The BBC’s I’d Do Anything is one of my guilty pleasures in life…

The uninitiated amongst you may not know that this is the third in a series of programmes during which Andrew Lloyd Webber picks a new West End star. The earlier versions were How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? and Any Dream Will Do. The shows are particularly notable for the exit sequence, during which the person voted off the show just moments previously has to perform with the other Marias / Josephs / Nancys “saying goodbye in their own special way”, as Graham Norton puts it each week.

Anyway, I love it. Here’s a compilation clip from the exit sequences so far this series. (Given that my finals are just weeks away, yes, I probably should have been doing something more useful with my time…)
