I Dream

On Wednesday September 22, 2004 the first episode of S Club 8's own weekly television show called "I Dream" aired on BBC One. "I Dream" revolves around the summer school Avalon Heights, run by Professor Toone (played by Christopher Lloyd), where the characters try to improve on their talents in the performing arts.

The show's theme tune, Dreaming, is performed by band members Frankie and Calvin and was released on November 15, 2004. This duet raised rumours that Frankie and Calvin were going to leave the band, but all band members insist they are planning on more S Club 8 releases after the show has finished its first season. On November 29, 2004 an album titled I Dream was released, containing songs from the show.

Further rumours of the band splitting up came up when it was announced that band member Rochelle Wiseman was confirmed to become a presenter for the British children's television programme Smile starting on December 19, 2004 replacing Reggie Yates and Fearne Cotton who left the programme at the end of 2004.
