Gary, Mark and Howard join Alan to talk about the new Netflix Take That documentary - and things immediately descend into chaos.
From Ibiza, the Maldives, and safari mishaps to archive hoarding, early leather outfits, holiday run-ins with authorities, and being driven away from huge gigs in a Fiat Punto. Add silly hats, Colin the Caterpillar, celebrity holiday spots and Alan appearing in the documentary itself, and you’ve got one of the funniest Life’s A Beach episodes yet.
