Take That - Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald - are the biggest band in Britain.

Since their 2006 comeback after a decade in the wilderness, they have sold close to five million albums.

'The Circus', released last December, topped the charts for five weeks. The Circus live show was the fastest-selling tour in UK history. The Wembley concerts alone are a staggering achievement. No other group - not U2, not Coldplay, not Oasis - attempted to sell more than three nights there this year. If nostalgia accounted for the immediate success of their return, then it's something else that is sustaining this second act in the life of the nation's favourite former boy band.

"Our story is too complicated to sum up in a few lines," says Gary. "If we'd tried to plan it like this it would never have happened."
