Take That

Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Barlow acts as the group's lead singer and primary songwriter, with Owen and Williams initially providing backing vocals and Donald and Orange serving primarily as dancers.

The group have had 28 top 40 singles and 17 top 5 singles in the United Kingdom, 12 of which have reached number 1, as well as having seven number 1 albums. Internationally the band have had 56 number 1 singles and 37 number 1 albums. They have received eight Brit Awards—winning awards for Best British Group and Best British Live Act.

Robbie Williams left the band in 1995 while the four remaining members completed their world tour and released a final single before splitting up in 1996. After filming a 2005 documentary about the group and releasing a new greatest hits album, a four-piece Take That without Williams officially announced a 2006 reunion tour around the UK, entitled The Ultimate Tour. On 9 May 2006, it was announced that the group were set to record new material together once again; their fourth studio album, Beautiful World, was released in 2006 and was followed up with The Circus, in 2008. The group achieved new success as a four-piece, scoring a string of chart hits across the UK and Europe while taking the number of records sold to 45 million worldwide.

    Program synopsis

    Take That was a comedy series, one of the earliest such series produced for Australian television, and is sometimes considered to be Australian's first sitcom. The series was produced by Crawford Productions, who also produced several other 1950s-era series like the game show Wedding Day and the children's series Peters Club.

    Cast

    Cast included Philip Stainton, Irene Hewitt, Frank Rich, Keith Eden, and Joff Allen.

    The archival status of the show (which was broadcast live) is not clear; Although Kinescope recording existed, many early Australian broadcasts of the period were not recorded.

    Scheduling

    For some time the series aired in a 15-minute time-slot 7:00PM on Wednesday, was preceded by a brief newscast and followed by another 15-minute series titled Teenage Mailbag at 7:15PM, itself followed at 8:00PM by an American program (The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin). At some point in 1959, the series aired on Saturday at 5:30PM, preceded by These Were Hits (consisting of clips from the series Hit Parade) and followed at 5:45PM by Cavalcade of Sport.

    Up and down
    I love a merry-go-round
    You went your way, I went my way
    Said you'll see me down life's highway
    Not black or white
    As chrystal clear as a cloudy night
    Traveling in the name of lonely
    I was only home when you held me
    Yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To emerge from the shadows
    Yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To come knocking at my door
    And it's here,
    Where I've come home to.
    Right here
    Everything I hold on to is here
    All the things I keep so dear.
    Flying home tonight
    As far away as a satelite
    Keeping your heart in my pocket
    Hope to God that I don't drop it
    Yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To emerge from the shadows
    Yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To come bursting through my door
    And it's here,
    where I've come home to
    Right here
    Everything I hold on to is here
    All the things I keep so dear
    I hear
    Oh what a time to come back
    Oh what a time to come home
    Oh what a time to come back
    Oh what a time
    Up and down,
    I love a merry-go-round
    You went your way, I went my way
    Said you'll see my down life's highway
    yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To emerge from the shadows
    yeah it's a hell, a hell of a time
    To come knocking at my door
    And it's here,
    Where I've come home to
    Right here
    Everything I hold on to
