00:10When I joined the band, I didn't really need anyone else.
00:16I didn't need any help singing, didn't need any help writing, I didn't need any help with
00:22confidence.
00:24When I came back in 2005, I was in such a bad place, I needed everyone, I needed the
00:31shoulders and the presence of everyone.
00:36And that was really the first time I felt I'd been in Take That.
00:42That was when the band started for me.
00:47We bounded into being pop stars in the 90s, not knowing what the hell was going to happen.
00:55We knew what was in the water this time.
01:00So you're a little bit more careful how much of your body you want to submerge.
01:26All of a sudden now, this is getting real.
01:29Who would have known from this documentary coming out that they would have kick-started
01:36the old thing again?
01:38We're now doing some promotion, so we're together for a few days.
01:43It was incredibly exciting to have the opportunity to do it again.
01:50As exciting as it was, I remember just before we went out there to say we're going on tour, it
02:00was all in
02:01this room and I was crying under this table.
02:08It was really fucking emotional, man.
02:13I was that close to turning to the other three lads and saying, lads, this is a joke.
02:21We can't really do this and I felt like I wanted to be sick.
02:28A lot of us were scared and it's a big word that, to say we'd been all burned so badly
02:37at that point.
02:39Well, we'd just like to say thank you very much to everyone for giving us the last ten years off.
02:43But unfortunately, the rumours are true.
02:47Take that of going back on tour.
02:50Yes.
02:51I arrived this morning, there were just three fans waiting outside.
02:54No, that was my sister.
02:57I asked them to come down and make us unpopular again.
03:00We are under no illusions, it's a big call this and we're taking big risks.
03:04We've got to see what our fitness is like as well.
03:06I'm not going to give it a shot and it might be a bobbins, it might be a pile of
03:10crap, who knows.
03:12Or you work the first time around.
03:15Let's see if we can do it again.
03:18Ten years after they split up, Britain's biggest boy band are to reform for a series of concerts.
03:24The boy band has reformed for a one-off tour.
03:27But their far more successful fifth member, Robbie Williams, who split acrimoniously from them, won't be joining them.
03:33So will fans still pay to see Take That without Robbie?
03:40We could do it the first time around because we were young boys.
03:44That's immediately going to be put across with this opening we're talking about.
03:47We spent a lot of time talking before we did anything else.
03:53Four different characters with arms or whatever and all that happened here.
03:57This time, I think we wanted to look after each other.
04:00I felt very protective of the other lads.
04:03We all felt like we wanted what we had, but there was bits of it we didn't want.
04:12Jason said, if we do this, then I don't want to be managed by Nigel.
04:17We need a fresh start.
04:21Nigel invented the band.
04:22He picked us all from our lives and made it happen.
04:27So I owe him so much.
04:30I don't know.
04:31But Nigel was quite scary as a manager, even for me and I was like his main henchman.
04:39Nigel had decided that the way we were going to be successful is by getting into all of our heads
04:46and controlling us.
04:53Jason was probably the only person out of the whole group that would have something to say.
04:58If he didn't like it, he'd have something to say.
05:01And Nigel didn't like that.
05:02You can't tell Nigel what to do.
05:04You just pick on me all the time, don't you?
05:06You hate me. You hate me?
05:08He hated anyone that pushed against his power.
05:13Robbie and I, we got a lot of stick from Nigel.
05:18My manager's down there and he's going to tell me off.
05:20If we don't get in the building now.
05:22I think he decided if we got too big for our boots, it wasn't going to work.
05:28So he made us all feel insecure.
05:32Sometimes you feel like you've got to be smiling when you really don't want to smile.
05:36It does piss you off when people think it is just like all good and all fun.
05:42I could feel like worthless in the band and I didn't deserve to be there.
05:47And I was hanging on by the skin of my teeth.
05:51I didn't want to feel like that anymore.
05:55We discussed meeting him as a band, but Jason wanted to meet him.
05:59They had some unfinished business and he wanted to do it by himself.
06:05Jason's the sort of person that'll tell someone direct.
06:08There's no messing with Jason.
06:10I was really proud of Jay. I remember feeling like, go on Jason.
06:14And I felt proud, you know.
06:18I think he was upset at Nigel.
06:21It must have been a tough time for him, that.
06:25It was probably hard to let us go.
06:27Because he'd known us since we were so young.
06:31But I think he also wanted what was best for the band.
06:34The first time around, we're a manufactured band.
06:37And we were controlled by management.
06:39This time, we've chosen our own management.
06:41We've chosen our own people.
06:43We're in control.
06:46Today, tickets go on sale. Take that to come back.
06:49The band, who had eight number ones in the 90s,
06:51believe the time is right to reignite interest from their fans.
06:54It is one thing, people watching a TV show that's free.
06:59But selling tour tickets, it's just a whole different thing.
07:04You've got some promoter telling us we've got all these dates for you.
07:08And I think, well, is this guy just being greedy?
07:12We just didn't want to look stupid.
07:16I'd gone out the night before the tickets went on set.
07:20With nerves and, you know, all the rest of it.
07:23I was wasted.
07:25I got into...
07:26I must have got into bed at, like, 3 in the morning or something.
07:29And I remember hearing my phone buzzing.
07:33And I had about 35 missed calls.
07:38Some of these people behind me have been queuing since 10.30 yesterday morning.
07:42I'm so excited.
07:43I'm just like, I'm involved with these.
07:45Front row blockade.
07:46How's that feel?
07:47It's fantastic.
07:50The first 10 days had gone before five past nine.
07:55Tickets for the comeback gig were snapped up in three hours.
07:58By the time I'd got up, all 30 had gone.
08:02It was unbelievable.
08:03We're really shaky now.
08:04Because now we've finally got them, so we're well-chuffed.
08:06You couldn't have dreamt this up.
08:09And it's, like, mind-blowing.
08:10And these are the sacred tickets.
08:13The tickets fans have spent hours queuing up for.
08:16They've paid.
08:16How does this even happen?
08:17You can do what you like.
08:20You can do what you like.
08:21Maybe it's etched in people's teenage memories.
08:28The songs and the performances that we used to do.
08:32Ten years for this now.
08:34Ten years.
08:34Ladies and gentlemen, take that.
08:39Congratulations on, A, surviving, right?
08:41And B, being back together.
08:43Look, isn't that lovely?
08:43Take that one.
08:44It's a massive shock to us all.
08:46Yeah.
08:46We're all delighted and the tickets sold in about three hours.
08:50That's weird.
08:50Who's buying the tickets?
08:51I don't mean that in an unkind way.
08:55And at the start of that day, to be thinking,
08:58will anybody come and see us?
08:59To then play into more people than we'd ever played to before.
09:08We were a boy band, you know, 15 years ago.
09:13We had that sort of boyish cockiness, which I've lost since.
09:20How could we come back as mid-30-year-old guys and do what we did then?
09:28It was the first time we moved.
09:31So none of us had moved, really, for ten years.
09:38I think we almost surprised ourselves that we could put something together.
09:47I am a bit nervous about it.
09:51I remember saying to Jason,
09:54I know you're scared.
09:56Because if you don't do this, I can't do it.
10:00Now, the boys, actually, well, they're not boys anymore.
10:02The guys kick off their tour on Sunday night in Newcastle.
10:05Then they're working their way around the country.
10:07I have a ticket.
10:08Oh, good for you.
10:09I wanted to walk out on stage again.
10:12I wanted to sing again.
10:14I wanted that audience again.
10:16I was desperate for it all.
10:18But I wanted it to be right for us all.
10:21I wanted it to feel good for everyone.
10:25And I suppose that was new,
10:26because I didn't really care about anybody else in the 90s.
10:29I just wanted it to be all right for me.
10:36Ten years had led to this show.
10:44Years of many, many dark days.
10:49Losing a record deal.
10:50Gary Barlow has been ditched by his record label.
10:52And everyone laughing at you.
10:54He can't sing, he can't dance.
10:56The album didn't do so well on the charts over here.
10:58So we'd all been beaten up.
11:02Are you acting now?
11:04But we decided we were going to go back in the ring.
11:12I mean, every step was emotional.
11:19And we went on stage,
11:21and it was like an out-of-body experience.
11:28I just can't describe it.
11:31All I do each night is pray
11:35Hoping that I'll be a part of you again someday
11:38All I do each night is think
11:44Of all the times I close the door to keep my love within
11:57All I do each night is pray
12:02Hoping that I'll be a part of you again someday
12:06It just felt like freedom.
12:11it was just great to be doing stuff that i really loved and that i really missed
12:17i felt like i had some kind of worth
12:23and it made me feel like an artist again
12:33how are you doing hometown
12:37i'm jason
12:39hello i'm harry good evening i'm mark good evening i'm gary and we are saved
12:47this is something i love i love this
12:57there's nothing like doing the gig of your life
13:01and looking right and seeing your mates there
13:04killing it as well
13:06and i'm looking at these guys thinking
13:11shit look at this it's incredible it was just brilliant
13:28that feeling of being able to do that again to be able to express yourself
13:35i realized we needed to take that and we needed each other
13:41the comeback tour was nine out of ten and the reason i say that is because it was still
13:50a comeback tour playing music that was ten years old
13:57it could have been a one-off and that would have been the end of it
14:04but every night there was a spot we used to hit in the show
14:09we'd do a run of songs we'd do a run of songs we'd do million love songs
14:17relight my fire and back for good
14:22and then there was a moment right there that every night i used to look out and go
14:29if there was a new song it'd go here
14:35i hadn't written for take that for ten years
14:38i had no idea what was gonna come i had no idea on the style
14:46what does take that in 2006 sound like
14:51music i don't know what it is it has its own laws
14:56when a song lands and it's the right one and it's at the right time
15:00it's not an idea anyone can come up with that it just happens or it doesn't
15:06and all you can do is be there for when it arrives
15:10and just hope that people find it
15:14it makes no sense at all that three days ago i couldn't even sit at an instrument
15:20and now i can't wait to write new music
15:24so me and howard we got in the studio
15:27and i stood up and suddenly this song that had been in there for ten years
15:33just came out
15:35oh
15:35oh
15:36oh
15:38oh
15:38oh
15:54and honestly
15:57it was just like
16:00whoa
16:04and it just felt
16:07timeless
16:12i remember when guys put patience on
16:25and we're like wow that's a great song brilliant song
16:33and there's beautiful high notes that gary was hitting
16:37and you could just so away like
16:43off on the clouds
16:45have a little patience with me
16:52we went to iceland for the video shoot
16:57we were all coming back with our mic stands from these various places
17:04and we were living it
17:08everything else up until that point has been retro
17:13nostalgic
17:15but that was just taking a step forward
17:20and i remember that night
17:22like the northern lights are above us
17:26and it felt really magical
17:30things are lining up and meant to be
17:37bandwagon
17:38and it felt free
17:39and i just need time
17:47and i just need time
17:50and i don't know what it is
17:55Till he let you sign.
18:01For decades on, they're back together,
18:03and they're back at the top of the charts
18:05with their new single aptly named Patience.
18:08Say that! Say that! Say that!
18:09How long have you guys been waiting for?
18:11Since 6 o'clock, Sunday morning.
18:1430 hours, nearly.
18:15It was not just a number one, it was like a career change.
18:19Today, my dream became true.
18:22It was like the launch of a new band,
18:25a brand-new band.
18:27And I was so proud.
18:29It just felt like such a hallelujah moment for us.
18:34I'm gonna get four Valentine kisses.
18:37It's take that!
18:43And that song gave us the doorway to a whole new...
18:47a whole new place.
18:48The walk away with the prize here tonight.
18:50Oh, I'm so pleased. What a year it's been for them.
18:53And it was kind of up to us.
18:55No one else.
18:57Thank you, everybody.
18:59Amazing.
19:00Oh, my God.
19:01We all sat down and, oh, shit.
19:04Oh, shit. Wow.
19:06What do we do now?
19:07Spectacular comeback.
19:12Welcome aboard my boat, if only.
19:18Jason said, if we do this together and we write albums,
19:22we should all split the royalties as a band.
19:24Okay, guys.
19:27I'm sure it took Gary back a bit.
19:32In the 90s,
19:35with the hierarchy of our band,
19:38the writing was a big part.
19:43Yeah, and there was one time,
19:44and this was towards the end of the band,
19:47where I approached Gary.
19:49Gaz,
19:50when we do the next album,
19:52can we get a credit on it?
19:55It was resisted.
19:57It was, you know,
20:00fervently.
20:01It was like, no.
20:07I was a very different person back then.
20:11Very thick-skinned.
20:14Incredibly ambitious.
20:17I was the songwriter.
20:19It was my job.
20:21Gary believed he'd spent all of his life grafting.
20:25You know,
20:25why should he have to relinquish his reward now?
20:30But the request was never,
20:33can I work on songs?
20:34It was,
20:35no,
20:35we just want a credit.
20:37You don't want to do anything,
20:39but you suddenly just want to appear as credits on the songs that I'm writing.
20:44No,
20:45I'm not doing that.
20:48So when we came back,
20:51the question came back up again.
20:54But it was a different question this time,
20:56because everyone wanted to write.
21:00And I realised,
21:02this takes pressure off me.
21:05Now everybody's sharing the burden of being a creative in a band.
21:12I was always quite a nervous,
21:14kind of shy,
21:15insecure kind of bloke when I was in Take That,
21:17who just used to hide behind a smile,
21:19and nice haircut,
21:21and some nice suits.
21:21Best haircut.
21:23There you go.
21:26My school started as we split up.
21:29Those 10 years of writing
21:33were of massive value.
21:35That was basically Mark's apprenticeship,
21:38his solo career.
21:43I was in a writing session with him,
21:45and sometimes you have to get out of the studio
21:48and get away from all the music and the noise.
21:52Me and Mark were outside,
21:54having a sneaky little fag.
21:55And me and him were like,
21:57going off each other's ideas.
21:59Like this chant thing that it needed to be.
22:04And that's how that song was born.
22:08It's not part of Gary's world.
22:12It doesn't mean Howard.
22:14So that in itself was big.
22:18It almost didn't make the record.
22:22We had to fight for it a little bit.
22:25But just to have those conversations,
22:28you know, be able to say,
22:29I disagree.
22:30I think it could work.
22:32That was probably bigger than any of the songs.
22:36Oh, I forgot my mic.
22:37Where's my mic?
22:39Can't sing in this one, though.
22:43That song was allowing space for the people to come forward.
23:04A lot of people think it's about Rob.
23:07I think Rob thinks it's about Rob.
23:08So I didn't want to tell him it wasn't.
23:13Trying to figure it out.
23:17Your anticipation pulls you down.
23:20And it's about all of us.
23:22And I knew it was about me.
23:30All of a sudden, back on this train, and it's like, wow.
23:35It's getting bigger every week.
23:37It was such a shock for everyone.
23:41Let it shine, just let it shine.
23:46Nobody.
23:48Nobody, not us, not our manager, not our record label,
23:52ever saw, ever imagined it being as big as it was.
24:00I think once we got patience, we thought, ooh, this could be good.
24:05But then as it kept coming, shine.
24:11The next thing we knew, we were paying to thousands and thousands of people's stadiums.
24:18Never played a stadium before.
24:28With circus, I don't think we could have had enough.
24:31It gave us the artistic freedom to do what we really wanted to do.
24:36We had Chinese acrobats.
24:38We had Russian tightrope walkers.
24:41We had a fucking elephant with a woman on the back pretending to be a tail swinging around.
24:47It was just, it was mental.
24:51Tonight, this could be the greatest time of our life.
25:00Tonight, this could be, say, the greatest time of our life.
25:07Okay, I want to see everyone's arms in the air.
25:10Whoa.
25:12And the world comes alive.
25:16And the world comes alive.
25:19And it was, it was our world.
25:22We were in control of it all.
25:25It was just magic.
25:27Stay close to me.
25:30Hold on, stay close to me.
25:35What's no one gonna lie tonight?
25:40Stay close to me.
25:41We didn't leave anything behind.
25:43It was like, we're gonna give you everything we have.
25:46Every part of us.
25:48Every single ounce of us.
25:50And we aim for that.
25:52We never stopped aiming for that.
25:56What we always loved doing was challenging ourselves to something that we'd never, ever done before.
26:05Oh, to learn something that you don't think you can do.
26:13When I was in, say, like, the first time around, I was the dancer of the band.
26:20Um, and I accepted it at the time.
26:23Um, and I think, I don't know whether this is the time or place to say it, actually.
26:36I was told not to bother singing, uh, ever.
26:46So, what do you think? Do you like our big stage?
26:50And what about the elephant? Did you like the elephant?
26:54I suppose I couldn't tell people how I really feel.
27:00And I can't even tell you what I went through to get there.
27:08So, this time, singing, it's such a pleasure for me to do it.
27:25Jay, he has the most beautiful voice.
27:27His tone and the way he sings is so beautiful.
27:30He never always sings.
27:31He's a very gentle singer.
27:35Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for
27:40It's the time to be the first one on the dance floor
27:44We go from green to blue to gold to black
27:51Breathe deep
27:53Who knows how long this will last
27:56Take that, being able to come back and do this again
27:59It was a lot about Jay finding his voice
28:03The journey
28:09He always could do it
28:11He always could
28:23But I knew this was enough for him
28:26I knew Jason was leaving
28:29I think he'd found it hard coming back
28:33I feel like he'd enjoyed the success
28:35But he didn't want it forever
28:38The most important thing about Take That
28:42Always from the beginning
28:44Was our personal relationships
28:47Sorry
28:47La la la la la
28:50La la la la la
28:52La la la la la
28:53La la la la la
28:54Robbie left
28:55We never actually had any closure
29:06Jason promoted it quite heavy
29:08The fact that he wanted to do this thing with Robbie
29:12He worked to get the five of us back together
29:14And make everything hunky-dory
29:21I felt like
29:23To keep Jason
29:25We've got to get Rob
29:31Robbie was in a
29:33He was in a funny place
29:35At that time
29:39We'd started speaking a lot more to Rob
29:41He was becoming a part of our world again
29:45The last few times I'd seen him
29:47We'd gone round
29:49And he hadn't left the house for about eight months
29:53I'm fucking bored
29:55I'm scared
29:56I'm lonely
29:57And I've said everything that I want to say in a record
30:02And he'd been wearing this same costume
30:05I say costume
30:07Because he was dressed like Demis Roussos
30:20You don't know who he is
30:21But believe me, your mum will know
30:23Because Demis Roussos
30:26Was the heartthrob
30:28Of my mum's generation
30:31We'd go and see Rob
30:33And he was dressed like Demis Roussos
30:35And we'd all leave and go
30:37What the hell is he playing at?
30:39I mean, he looked like a Jedi
30:42He was obviously going through his demons
30:45Former Take That Star was close to suicide last weekend
30:49He went through his drugs and his alcohol
30:52His addictions
30:58Basically, I'm that wrapped up in myself
31:00The only opinion I have about anything is about me
31:04And it's a fucking terrible opinion
31:07So we're in LA
31:08And we decided that this Thursday night was going to be the night
31:12We're all going to meet up
31:14You know, I had a lot of stuff I wanted to say to Rob
31:16He had a lot of stuff he wanted to say to me
31:19We'd just never done it
31:22Yeah, we went to his house
31:24And Robby had this massive conversation with Gary
31:27What he felt about Gary in the 90s
31:29And, you know, how it hurt him
31:31And blah, blah, blah
31:34And Robby said, listen, this is massive for me
31:37I needed Gary to listen to my truth
31:40To listen to what my experience was
31:44And there were things around me not being supportive
31:48About his songwriting and about his weight
31:51Interestingly
31:53I'd called him Blobby instead of Robby one day
31:55Which I'd hold my hands up
31:57I shouldn't have done
31:59And basically, I had to sit there and just go
32:02Yeah, I did that
32:03Yeah
32:05And it was a real fucking magical moment
32:10And then I hit him with some things
32:13I didn't like that he'd done to me
32:15Sorry, Gary
32:16But I was always the talented member of the band
32:20When two grown-ups meet
32:22And one goes, here's my truth
32:23And they go, yeah, I'm sorry
32:26And the other one goes, here's my truth
32:28Yeah, I'm sorry
32:29There's room for movement then
32:31And in about 20, 25 minutes
32:34We'd put to bed
32:36Things that had haunted us for years
32:39And it felt like we could move forward
32:41After that
32:42And then you realise that, you know
32:45You hurt so much
32:46Because you love them so much
32:49It healed a lot of wounds
32:54And I went up to his place one night
32:56And I said, Rob, I've got something to play you
32:57And I played him the circus tour
33:02And he said, how do I become a part of this?
33:06Because that looks insane
33:09So I was like, well, we need to do some music
33:12That's the first thing
33:17Mark was having his stag do
33:19And we were all going
33:22And I'd said, Mark, now we're going to New York
33:24For this stag do
33:25Which is brilliant
33:26But shall we book a studio?
33:29It was perfect because Rob was coming from LA
33:32We were always coming from London
33:34It felt like we were meeting in the middle
33:37But then Rob's like, oh, not New York
33:40I hate New York
33:41Too many people there
33:42It's too crowded
33:43I hate it
33:44I thought, well, that's the end of that then
33:47So anyway, we booked the studio
33:49And we all flew to New York
33:51Got there
33:52And as I'm checking in
33:53Two big cases of Louis Vuitton luggage
33:58Wheels past me
33:59I think, Jesus Christ
34:01And then stood behind them
34:03Bloody Robby
34:04In reception
34:05Didn't tell anybody he was coming
34:10I think we were all aware
34:14The dynamics or the risk
34:16It's the first time the five of us
34:18Had ever creatively been in the studio
34:21Who knows how that's going to turn out
34:24Who knows what that's going to feel like
34:26I thought it'd be this
34:30Complete, egotistic asshole
34:32That would just want his own way
34:35Great
34:36Is this a sample you brought in now?
34:41That's lovely
34:42You know, how are we going to find
34:43We have to find a way to agree with something
34:46And I don't know how we
34:47You know, whether we're always going to do that
34:49Or how we're going to do it
34:50Or what's the process there
34:52We're going to keep hitting walls
34:53Actually, me personally
34:55I'm not afraid of hitting some walls
34:56It's about us communicating properly
34:57Yeah
34:58Are you nervous, huh?
35:00Yeah, I suppose I am, yeah
35:03What about?
35:04Um, about feeling part of it, really, I suppose
35:07You know what I mean?
35:08You've got three great writers
35:10And it's like
35:12I would have said
35:13We've got off the plane
35:14He said, should we make up a dance routine
35:15So we can show them something
35:17And we turn up
35:18And Aaron come in like that
35:19We've got some of the lads
35:20We're contributing
35:23Two Muppets at the back
35:25I'd actually done some instrumentals
35:28And I said, right, lads
35:29Let's just start the session
35:31Press play
35:33Can I work on that one, guys?
35:35Which one?
35:36This one
35:39Should we, yeah
35:40Oh, what was the first one?
35:42Was that the first one?
35:43And Rob went
35:50And we all went
35:51Wow
35:56I genuinely loved the way Robby worked
36:02As far as giving and taking song ideas
36:05At the start of whatever
36:07At the start of whatever
36:09Standing on the edge of forever
36:10At the start of whatever
36:11I think it was a real healing process
36:16Not just for him
36:17But for Gary
36:18And I think for the rest of the group
36:26I saw a side of Robby
36:28Basically
36:29That I never ever thought I would see
36:36I wanted to be better
36:37I want the words to have more meaning
36:39I want them to emote more
36:41I wanted to touch people
36:44And I promise you
36:45In ten minutes
36:47The bare bones of the flood
36:49Was there
36:51And by about four o'clock
36:53In the afternoon
36:54Rob was in the booth
36:55Singing away
36:57Mark was writing lyrics
36:59Throwing stuff in
37:00Across the mic
37:01Howard played drums on it
37:03In the evening
37:04We literally had
37:05The whole thing done
37:06The first day
37:07The first day we're in a studio
37:11Over the next four days
37:14I bet we wrote
37:16Eight out of the twelve tracks
37:18That are on that album
37:20So quickly
37:21Just like that
37:26It's being billed
37:27As one of the most exciting reunions
37:29In British pop history
37:31Now take that
37:32With Robby
37:33Are back
37:33With an announcement
37:34Set to delight their fans
37:36No rumours this morning everyone
37:38Just the facts
37:39That take that
37:40Are going back on tour
37:41Yay
37:45I watched the circus
37:46With Gaz
37:47And loved the whole thing
37:48And was like
37:49Oh my god
37:49I need to be part of this
37:50And then the next thought was
37:52How do you top that
37:53This was then
37:54Fifteen years ago
37:56Now take that
37:57Are back
37:58They're reforming
37:59This time
38:00With Robby
38:01Williams
38:01They've recorded
38:02A new album
38:03It'll be released
38:03Long queues formed
38:04Phones were engaged
38:06And internet sites
38:07Crashed this morning
38:07As tickets for concerts
38:09By their reform
38:09Take that
38:10The million tickets
38:11Already having been sold
38:12Hundreds queued overnight
38:13Hoping enough tickets
38:15Would be available
38:16I never ever considered that
38:22The most insecure
38:24And emotional person
38:25In the band
38:26Was Robby
38:26And I feel quite guilty now
38:30For not recognising that
38:35Robby is not the most confident
38:36Of people
38:38He's never been great
38:39At touring
38:40He's always had stage fright
38:42Seventy thousand
38:43Seventy thousand people
38:43Seventy thousand people
38:45Is it going to one stage in it?
38:46Seventy thousand
38:50I'd like Rob to have a real ball
38:52With us
38:53I want to see him
38:55Alive on stage
38:57I've not seen it for years
38:58And if it helps him find
39:01Robby again
39:02Then that's going to be great
39:08We were in a place
39:09Where we knew
39:10We'd made a fantastic record
39:15And now we wanted to make a show
39:17That could live up to that
39:42A star so bright
39:50You find me
39:52I watch the show every night
39:53Watch their bit every night
39:54Love it
39:56All of a sudden
39:57I'm inspired
39:59There's nothing for me to do
40:01Other than being
40:02Take that
40:03Don't fade away
40:07Yeah, you and me
40:10We can ride on the star
40:13If you stay
40:15If you stay
40:24This is the perfect time
40:26And the perfect moment
40:27For that to happen
40:42Stand on
40:45I'll be able forever
40:49At the start of whatever
41:00To be able to see him
41:01Up on stage
41:02I was really happy for him
41:04We were like a caveman
41:09But we mapped the moon
41:13And the star
41:14Then we forgave him
41:19I mean, he's a fantastic performer
41:22We will meet you
41:23Where the lights are
41:26The defenders
41:28Of the faith we are
41:31And then to be able to see him
41:33Blossoming
41:34It was brilliant
41:48Every single time
41:50With our bit
41:51In the show
41:52I've absolutely loved it
42:05If we hadn't have come back
42:07As a band
42:07We wouldn't have seen Rob again
42:10We needed to come back again
42:12As equals
42:23I think Rob was able to find himself again
42:28In some ways
42:46This is it
42:48Wembley Stadium
42:52But we knew what was coming
43:00Sunshine
43:01Very happy
43:03Very happy
43:09Me, Mark and Howard
43:11We knew
43:13That things were changing
43:21For Robbie
43:22This was one album
43:23And one tour
43:24We all knew that
43:35See you, Rob
43:36This was great
43:37Thanks, mate
43:39It's been bloody brilliant
43:51We all celebrated
43:55On our last night
43:56Of the tour
44:01It was lovely for us
44:03To have Rob back
44:07I'm so glad it happened
44:10To be able to
44:12Heal, reflect
44:14Rejoice
44:18And that'll stay with us
44:19All forever
44:28After that last show
44:29Jason sat us all down
44:31And said, listen
44:33I don't want to be
44:34In the band anymore
44:35And I think I'm done
44:40He went, lads
44:41I just don't want to do this
44:43I just don't want to do it
44:47But it was really sad
44:48Because
44:50Jason felt
44:51Like one of my best friends
44:54I felt like
44:55We had so much in common
44:58We're from
44:59Council houses
45:00And big families
45:02Down to earth
45:03People
45:05I'd had many laughs with
45:07And made a laugh
45:10So many times
45:14But it was a scary time
45:17Because I almost felt like
45:18I was going back to
45:2096 again
45:23It just was a very uncomfortable feeling
45:26I didn't really know
45:28Where to turn
45:30It was a big
45:31A big moment
45:32For us
45:33Because now
45:34We'd gone from
45:35Five on stage
45:38To three of us
45:40We'd lost two members
45:42We had this conversation
45:44About it
45:46Hey
45:46Howard
45:47Do you know
45:47Do you think we should
45:49Carry on as a three?
45:51And he literally
45:52Took the words
45:53Out of my mouth
46:12The only thing we don't like
46:13On there
46:14Is the cauliflower cheese
46:15Do you not like cauliflower cheese?
46:17No
46:18What's wrong with you?
46:19It's too cheesy
46:20What?
46:21And it's cauliflower
46:22What's wrong with cheese?
46:28We've done every
46:30Formation of Take That
46:31A five
46:32A four
46:34A five again
46:36A three
46:37These boys have been
46:38Topping the charts
46:39For over 13 years
46:41We've now been a three
46:43The longest we've been any
46:45Variation of the band
46:46But I still think
46:48We're learning
46:49And finding our place
46:50British musical royalty
46:52It's Take That
46:53We're not
46:54Young whippersnappers anymore
46:56But we're still out there
46:58Selling tickets
46:59And we're hungry
47:02An incredible 12th number one
47:04For Take That
47:04These days
47:05That gorgeous audience
47:07I want to go around
47:08And kiss them all
47:08One by one
47:09Because they've loved us
47:11And they've made us part
47:13Of their lives
47:14For years and years
47:16And they still keep coming
47:19I can't imagine my life without it
47:21Without those guys being in my life
47:25At the heart of my world
47:28Is Take That
47:29And they've come so far
47:32And they've reached so high
47:35And they've gone to the issue
47:37And died in the eye
47:40And they're still so young
47:43And they're home for more
47:53They've come a long way
47:55But we're not too sure where we be
48:03Never forget
48:04It's a song that is relevant
48:06Towards as a band today
48:08As it was the first time
48:10We ever performed it
48:18Howard for me is like
48:19The backbone of the band
48:23Never forget is the most fitting song
48:25For him to sing
48:29Because the band is in that song
48:32Meeting the other lads for the first time
48:34A little bit nervous
48:36A little bit shy
48:38Every outfit
48:43Every award
48:48Every part of Take That
48:57Every high, every low
48:59Rob leaving
49:01Jay leaving
49:03It resonates with me every time
49:08And when you throw your arms up in the air
49:10And you're going never forget
49:11You are reaching for the freaking sky
49:13Everybody
49:18Gary and Mark
49:19Rob and Jason
49:21They're very inspiring
49:22They mean a lot
49:23You know I love them
49:24Of course I do
49:24I love them
49:28They've been great friends to me
49:30Everybody sing
49:32I mean they drive me crazy
49:34But I bloody love them
49:38We sang, we danced
49:39We tried to send ourselves up a lot
49:42And not take ourselves too seriously
49:46And I was so proud of it
49:53What we've all got together is really magic
49:56We were the best boy band
49:59It's probably ever been
50:00It doesn't matter what happens next
50:03It doesn't
50:04Because we've done it
50:08You know the problems
50:10And the ups and downs
50:11And it was all worth it
50:14It honestly was
50:39Silver and gold
50:42I want to see
50:45All of the callers
50:49I know I can be
50:51But you see the days
50:55The skies don't shine
50:59And then you put your hand in mine
51:06And my heart comes alive
51:10All the stars turn bright
51:13A million times
51:15In your arms and mind
51:18And I want
51:20To let you know
51:25You're a superstar
51:27And I'm yours
51:31And I need
51:34To let you know
51:36I'm a superstar
51:40I'm a superstar
52:07And I'm yours
52:09And I'm yours
52:09And I'm yours
52:09And I'm yours
52:09And I'm yours
52:10And I'm yours
52:10And I'm yours
52:10And I'm yours
52:10And I'm yours
52:11And I'm yours
52:11And I'm yours
52:12And I'm yours
52:12And I'm yours
52:12And I'm yours
52:13And I'm yours
52:14And I'm yours
52:16And I'm yours
52:16And I'm yours
52:16And I'm yours
52:17And I'm yours
52:18And I'm yours
52:18And I'm yours
