Centred around the S Clubbers' shock discovery that clones of the band are touring America, the film tracks the six as they attempt to capture the impostors and their evil creator, Victor Clonemaster. Peppered with some of their greatest hits--including a musical-style version of "Don't Stop Movin'" performed in a prison--their back catalogue is surprisingly under used.

As the group admit in the accompanying interviews, this film is no masterpiece. There are no glitzy special effects and the clones of the six are created by clever camera angles rather than anything more fancy. Like Spiceworld with its Tardis tour bus, all sense of reality and location gets lost during the film. Despite some establishing shots, it's difficult to work out where the action of the film is supposed to be taking place: is it Los Angeles, Barcelona or a set at Elstree? But the need to suspend all sense of reality adds to the fun of the film, and like a Children's Film and Television Foundation production from the 1970s, this turns out to be good, wholesome entertainment, which mixes adventure, fun and irony.

On the DVD: Seeing Double on disc has some exceedingly good value extras, including a fun interactive interview section, which allows you to select (a limited number of) questions to be answered individually by the six. There are comprehensive fact files on the S Clubbers, a photo gallery and a tough interactive quiz too. --John Galilee
