sod it I can't really excuse it. What I'm really trying to stay is STOP MENTIONING THINGS THAT WILL MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY AND HAMPER MY ENJOYMENT OF WATCHING STAGE SCHOOL TYPE KIDS HAVING BREAKDOWNS IN THE NAME OF FAMILY SATURDAY NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT.

Yeah, i mean they are STAGESCHOOL kids! Half the entertainment will be watching them cry and their pushy parents disapproving looks from the side lines.
Maybe it will mostly be about Nancy and and the kids thing will be a sideline.

Having checked the details, it says the role of Oliver will be shared by 3 boys. Who wants a reality show with 3 winners? I demand child labour!

If they can break the law about phone votes, they can break child labour laws too!

So overall there'll be four winners? That's less dramatic and exciting.
With the Olivers they should:
- Only audition singing triplet boys
- Or if we have to have three totally separate different winning Olivers then there should only be four to vote from in order to up the cruelty and the drama stakes.

Also, given that they made the Marias sing, and the Josephs sing and rip their jackets off, will they make the Nancys beat each other with cudgels?

The Olivers can depart when the voted off one walks up to the judges panel (they'll all be dressed in Dickensian get up) with their bowl, before asking "Please, can I sing some more?" before Bill Kenwright jumps down, smacks him across the back of the head and drags him up the stairs.
The Nancys can be dragged up the stairs in the same way, but by Barrowman dressed as Bill Sikes.

In my head, I saw that as three boys playing Oliver at the same time a la World's Most Giant Doctor from Scrubs.
