Take That to mark 30th anniversary with show

A one-off show to celebrate Take That’s forthcoming 30th anniversary is to be broadcast on the BBC.

Entitled Take That and Us, the programme will feature fans sharing their stories of how the boy band touched their lives.

The group, which consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen, will recall their favourite memories and show previously unseen footage they have shot over the years.

The singers said: “Has it really been 30 years? There’s only one way to find out, we said, as we accepted the offer of taking a closer look at our three decades in music.

“We’ve handed over our own personal camcorders from the 90s, we’ve asked fans to share their stories from over the years and we’re bringing the story up to date by sharing some behind the scenes from our lives today as we prepare for the launch of our Greatest Hits record.”

Take That formed as a fivepiece in 1989 with Robbie Williams and Jason Orange also in the line-up.

The group have already announced a UK arena tour, including three concerts in Glasgow, and a greatest hits album to mark their anniversary. Take That and Us will be broadcast later this year.
