1.TAKE OFF Episode One, was our first introduction to the fabulous S Club 7. It featured the song Bring It All Back as the opening titles and introduced us to two other songs, Everybody Wants Ya and It's A Feel good thing, all available to download on our fab album review page! It all started in England, with seven star struck members of the S Club 7 talking about fame and fortune in a dreary English park. So disheartned Jon leaves the band and finds a job in Cleanezee Carpet comnpany. The rest of the S club are also bewildered when their manager Danny Parsons promises them a huge break for their careers in Miami. With no money and no jobs the band jump at the chance to live in a luxury hotel and make it famous. The band leave for the airport, Rachel tearful to leave her boyfriend, and Jo and Hannah to leave their families. Bradley on the other hand does not even tell his parents that he is going! The sad thing about the trip is that through all the hussle and bustle Jon the seventh member is not going to make it to Miami afterall. At the last minute Jon arrives at the airport ready for the trip of a lifetime or so they think...  The S Club 7 arrive in Miami with great expectations for their singing careers, until they see where they will be staying! The foul Florida Paradise Hotel is where they will be staying while they are in Miami. Their boss Howard Bolotti and his brother Marvin are waiting to show them where they will be staying. The S Club girls are first to see their sleeping quarters! Four rotten bunkbeds and a bathroom full of cockroaches, not an ideal break! When Jon, Paul and Bradley see their sleeping arrangements they all decide that this is not what they expected and their manager is going to have harsh words in the morning! The next morning they are awoken by Marvin blowing a horn, to gain their attention. They are then put in military order and made to do tasks like cleaning the pool, and painting the house. Whilst Paul and Jo paint the house they discover that they have painted one side blue and the other green. Rachel and Jon are made look after the pool, with Rachel catching the 'creepy crawlies' in her designer heels! Tina and Hannah are cleaning windows whilst Bradley is cleaning rubbish from around the hotel. Tina takes a stand and vows to phone their manager Danny Parsons to see why they are being made to do jobs that they are not supposed to. When Bradley is given the bucket to clean the windows he throws the soapy water over a guest! This is probably the funniest thing in the episode. When Tina phones their manager in England his secratary is being entertained by a magician and the phone disappears! When it is finally found Tina and Hannah hang up and receive a large amount of coins from the phone. The band are then told that they have to perform an old hit called "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree" and that they must not perform their own songs. With the opening night looking promising the S Club perform the song with Paul on lead vocals. When guests start leaving Rachel decides to take a stand and pulls off her costume to reveal her S Club outfit. The gang follow and perform S Club Party which has the crowd cheering and dancing, even Marvin and Howard love the song! The S Club have landed in Miami! After the disatrous arrival the S Club proved that they could really party with their performance! However they are still not satisfied and go to find Howard, only to find that he is guarded and lives with an alligator. One by one the S Club tip toe into Howard's garden, Hannah even being carried by Jo! They confront Howard and ask for better working conditons and pay. They even ask if they can have a car! In a deal struck with Howard the S Club get a red Chevy in return for not getting more pay. The only trouble is that when they drive out of Howard's house the Chevy breaks down. Howard scheming as ever, will not refund the S Club and will not give them a pay rise. The chevy is a wreck and the S Club are left with hardly no monay and a car that does not work! Jo however will not take this lying down and wakes up early with a plan. In her pyjamas she leaves the girls dormatory without waking any one and sneaks into the boys room. She shakes Bradley and they sneak off together to put her plan into action. They enter Howard's yard with caution, but the alligator is fast asleep! Jo then 'borrows' some of Howard's car parts from the blue chevy and replaces them with the parts on the S Club's red chevy. Bradley who is supposed to keep watch is fast asleep when Jo emerges from the garage with the job done, only to find that Bradley is being watched by Howard's alligator who is only inches away! The pair make a quick exit and return to the dorms as though nothing ever happened! When the other S Club members get into the red chevy they are doubtful that it will even move. When Jo tells them to channel their psychic energy into believing the car really starts it does and the S Club are let loose on the roads of Miami! As they are travelling down the motorway they see Howard in his broken down chevy and cheekily ask if he needs help! The gang start the day with a quiet visit to the beach. The newspapers are reporting that a hurricane is heading towards Miami. Ironically the hurricane is named Hurricane Hannah! The S Club chill at the beach when Marvin arrives to tell Paul that Howard wants to see him immediately. Paul is nervous about visiting Howard and arrives to find him surrounded by gorgeous Hawaiian girls! Howard then tells Paul that he is going on vacation and that he is leaving Paul who he refers to as the "sensible kid" in charge while he is away. Little do the S Club 7 know that Power will go straight to Paul's head and that the hurricane will arrive anyday! Paul then makes the rest of the S Club work harder than they have ever done with Howard. Rachel has to clean the pool in her designer clothes, Jon and Bradley have to entertain the hotel's guests by playing tennis in the gale force winds and Tina has to man the reception desk! Meanwhile Jo and Hannah try to rehearse for the forthcoming Hawaiian Luau night. Little do the other S Club 7 members know that Howard is hiding out down the basement waiting for the hurricane to pass! Paul becomes increasingly bossy and this results in making the rest of the S Clubbers rehearse outside in the now hurricane force winds! Hannah is blown into the pool, and Jo is taken up with a gust of wind, over the top of the hotel and into a manure truck coming to fertilise the rosebeds! The other S Club members scream "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's an Essex girl!!" When they arrive back at the dorms Jo and the other S Club members attack Paul for his behaviour. When they find out that Howard is relaxing in the basement they pretend the hurricane is over and say that it is all clear to return to the hotel. Howard quickly dismisses Paul, thinking that the hurricane has passed. He leaves the hideout to find the hurricane raging and is hit on the head by a flying coconut and his own alligator, Clint! The S Club then cause more noise than the hurricane itself, by hosting a fabulous Hawaiian Luau party, with Paul being accepted back into the ranks and even dressing as a Hawaiian woman in a grass skirt!! With the S Club now firmly established in Miami, they set about looking for a record deal. Jo is receiving tonnes of mail from her boyfriend Robert in England. Not that Hannah is complaining it is her chance to eye up the postman! Jo feels increasingly detached from Robert, even though he is still sending her cakes and cards. Jo sets about writing a letter to end the relationship amicably. While all the S Clubber's are working at the hotel, Tina is put onto reception duty and overhears a conversation, that a guest from what she thinks is the record company EMI is coming to stay at the hotel. She quickly informs the other members to let them know that this could be their big chance for stardom, and that the "man from EMI" will be arriving soon. After countless attempts to write a letter to her boyfriend, Jo and the others head for the beach. While relaxing on the beach Jo finally writes what she feels is the most appropriate letter to end the relationship and begins reading it to the others. "It's not you, it's me... No it is you afterall" she begins, but unknown to her Robert has arrived in Miami and is standing right behing her! Heartbroken Robert flees back to the hotel and leaves Jo in no doubt that the relationship is over. That night the group perform the track "Two in a Million" which is appropriate to the mood that Jo is feeling. They all give it their best shot because they think that the "man from EMI" is in the audience. When Jo sees Robert with another woman she becomes jealous, but then realises that the woman is actually the "man from EMI"! The EMI stands for "Elevator Moods International!" and the woman rep. is interested in using the S Club 7 songs in their elevators! What a waste! The whole event turns out to be farcical, but atleast Jo is now single!!
