Plot

In the first episode of the series, the band decide to give themselves 24 hours to get themselves a new manager. The group come across Dean Strickland and he adopts the band as their new manager. Shortly into the series, the group find themselves without a record deal and so they have to search for a deal, or else they'll disband. Luckily, the group find a record company willing to sign them. Unlike "Miami 7" and "L.A. 7", the series deals with the band becoming more famous Stateside. They film their first music video, become a support act for a Latin heart-throb and even have their first concert. At the end of the series, the group have to move back to England to record their album and start internationally promoting S Club 7.
