S Club Search
S Club Search was a CBBC reality television show that documents the audition process and formation for the pop group S Club Juniors in 2001. The original concept was that the children would perform at Wembley as a support act to S Club 7 on their S Club 7 Carnival 2002 tour, but their appearance at Wembley was considered such a success that 19 Entertainment, the management company that had created S Club 7 and auditioned S Club Juniors, decided they should perform as a support act at all of the venues on the Carnival tour.[1] Following the tour, the eight children went on to form the group "S Club Juniors" (later renamed to "S Club 8") and had six top ten UK hits.[2]
