Madness: Take It or Leave It
<div>'Before the hits came the hustle'</div><div><br></div><div>Take It Or Leave It, originally released in 1981, is the highly entertaining and brilliantly nostalgic story of how Madness, one of the most successful and enduring British bands of all time, originally got together. </div><div><br></div><div>Shot in the streets, pubs and clubs of North London, with the band playing themselves, Dave Robinson's gritty and hilarious feature stands alongside A Hard Day's Night and Slade in Flame as one of the great British pop movies. </div><div> </div><div>Filmed after Madness had enjoyed a bunch of Top 10 singles, endearing themselves to the British public with the humour of their iconic music videos, the film travels back in time to how a bunch of seven mates living in Camden Town in the late 70s formed the band. It details the jobs they left behind, the line-up changes, the rows, the laughs, and how their distinctive ska-pop ‘Nutty Sound’ evolved.</div>DramaPT1H26MU2026-10-01Graham McPherson (Suggs)
