U.K.'s
BBC Four will screen
IRON MAIDEN's award-winning
"Flight 666" documentary on Thursday, March 4 at 11 p.m. (GMT) — a very suitable starting point for their
"Heavy Metal Britannia" weekend! 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 5 at 11 p.m. (GMT). The concert will be shown after two
BBC metal programs: the first is
"Heavy Metal Britannia" (9 p.m. 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 p.m. GMT) and is a 30-minute compilation of performances by various metal bands recorded over the years. Both these
BBC programs will be repeated on
BBC Four on Sunday, March 7 at 9 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., respectively, with the
IRON MAIDEN live concert repeated at 1:30 a.m. (GMT) the following morning.
