    S10 EP2: Take That (Video Edition)

    07/02/2026 | 42 mins.
    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.

About Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

Life’s A Beach sees Alan giving Judith Chalmers and Michael Palin a run for their money as he invites a famous guest each week to discuss their favourite places in the world. Bursting with anecdotes, laidback chat and laugh out loud travel tales - if this podcast was a suitcase you’d have to sit on it. “My Life’s A Beach podcast is the escapism we ALL need right now. I sat down and chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel. From caravanning in Rhyl to private jetting to the Maldives, my guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and dream destinations. Let’s face it: we might not have the sun on our faces, but after a listen to this you’ll definitely have a smile” – ALAN CARR
