A story of seven originals, whose collective graft, energy and talent took them from the sweaty depths of the Hope and Anchor's basement to the Top of the Pops studio. In their own words they each look back on shared adventures. Playing music together, riding freight trains, spraying graffiti and stealing records.

Each individual member of ska-pop legends Madness looks at the journey from the Hope and Anchor basement to the "Top of the Pops" studio, in this intimate celebration of the band's fortieth year.
