 Coconut bras, spear fishing- what next?

Hannah: It's about being Natural innit! You're stuck on an island with no food and you have to look after your self don't you? You have to survive on what you find in nature!

Tina: You find us doing lots of really un-S Club style things. Like making huts, catching fish and generally fending for our self's.

Rachel: Us girls do all the important stuff that needs to be taken care of. Like picking flowers, making skirts and them coconut bra things that you have to wear on a desert island!

Jon: This video's a real mix. Most of the time we've done them stand-and-dance video's, where we pretty much stand and do our dance routines in front of the camera. This one was cool 'cause there's a story to it.

 

It looks like you enjoyed yourselves.

Rachel: Yeah it was brilliant. Natural's probably my favourite song off the album, and of course I sing lead in this one for the first time, so it has a bit of an extra trill for me.

Paul: Video's always tend to be brilliant when you've finished, but are actually very boring when your making them, but this one was different because we could amuse ourselves when we weren't needed. I managed to get hold of a few wicked water guns, which I put to good use!

Tina: The trick with video's is making sure you have a TV that works in your trailer! But my tip is remember to take a Playstation with you.

Bradley: There's a couple of rules you have to follow: 1) never, under any circumstances learn to tell the time by the sun, and 2) never ever wear a watch! I made that mistake when we were filming Bring It All Back video and I'll never do it again. You just sit there watching the seconds ticking away thinking to yourself, only one hour and 15 seconds till lunch. Only an hour and 14 minutes till lunch! It drives you mad!

 

But with all the video's you've made you must be dad hands at this game by now!

Bradley: We're always messing up!! They were trying to do this sexy shot with the girls laying on the beach with the tides lapping over their bodies. Hannah set herself up for this big shot and the tide started rolling in. But she's so small it just swept her out to sea! She was like a rag. They had to stop filming 'cause they were laughing so much!

Hannah: It was supposed to be a sexy shot and ended up being ridiculous! I ended being washed up all over the place. I felt like a right fool!

 

Even on a desert is S Club glamour- we noticed some boys wandering around in some natty wet-suits!

Rachel: Ha Ha! Well, we've seen them in them before so it's no big deal. They look quite cute in them, though, it has to be said.

Tina: I always have a good laugh when I see them!

 

You all looked so cozy round the fire. You must of spent so many nights at LA beach parties!

Paul: If only. Your not allowed to light fires or take drink to the beach so they'd be rubbish! There really strict here. They'd come over and stop you straight away. There are to many beach police!

Jon: You can never believe any thing you see on TV. Take it from me, it's so disappointing- it wasn't even a really bonfire! They rigged up a little gas fire instead. When they called us and said it was time for that scene, I was like, 'Don't rush everyone, they haven't even lit the fire yet. It will take at lease 20 minutes.' Then they just flicked this switch and the fire started! It does look really real, so don't tell anyone!

 

Anything planned for a future videos?

Bradley: I tell you what, man, I'm up for anything at all- anything. It would be cool to try and do something really wacky. I'd love it if one day someone could play one of our video's and think 'What the heck is this?'

Jo: There's loads of things I'd like to try but at the minute I'd really keen on doing a video in outer space. Not actually flying into space to make it, of course, but just so it looks like we were there! Doing a video on a sort of Lost In Space theme would be amazing!

Hannah: All our video's are so easy! Next time I'd like to do a chock full of cool action and stunts! Sort of like a total-action film. Something with loads of affects in it would be amazing!

Bradley: But you can't go wrong with a nice sandy beach can you? I've love to make one in London, but when push come to shove it's really hard to say no to the sun and sand!

 

After all that practice you'd have no trouble if you ever found yourself washed up on a desert island, would you?

Jo: Don't you believe it! I can't see all the boys going off and catching all the food while we mess around being girly! We'd be the ones who would have to look after making all the meals and building the camp- the boys would be to busy sleeping!

Jon: We're totally use less. At one point during filming there was this big star-fish near us and instead of being tough and fishermanlike it, we ran a mile! We completely pooped ourselves!

Paul: We're carrying really fish in the vid, but I think they had been brought from a local supermarket! If I had to go out spear fishing, I'd give it a crack but I'd have to be really desperate. I'd imagine I'd be pretty rubbish as well!

Rachel: We'd be in trouble, to be honest! Though if we had to, I'm sure we'd make it through. I'm really fussing with my food- it has to be just how I'm like it! Hopefully my natural survival instinct would take over and sort me out. I'd have to: there are only so many grass skirts and coconut bras you can make without any food!

Jon: I suitably wouldn't last for long!. I'd be the first of the group to die, without a doubt! At least I'd keep them in Jon sandwiches for a few days!
