BBC4's Heavy Metal Britannia Weekend
« on: February 26, 2010, 06:37:20 PM »
Just read...

"BBC4 will be screening the Award-winning Flight 666 documentary on Thursday, March 4th at 11 PM (GMT), a very suitable starting point for their Heavy Metal Britannia weekend!

And a special one hour edit of the spectacular Maiden Live Concert (from the bonus disc in the Flight 666 DVD release) can be seen the following night, Friday March 5th at 11 PM (GMT). The concert will be shown after two BBC Metal programmes: the first is Heavy Metal Britannia (9 PM GMT) which charts the origins and history of British Heavy Metal and includes interviews with such legendary performers as BLACK SABBATH's Tony Iommi, JUDAS PRIEST's Rob Halford, MOTÖRHEAD's Lemmy and Maiden's very own BRUCE DICKINSON.

The second is Heavy Metal At The BBC (10:30 PM GMT) and is a 30 minute compilation of performances by various metal bands recorded over the years.

Both these BBC Programmes will be repeated on BBC4 on Sunday, March 7th at 9 PM and 10:30 PM respectively, with the Iron Maiden Live concert repeated at 1:30 AM (GMT) the following morning. "

Thanks for letting us know about the BBC 4 thing Dave looks interesting.

I had a look at the Black Metal clip. Hmmm lovely. Film has come a long way since The Wizard Of Oz. Anyway I expect there will be lots of nice girls to share popcorn with in the back row.  :)

Hands up how many of you thought "hang on, that's a translation of a Burzum album title" (Hvis Lit Tar Øs - IIRC the last one before Varg Vikernes' imprisonment for murder)?

Did I read somewhere that he gets out in a few years?
