After the Beatles and before One Direction, another British boy band had fans enthralled. And they’re narrating their own history in the new Netflix docuseries Take That, debuting on Tuesday, January 27.
“Our story is amazing — and we were all excited about sharing it in a way people haven’t seen before” Take That member Gary Barlow told BBC News. “Some of the headlines from our early days made it seem like there was a lot more drama than there was. So, we felt that if we were going to tell our story properly, it needed to be more representative.”
