Take It Or Leave It

The on-screen story of how one of the most successful and enduring British bands of all time first got together. Newly restored in 4K by the BFI, Take It Or Leave It was filmed after Madness had achieved Top 10 success and endeared themselves to the British public with the humour of their iconic music videos. Travelling back in time, Robinson’s film details how a bunch of mates living in Camden Town in the mid-70s got together to form the band, the jobs they left behind, the line-up changes, the rows, the laughs, and how their distinctive ska-pop ‘Nutty Sound’ evolved. Take It or Leave It is in select cinemas from Friday 2 October and on BFI Blu-ray/DVD from Monday 19 October.
