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.

Filmed after Madness 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, chronicling how seven mates living in 1970s Camden Town formed a 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.
