Airdate: I’d Do Anything

From The Sound of Music to Joseph, now a talent search for a new Oliver! will air on UKTV.

The third in the BBC talent searches headed up by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber begins on UKTV in August.

The series searching for a new Joseph is currently on air, and it has previously aired The Sound of Music. All three ended in the UK some time ago, where the latest hunt most recently plucked a new Dorothy for The Wizard of Oz.

I’d Do Anything, hosted by Graham Norton, premiered in the UK in March 2008.

Previously, the BBC made a dream come true and placed Connie Fisher in the lead role in the West End musical The Sound of Music. Now, the BBC is embarking on a talent search once again with a brand-new show, I’d Do Anything.

Graham Norton is reunited with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber as Britain’s most unlikely small screen double act, this time for a double challenge: to find talent for the roles of Nancy and a total of three youthful protégés to play orphaned urchin Oliver in the new Cameron Mackintosh forthcoming West End production of Oliver!

To help viewers choose their Nancy and mentor the hopeful aspiring Olivers, the I’d Do Anything panel is Torchwood star John Barrowman, Broadway and West End leading lady Denise Van Outen and, for the first time, actor, comedian, writer and star of musical theatre Barry Humphries CBE, who has appeared in several productions of Oliver! to great acclaim both in the West End and on Broadway.

It airs on UKTV from 7:30pm Thursday August 12.

  1. Graham Norton seems to get increasingly camp with every series. Despite (or because of) that! – his chat show is the funniest on any network.

  2. Every member of my family loves How to Solve a Problem Like Maria, and the current series Any Dream Will Do and look forward ‘I Do Anything’. And UKTV will be showing Maria Met Josephs on Christmas Eve. Love all the Andrew Lloyd Webber reality shows.

  3. Anyone watching the current series Any Dream Will Do, and doesn’t want to know who wins – don’t read the article in the new Foxtel magazine, as it names the winner! Nice to see you didn’t here David.
