I Dream has the members of S Club 8 playing supposedly exaggerated versions of themselves, albeit with identical names to their real life counterparts.
[2] The series' production company was 19 Television, a subsidiary of the corporation 19 Management, which is owned by the show's executive producer, Simon Fuller.
– 22 September 2004 Amy, Felix, Ollie, Natalie and Khush receive an invite to Avalon Heights - a top secret academy for the performing arts, where everybody who's ever been anybody has spent a summer.
It's a dream come true but as they settle in to work under the all-seeing eyes of Professor Toone and Patrick, the self-doubts and questions begin to emerge.
"Just for the Record" – 29 September 2004 Professor Toone sets the first big assignment, and everyone bar Amy quickly finds team-mates.
"Hold the Front Page" – 6 October 2004 When the Avalon girls take a stroll along the beach they get more than the ice cream they bargained for.
"Charity Record" – 27 October 2004 Calvin, Frankie and Amy are shocked to find workmen preparing to build a car park over a beautiful local pond which is home to hundreds of frogs.
The gang launch a protest by recording a song highlighting the frogs' plight, and enlist Natalie to help get it noticed by the press.
Ollie, seeking to prove his posh but tough credentials, accepts Felix's challenge to spend a week living a Dickensian deprived life in a barn.
Toone gets everyone to break free of typecasting and take on a new role that is outside their comfort zone, and Ollie, appointed as director, treats his cast harshly in a bid to shake his reputation for niceness.
The show's theme song, "Dreaming", was performed by band members Frankie and Calvin and was released as a single on 15 November 2004.
It reached number nineteen on the UK Singles Chart,[3] and was billed as 'I Dream featuring Frankie & Calvin'.
