I said that yesterday! I think he'll be really good actually. I have no real reason to think this but, well, I think he will.

January 2009?! That's a long way off, if the tv show will surely finish in late May.
He's quite an interesting name to get for Fagin, actually, especially considering he hasn't been on the London stage in 20 years.

....Mr Bean has made him so rich he can pick and choose what he wants to do so I guess this is him experimenting with musicals for a while.

Hi, does anyone here know what Debt collectors the ginger one (Ashley Russell) got fired from?

I got to see the dress rehearsal last night. I'm not going to spoil anything, but let me just say that the group performance in the results show is AMAZING.

The bookies have sorted out who their favourites are. Like American Idol viewers, they don't seem too keen on The Blacks.
Jodie 5/1 Jessie 5/1 Sarah 6/1 Francesca 6/1 Ashley 7/1 Rachel 8/1 Samantha 10/1 Tara 12/1 Amy 12/1 Niamh 16/1 Keisha 16/1 Cleopatra 16/1
In other news, John Barrowman was on the radio earlier, and said that the selection of the Olivers will consist of one Oliver being picked each week to go through to the final, which will mean 8 Olivers "survive", 3 of which will be picked for the show, with one reserve Oliver.
John also confirmed that his dog Lewis is terminally ill with stomach cancer and will be put to sleep imminently.

Seamus in 'Evita'?!
Hurrah for big production numbers like that being back on our screens on a Saturday night.
Ooh, my sweepie's on first.

There's a big fat man behind Graham who's crying. I refuse to comment.

Tara was too bouncy for me, and I didn't like her top notes.

The bust line of dark green Nancy's dress looks like two hands grabbing her breasts.

Swimbint Nancy for the win!

Swimbint Nancy for the win! She was clearly the best- whether she was REAL enough for the panel I am unsure. Nancy was REAL dont you know. Tara was awful. In fact the whole thing was pretty underwhelming. I fear I have built this show up too much and it was only ever gonna dissapoint me.

My favourite Nancys (Nancies?) are listed in order of favourite first below.
Samantha, aka Swimbint Hotpants Nancy Jodie, aka Garlic Mushroom Weightloss Nancy Jessie, aka Orphan Annie Nancy Keisha aka The Other Black Nancy Sarah, aka Babyface Nancy Niamh, aka Ulster Fringe Nancy Rachel, aka AboutYouNow Nancy Ashley, aka Lindsey Lohan Nancy Cleopatra, aka Comin'Atcha Nancy Francesca, aka Low Rent Sickly Nancy Amy, aka Postman Pat Nancy Tara, aka Nosering Nancy
So hopefully Tara and Amy or Tara and Fran in the sing off, with Tara to return to Wales to resume her career as a tv star, recording artiste, television personality and talent show judge.
And a polite reminder to everyone not to post ANY occurances of the results show that is filmed tonight, even if it's freely available on other websites. Should anyone disregard this, I will find out where you live and arrange for John Barrowman to track you down and bum you to death.

I love the way Cleopatra Nancy tries to be all 'street' then her mum comes on and sounds like a posh lawyer.

Barry Humphries is a serious let down as a judge - did he love everyone? He also has the unfortunate habit of writing a cheque he can't cash; every utterance sounds like a set up for a Dame Edna put down, and it's disappointing when it never arrives.
I thought Hotpants Nancy was awful. She was drowned out by the band, which is pretty embarrassing when Britney managed to sing above her backing artists. I want a West End Star who can belt it, please. Lord Lloyd-Webber seemed pleased with the hotpants, though, so I think she's through.
I'd also put Other Black Nancy low on my list, as she didn't act at all during Mad About The Boy, which is ridiculous; and I was too busy trying to work out who Ulster Nancy looked like to bother listening to her singing attempt (the judges went with Bernadette Peters, but personally I'm going for Big Time-era Sheena Easton).
Blackpool Nancy was good, but the one that stayed with me was Babyface Nancy, played by Penelope Keith. Conspiracy theory alert! We were informed that she appeared in The Witches of Eastwick (producer: Mr C Mackintosh) and played the daughter of Mr J Barrowman.
The Olivers are doing my head in. Too many stage school faces. But I am delighted that Professional Welshman Oliver is through.

I thought Ulster Nancy looked like Mel C did in the 90s.

Amy, aka Postman Pat Nancy Hee! I have to say, when I saw Amy during the live show, I couldn't help thinking of her as what Ashley Tisdale would be like if she were a Catherine Tate character.

Did Rachel bollocks it up doing About You Now, or was it the band? She started singing the middle eight Heidi bit, and the backing singers were doing the chorus. I was surprised there was no mention of it from the judges.
I was quite pleased with Comin' Atcha Nancy, although I can't believe Jodie sung bloody Chasing Pavements. Terrible choice.
Good on Lil Welsh Oliver too, he's the only one I don't find wholly slappable.

Rad - Have you updated the sweepstake I forgot to take part in so it reflects my new-found love of Swim-bint Nancy?

I hate to do a Barrowman, but that actually was fantastic fantastic fantastic.
EDIT: Oh God. Bright Eyes. What a comedown.

I didn't like that Bright Eyes performance at all!
I bet Amy goes.
