After analysing the results of the surveys, we have decided to base our programme around a group of school friends (3 girls and 2 boys).
Daisy - a typical girly girl, always giggling. In casting we will be looking for someone very pretty, fluttering eyelashes, with long hair and costume will be predominantly pink.
Ashley - a fun bubbly girl who loves sports with her long hair tied back. She enjoys being silly with the boys and unlike Daisy, isn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
Annie - the mystery solver of the gang, Annie is an intelligent girl who's only priority to top her studies is her friends. Although attractive, she will wear glasses and costume which portray her focus on classwork rather than appearance.
Sam - clumsy and dim, the underdog of the group, he is a lovable mummy's boy. On the podgy side, you can guarantee to find some sweet treats stuffed in his pockets.
Toby - the joker of the group, he is laidback and always looking for fun. Although his intentions are good, he is often the person who leads the group into trouble.
