A new Take That documentary on Netflix charts the rise and fall, then rise again, of one of the UK’s biggest boybands. Directed by David Soutar, the three episodes are narrated by current members Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, while also featuring archive interviews from their former bandmates Robbie Williams and Jason Orange.
Soutar told The Independent that he had urged the band to trust his team to tell their story, thereby ceding creative control. In a “sadistic” kind of way, he admitted, it was gratifying to see how the final cut “made them feel what they felt back then; really tough, complicated feelings. They said it was a tricky thing to relive those moments – they all worked very hard to get where they are now, personally and professionally.”
