'Peter Unwin George Wall, otherwise known as Pugwall, had a big dream — to be in a successful rock band. With the help of his mates Bazza, Orfo, Stringbean and Jenny, he created The Orange Organics. Now it's Summer and Pugwall has his own goals to achieve. He makes a list with his best friend Orfo and together they set about achieving them: making money, driving the school wardens wild, getting a suntan and working towards the release of a record with the band.'
