TAKE THAT have filmed their first music video with ROBBIE WILLIAMS for more than 15 years.

The Back For Good bandmates donned old-fashioned rowing uniforms to compete in a mock Oxford and Cambridge boat race in the promo clip for new single The Flood, which will mark the band's full reunion.

The video was filmed at Dorney Lake in Berkshire, where top rowers will compete in the 2012 London Olympics.

A source tells Britain's The Sun, "Robbie and the boys clearly got on very well. It was just like old times. They were mucking (messing) about and having fun.

"The boys were stuck in a five-seater rowing boat wearing old-fashioned white rowing kits, bearing a custom-designed Take That crest. They were told to paddle like the professionals. I think they found it quite hard. If you haven't done it before, sculling (rowing) can be pretty difficult."

And playful Williams relished his day on set - by hopping in the lake and singing with kids on set: "When they finished filming on the first day Robbie decided he needed to cool off. He jumped straight into the lake and had a little swim. No one else had the guts to join him - it was freezing!

"There were lots of little kids around and at one stage they all started singing (Williams' hit song) Angels and Robbie was pretending to conduct them."

The boy band plans to release an album and go on tour following Williams' return 15 years after he left to pursue a solo career.

«Первый раз они вопили на всю округу, - рассказали зрители на берегу. - Но когда привыкли и почувствовали в ритм - на них, как на команду, стало приятно смотреть».

Выступать на Олимпийских играть в соревнованиях байдарочников им, разумеется, не светит. А вот выступление на открытии всемирного спортивного форума, Олимпиады 2012 года - это именно то, что им предложили организаторы. Воссоединение группы «Take That» - важное событие в культурной жизни Великобритании, поэтому оргкомитет и принял такое серьезное и ответственное решение в отношении группы.

К слову, следующие тринадцатые Олимпийские игры пройдут в Лондоне в 2012 году, с 27 июля по 12 августа. Пожелаем же успеха группе в реализации всех ее многообразных планов. Пускай все у них получится!

THE BEATLES did it. So did the ROLLING STONES.

And now TAKE THAT are planning to follow in the footsteps of British music gods by performing at the legendary Hollywood Bowl.

The manband have never made it big across the Pond but they hope the return of ROBBIE WILLIAMS - who is better known Stateside than the rest of the lads - will finally see their lifelong dream of cracking America become a reality.

I revealed last week the band were planning a string of UK gigs, including Glasto, and an extension to their 50-date tour.

But they hope it will be a performance at the landmark Los Angeles music venue that will catapult them to worldwide superstardom.

Last night a source close to the band revealed to me: "It has always been the boys' dream to perform at the Hollywood Bowl. They would feel like their career was complete."

And Robbie certainly seems up for a fresh start. This week, my snapper caught the joker emerging from a river covered in towels after taking a dip during filming for Take That's new music video.

The source added: "Now that Robbie's back it's become much more of a possibility that Take That can do a show at the Bowl to launch one more bid to break America. All the biggest names have played there."

I think an appearance at the Hollywood Bowl - which has also seen the likes of FRANK SINATRA, PINK FLOYD and ELTON JOHN perform - would be the perfect place for TT to cement their position in pop history.

The 17,000-seater venue, set against the backdrop of the Hollywood hills and sign, is known for its distinctive set of arches.

LA has also become a special place for the Robster, GARY BARLOW, HOWARD DONALD, MARK OWEN and JASON ORANGE.

My band source explained: "It was in LA that the guys first put aside their differences and decided to work together again so this will take them full circle."

And I can also assure Robbie fans the singer IS Back For Good and that there's NO limited year-long contract between him and Take That.

"No dates have been discussed at all," said my source. "The lads are going to see how it goes and let fate take its course on this one."
