First Person Character prefab no movement or mouselook

I am trying to make the simplest of games just to get my hand back in after a long time away from unity but I cannot seem to get the default unity FPS controller working. when I place the prefab into the scene or attach the scripts to a model, I get a clunk as it falls the 30cm or so to the ground but after that, I cannot get it to move, jump or mouselook even though my settings are set up so that it should work and so I was wondering if anyone could possibly help me with this issue.

Thanks in advance, James Ward
