I love pop band stories. There’s the touring around small clubs in a van, best friends, screaming girls, Top of the Pops, the jealousy, drugs, drink, break-up, and if you’re lucky, they all survive for a reunion or two. It’s all there in Take That (Netflix), so good it might be better than Wham!, released in 2023.

The advantage here is that they are still around to tell the story. Better still, they’re all bright, open, and reflective.
