Madness Live: Goodbye to TV Centre

As the BBC makes its exit from the iconic west London site of Television Centre, BBC Four presents a special night of celebration of the building and its 53-year history. To kick start proceedings, the nation's favourite nutty boys and national treasures Madness take to the stage at the front of BBC Television Centre to perform an hour long concert in front of an assembled audience nine days before TV Centre closes its doors. To help launch this celebration of over 50 years of programme making at TVC Madness treat us to new material and classics alike, such as One Step Beyond, I Never Knew Your Name, Baggy Trousers and Our House.

A fitting tribute to one of the most iconic buildings in British TV History ..The Wood Lane offices of the BBC, and what better tribute than to have one of the most iconic of British bands ever perform. . Madness, as the building closes its doors to TV after over 53 years. I couldn't think of a more fitting band that represented the all round entertainment value that has been produced from the BBC during its lifetime . . long live the dear old "Beeb" may you be free from the claws of multimedia moguls like the Murdoch's of this world and continue to produce great family entertainment.
