- It was, incontestably, the pop story to end all pop stories, the unlikely triumph to beat all unlikely triumphs. When Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen released "Patience", the first single from the second coming of Take That on November 20, 2006, it was more than a decade since the band's famous split, and the world, it seemed, was ready for them.
