It's a tough pitch, trying to encourage people to send in samples of poop in order to check for bowel cancer, but somehow M&C Saatchi has managed to make it not only engaging but joyful.

In Ribbon Dancer, a quick trip to pick up loo roll turns into a feat of rhythmic gymnastics for one graceful fella; seeing him inspired to use the paper as a ribbon backed by Sammy Davis Jr.'s I’ve Gotta Be Me.

Cheeriily directed by Academy's Si&Ad, the playful tone does nothing to dilute the NHS’ broader ambition to increase the proportion of all types of cancers being diagnosed early, working as a smile-inducing nudge to those eligible to get to the lavvy and send in a sample.
