Short filmTranscript
00:10When I joined the band, I didn't really need anyone else. I didn't need any help singing,
00:18didn't need any help writing, I didn't need any help with confidence. When I came back
00:25in 2005, I was in such a bad place, I needed everyone. I needed the shoulders and the presence
00:34of everyone. And that was really the first time I felt I'd been in Take That. That was
00:42when the band started for me. We bounded into being pop stars in the 90s, not knowing what
00:51the hell was going to happen. We knew what was in the water this time. So you're a little
01:01bit more careful how much of your body you want to submerge.
01:26All of a sudden now, this is getting real. Who would have known from this documentary
01:33coming out, that they would have kick-started the old thing again.
01:38We're now doing some promotions, so we're together for a few days. It was incredibly exciting
01:45to 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,
02:00it was all in this room and I was crying under this table.
02:08It was really fucking emotional, man. I was that close to turning to the other three lads
02:18and saying, lads, this is a joke. We can't really do this. And I felt like I wanted to be
02:25sick.
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, I'm 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.
03:06And we're 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. Let'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 horns or whatever, no, but that happened.
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.
04:23He picked us all from our lives and made it happen.
04:26So 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.
05:07You 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.
06:12I 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 were a manufactured band and 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 believe the time is right to reignite interest from their
06:54fans.
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.
07:24I was wasted.
07:25I must have got into bed at like three 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 ten 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 because now we've finally got them so we're well chuffed.
08:07You 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.
08:16How does this even happen?
08:17You can do what you like.
08:20Do what you like.
08:22And maybe 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.
08:43Isn't that lovely to have taken that away?
08:44It's a massive shock to us all.
08:46We're all delighted and the tickets sold in about three hours.
08:50That's weird. Who'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, will 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. Thank you.
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. Oh, 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.
11:19When we went on stage,
11:21and it was like an out-of-body experience.
11:27I 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
11:39All I do each night is think
11:44Of all the times I close the door
11:46To 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.
12:11All I do each night is pray
12:13To be doing stuff that I really loved
12:16And that I really missed.
12:18I felt like I had some kind of worth.
12:23And it made me feel like an artist again.
12:33How you doing, hometown?
12:34Hello.
12:37I'm Jason.
12:39Hello, I'm Howard.
12:41Good evening, I'm Mark.
12:43Good evening, I'm Gary.
12:45And we are Save That.
12:52This is something I love.
12:54I love this.
12:57There's nothing like doing the gig of your life
13:01And looking right and seeing your mates there.
13:05Killing it as well.
13:07And I'm looking at these guys thinking
13:11Shit!
13:13Look at this!
13:15It's incredible!
13:16It was just brilliant.
13:18We will be the same as before
13:28That feeling of being able to do that again
13:32To be able to express yourself
13:35I realised we needed Take That
13:37And we needed each other
13:42The comeback tour was nine out of ten
13:45And the reason I say that
13:47Is because it was still a comeback tour
13:53Playing music that was ten years old
13:57It could have been a one-off
14:00And that would have been the end of it
14:03But every night there was a spot we used to hit
14:07In the show
14:09We'd do a run of songs
14:12We'd do a million love songs
14:17Relight my fire
14:19And back for good
14:22And then there was a moment right there
14:25That 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 going to come
14:42I had no idea on the style
14:46What does Take That in 2006 sound like?
14:51Music, I don't know what it is
14:54It has its own laws
14:56When a song lands and it's the right one
14:59And it's at the right time
15:00It's not an idea anyone can come up with that
15:03It just happens or it doesn't
15:06And all you can do is
15:08Be there for when it arrives
15:10And just hope that people find it
15:14It makes no sense at all
15:16That three days ago
15:18I couldn't even sit at an instrument
15:20And now I can't wait to write new music
15:25So me and Howard
15:26We got in the studio
15:28And I stood up
15:29And suddenly this song that had been in there for ten years
15:34Just came out
15:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
15:41Well, you feel
15:44Yep
15:45I'm sure
15:46Whatever you're feeling
15:50Baby
15:51Cos I
15:55And honestly
15:57It was just like
16:00Whoa!
16:04And it just felt timeless.
16:12I remember when Gaz put Patience on.
16:25And we're like, wow, that's a great song, brilliant song.
16:33And those beautiful high notes that Gary was hitting.
16:37And you could just soar away, like, ooh, off on the clouds.
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, like, the Northern Lights were above us.
17:26And it felt really magical.
17:30Things are lining up and meant to be.
17:37Come on, everyone.
17:40Oh, oh, oh.
17:41Because I, I just need time.
17:50My heart is numb, has no feeling.
17:54So while I'm still healing, just fine.
18:01For decades on, they're back together.
18:04And they're back at the top of the charts with their new single, aptly named Patience.
18:09So how long have you guys been waiting for?
18:11Since six o'clock Sunday morning.
18:13Thirty 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, a brand new band.
18:27And I was so proud.
18:29It just felt like such a hallelujah moment for us.
18:34I'm going to get four Valentine kisses.
18:37It's take that!
18:43And that song gave us the doorway to a whole new, a whole new place.
18:48The walk away with the prize here tonight.
18:50I'm so pleased.
18:52What 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.
19:05Wow.
19:06What do we do now?
19:08Spectacular comeback.
19:12Welcome aboard my boat.
19:15If 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, and this was towards the end of the band,
19:47where I approached Gary.
19:49Gaz,
19:49when we do the next album,
19:51can 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.
20:24You know, why should he have to relinquish his reward now?
20:30But the request was never,
20:33can I work on songs?
20:34It was, no, we 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, I'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, kind of shy and secure kind of bloke
21:16when I was in Take That,
21:17who just used to hide behind a smile and a nice haircut and some nice suits.
21:22Best haircut. There you go.
21:26My school started as we split up.
21:29Those ten years of writing were of massive value.
21:35That was basically Mark's apprenticeship, his 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 having a sneaky little fag.
21:55And me and him were like going 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 didn't mean Howard.
22:14So that in itself was big.
22:18It almost didn't make the record.
22:21We had to fight for it a little bit.
22:25But just to have those conversations, you 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?
22:43That song was allowing space for other people to come forward.
22:53You, you're such a big star to me.
22:57You're everything I wanna be.
22:59But just looking at home.
23:02And I want you to get out.
23:04A lot of people think it's about Rob.
23:07I think Rob thinks it's about Rob.
23:09So I didn't want to tell him it wasn't.
23:13Trying to figure it out, down, down.
23:17Your anticipation throws you down.
23:20And it's about all of us.
23:23And I knew it was about me.
23:30All of a sudden, back on this train and it's like,
23:33Wow!
23:35It's getting bigger every week.
23:38It was such a shock.
23:40For everyone.
23:46Nobody.
23:48Nobody.
23:48Nobody.
23:48Not us.
23:49Not our manager.
23:51Not our record label.
23:53Ever saw.
23:54Ever imagined.
23:56It being as big as it was.
24:00I think once we got patience, we thought,
24:02Ooh!
24:02This, this, 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.
24:42We had a fucking elephant with a woman on the back pretending to be a tail swinging around.
24:47It was just, it was mental.
24:52Tonight this could be
24:55The greatest style of our life
25:00Tonight this could be, sing
25:03The greatest style of our life
25:07OK, I want to see everyone's arms in the air
25:10Whoa!
25:12And the world comes alive
25:16And the world comes alive
25:20And it was, it was our world.
25:22We were in control of it all.
25:25It was just magic.
25:26Oh, stay close to me
25:29Whoa!
25:31Hold on, stay close to me
25:33Whoa!
25:35Watch the world
25:36Gonna lie tonight
25:40Stay close to me
25:41We didn't leave anything behind.
25:43It was like, we're going to give you everything we have.
25:46Every part of us.
25:48Every single ounce of us.
25:50And we aimed for that.
25:52You know, we 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 Take that the first time around, I was the dancer of the band.
26:19Um...
26:20And I accepted it.
26:22At the time.
26:26And I think...
26:29I don't know whether this is the time or place to say it actually.
26:36I was told...
26:38Not to bother singing.
26:40Ever.
26:46So, what do you think? Do you like our big stage?
26:50More 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.
27:15A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat
27:20Sitting there for hours in the cold
27:24Jay, he has the most beautiful voice.
27:28His tone and the way he sings is so beautiful.
27:30He never over 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
27:59Was a lot about Jay finding his voice.
28:03The journey.
28:05Christine died and now I'm here alone
28:10He always could do it.
28:12He 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.
28:36But 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.
28:48La, la, la, la, la
28:51La, la, la, la
28:53La, la, la, la, la
28:55Robbie left.
28:56We never actually had any closure.
29:07Jason promoted it quite heavy
29:08The fact that he wanted to do this thing with Robbie
29:12He wanted to get the five of us back together and make everything wonky dory
29:21I felt like
29:23To keep Jason, we've got to get Rob
29:31Robbie was in a, um, he was in a funny place at 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
29:48We'd gone round and he, he hadn't left the house for about eight months
29:53I'm fucking bored
29:55I'm scared, I'm lonely
29:57And I've said everything that I want to say in a record
30:01And he'd been wearing this same costume
30:05I say costume
30:07Because he was dressed like Demis Roussos
30:11Forever and ever, forever and ever
30:15Forever and ever
30:15You'll be the one
30:19That shall
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, what 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, er, drugs and his alcohol
30:52His addictions
30:57Basically, 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
31:09And 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 and 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, interestingly
31:53I'd called him Blobby instead of Robby one day
31:55Which I'd hold my hands up, I shouldn't have done
31:59And basically, I had to sit there and just go
32:02Yeah, I did that, yeah
32:05And it was a real fucking magical moment
32:10And then I hit him with some things I didn't like that he'd done to me
32:15Sorry, Gary, but I was always the talented member of the band
32:20When two grown-ups meet and one goes, here's my truth
32:23And they go, yeah, I'm sorry
32:26And the other one goes, here's my truth, yeah, I'm sorry
32:29There's room for movement then
32:31And in about 20, 25 minutes
32:34We'd put to bed things that had haunted us for years
32:39And it felt like we could move forward after that
32:42And then you realise that, you know, you hurt so much
32:46Because you loved them so much
32:49It healed a lot of wounds
32:54And I went up to his place one night and I said,
32:56Rob, 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 for 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 coming from London
33:34It felt like we were a meeting in the middle
33:37But then Rob's like, oh, not New York, I hate New York
33:41Too many people there, it's too crowded, I hate it
33:44I thought, well, that's the end of that then
33:47So anyway, we booked the studio
33:48And we all flew to New York, got there
33:52And as I'm checking in
33:54Two big cases of Louis Vuitton luggage
33:58Wheels past me
33:59I think, Jesus Christ
34:01And then stood behind them, bloody Robby
34:04In reception, didn't tell anybody he was coming
34:11I think we were all aware the dynamics are the risk
34:16It's the first time the five of us had 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?
34:27I thought it would be this complete, 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
34:43We have to find a way to agree with something
34:46And I don't know whether we're always going to do that
34:49Or how we're going to do it, or what's the process there
34:52We're going to keep hitting walls
34:53Actually, me personally, I'm not afraid of hitting some walls
34:56It's about us communicating properly
34:58Are you nervous, Ab?
35:00Yeah, I suppose I am, yeah
35:02What about?
35:04Erm
35:05About feeling part of it, really, I suppose
35:07You know what I mean? You've got three great writers
35:10And it's like...
35:12Howard said, we've got off the plane
35:14He said, should we make up a dance routine
35:15So we can show them something
35:17When we turn up, me and Aaron are coming like that
35:19We've got some of the lads, we're contributing
35:23Two Muppets at the back
35:25I'd actually done some instrumentals
35:28And I said, right lads, let's just start the session
35:31Press play
35:33Can I work on that one, guys?
35:35Which one?
35:36This one
35:39Shall we... yeah?
35:40Oh, what was the first one? Was that the first one?
35:42Yeah, that's right
35:43Yeah, that's right
35:43And Rob went...
35:50And we all went, wow
35:57I genuinely loved the way Robby worked as 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 at the start of whatever?
36:12Yeah
36:13I think it was a real healing process
36:16Not just for him, but for Gary and I think for the rest of the group
36:21There was more of them than I've seen
36:24Say they'd never dance again
36:27I saw a side of Robby, basically, that I never ever thought I would see
36:31No one understood
36:33We were honing back the flood
36:36I want it to be better, I want the words to have more meaning
36:39I want them to emote more
36:41I want it to touch people
36:44And I promise you, in ten minutes
36:47The bare bones of the flood was there
36:51And by about four o'clock in the afternoon
36:54Rob was in the booth, singing away
36:58Mark was writing lyrics, throwing stuff in, across the mic
37:01Howard played drums on it in the evening
37:04We literally had the whole thing done
37:06The first day, the first day we were in a studio
37:11Over the next four days
37:14I bet we wrote eight out of the twelve tracks that are on that album
37:20So quickly
37:22Just like that
37:26It's being billed as one of the most exciting reunions in British pop history
37:31Now Take That with Robby are back with an announcement set to delight their fans
37:36No rumours this morning everyone, just the facts that Take That are going back on tour
37:42Hooray!
37:45I watched the circus with Gaz
37:47And loved the whole thing and was like, oh my god, I need to be part of this
37:50And then the next thought was, how do you top that?
37:54This was then 15 years ago
37:56Now Take That are back
37:58They're reforming, this time with Robby Williams
38:01They've recorded a new album
38:03It'll be released
38:03Long queues formed, phones were engaged
38:06And internet sites crashed this morning
38:07As tickets for concerts by their reform take that
38:10A million tickets already having been sold
38:12Hundreds queued overnight, hoping enough tickets would be available
38:16All right, Bobby!
38:18You never kiss!
38:20I never ever considered that
38:22The most insecure and emotional person in the band was Robby
38:26And I feel quite guilty now for not recognising that
38:34Robby is not the most confident of people
38:38He's never been great at touring, he's always had stage fright
38:4270,000, come on
38:4370,000 people
38:4570,000 people
38:45Is it going to be one stage in it?
38:4670,000
38:50I'd like Rob to have a real ball with us
38:53I want to see him alive on stage
38:57I've not seen it for years
38:58And if it helps him find Robby again
39:02Then that's going to be great
39:08We were in a place where we knew we'd made a fantastic record
39:15And now we wanted to make a show that could live up to that
39:31He lights, he strikes, a book by me
39:44A star so bright
39:50You blind me
39:52I watch the show every night, watch their bit every night, love it
39:56All of a sudden, I'm inspired
39:59There's nothing for me to do other than being Take That
40:03Don't fade away
40:07Don't fade away
40:09Yeah, you and me
40:10We can ride on the star
40:13If you stay with me soon
40:24This is the perfect time and the perfect moment
40:27For that to happen
40:29Thank you
40:58Thank you
41:00To be able to see him up on stage, I was really happy for him
41:05We were like a caveman
41:10But we met the moon and the stars
41:15Then we forgave him
41:19I mean, he's a fantastic performer
41:22We will meet you
41:24Where the lights are
41:26For the defenders
41:29Of the faith we are
41:31And then to be able to see him blossoming
41:35It was brilliant
41:37Yeah
41:41Yeah
41:48Every single time with our bit in the show
41:52I've absolutely loved it
42:05If we hadn't have come back as a band
42:08We wouldn't have seen Rob again
42:10We needed to come back again
42:12As equals
42:13To be able to dance again
42:16But now we're gonna dance again
42:19But now we're gonna dance again
42:19Oh, why?
42:22Oh, why?
42:23I think Rob was able to find himself again in some ways
42:46This is it
42:47This is it
42:48Wembley Stadium
42:52But we knew what was coming
43:00Sunshine
43:01Sunshine
43:02Very happy
43:03Very happy
43:05Very happy
43:09Me, Mark and Howard
43:11We knew
43:13That things were changing
43:19It was brilliant
43:21For Robby, this was one album and one tour
43:24We all knew that
43:35See you Rob
43:36This was great
43:37Thanks mate, it's been bloody brilliant
43:51We all celebrated
43:55On our last night of the tour
44:01It was lovely for us to have Rob back
44:07I'm so glad it happened
44:10To be able to heal, reflect, rejoice
44:17And that'll stay with us all forever
44:28After that last show
44:30Jason sat us all down and said listen
44:33I don't want to be in 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 because
44:50Jason felt like one of my best friends
44:54I felt like we had so much in common
44:58We're from council houses and big families
45:02Down to earth
45:03Down to earth people
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 I was going back to
45:2096 again
45:24It just was a very uncomfortable feeling
45:26I didn't really know where to turn
45:30It was a big moment for us
45:33Because now we'd gone from five on stage
45:38To three of us
45:40We'd lost two members
45:42We had this conversation about it
45:46Hey Howard, do you know
45:48Do you think we should carry on as a three?
45:51And I literally took the words out of my mouth
46:11Oh, the only thing they don't like on there is 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 formation of Take That
46:31A five
46:33A four
46:34A five again
46:36A three
46:37These boys have been topping the charts for over 30 years
46:42We've now been a three
46:43The longest we've been any variation of the band
46:46But I still think we're learning and finding our place
46:50British musical royalty
46:52It's Take That
46:53We're not young whippersnappers anymore
46:56But we're still out there selling tickets
46:59And we're hungry
47:02It's an incredible 12th number one for Take That these days
47:05That gorgeous audience
47:07I want to go round and kiss them all one by one
47:10Because they've loved us
47:11And they've made us part of their lives for years and years
47:17And they still keep coming
47:19I can't imagine my life without it
47:22Without those guys being in my life
47:25At the heart of my world is Take That
47:29We've come so far
47:32And we've reached so high
47:35And we've gone to each day
47:37And died in the eye
47:40And we're still so young
47:43And we hope for more
47:53We've come a long way
47:55But we're not too sure where we be
48:03Never forget
48:04It's a song that's as relevant towards as a band today
48:08As it was the first time we ever performed it
48:11Dream of this breath of life
48:17Howard for me is like the backbone of the band
48:23Never forget is the most fitting song for him to sing
48:29Because the band is in that song
48:32Meeting the other lads for the first time
48:35A little bit nervous, a little bit shy
48:38Every outfit
48:43Every award
48:44Thank you very much
48:45Thank you
48:48Every part of Take That
48:51Face in the moon
48:52It's like that, isn't it?
48:57Every high, every low
48:59Rob leaving
49:01Jay leaving
49:03It resonates with me every time
49:06I told you this
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, Rob and Jason
49:21They're very inspiring
49:22They mean a lot, you know, I love them, of course I do
49:24I love them
49:28They've been great friends to me
49:31Everybody sing
49:32I mean, they drive me crazy
49:35But I bloody love them
49:38We sang, we danced, we tried to send ourselves up a lot
49:42And not take ourselves too seriously
49:46And I was so proud of it
49:51Everybody sing their song
49:53Everybody sing their song
49:53What we've all got together is really magic
49:56We were the best boy band it's probably ever been
50:00It doesn't matter what happens next
50:03It doesn't, because we've done it
50:08The problems and the ups and downs
50:11And it was all worth it
50:14It honestly was
50:39The human patterns
50:41Silver and gold
50:42Silver and gold
50:43I want to see
50:45All of the colours
50:48I know I can be
50:51But you see the days
50:55The skies don't shine
50:59Oh, and then you put your hand in mine
51:07And my heart comes alive
51:10All the stars turn bright
51:13A million times in your arms and mine
51:18And I want to let you know
51:23You're a superstar and I'm yours
51:31And I need to let you know
51:36I'm the superstar to just meet you
51:55And I want to let you know
52:02You're a superstar and I'm yours
52:14And I want to let you know
52:17You're a superstar and I want to let you know
