Take That Special

Steve is joined by Gary, Robbie, Jason, Mark & Howard for a special Take That Big Show. All the usual Factoids, Talkies, entertainment and lifestyle headlines but with a TT twist!

Steve is joined by Gary, Robbie, Jason, Mark & Howard for a special Take That Big Show. The boys join in with some special 'Take Factoids' in which they reveal which Gavin and Stacey star appeared in one of Mark Owen's music videos, what place in the UK stood in for a tropical beach for the Take That video for 'I Found Heaven' and which band member had football trials for Manchester United.

Even the top-notch Talkie bits have a Take That flavour - the team discuss UFOs and get the chance to read out the day's weather and the Oldies are chosen by Howard, Mark, Gary, Jason and Robbie from Manchester who go for some really varied tracks including Bobbie Gentry, ELO, Katy Perry and Bob Dylan.

Then there's also an interview with the boys discussing being back together for the first time in 15 years as well as a sneak listen to their brand new album.
