Pictures of Status Quo: 40 Years of Hits

They have been playing together for over 40 years, they are considered the hardest working band in the UK. This is the definitive history of Status Quo; a no-holds-barred look at the band from the members' perspective that goes from their origins in the early 60's to the present day. We have been given unprecedented access to the band on tour, in rehearsals and at their own homes, with intimate personal portraits of past and present members. We follow Status Quo on their 'Pictures' tour while the irrepressible Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi provide fascinating insights about the band. They talk of the highs and lows, their triumphs and scandals; and how they came to write some of the most iconic rock songs of the 20th century. We have unearthed some of their most classic performances and rare footage, as well as filming them performing at some of the biggest venues in the UK. This isn't just another story of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll (even though there is a lot of that). This is the story of a band who started as rebels and ended up as an institution; this is a story of two friends who really did 'Rock all Over the World'; this is the story of the mighty Status Quo.
