Hawkwind: Do Not Panic
Hawkwind: Do Not Panic BBC Four 21:00 hrs
"Told for the first time, the inside story of Hawkwind, one of Britain's wildest acid rock bands. They emerged from the Ladbroke Grove underground at the end of the 1960s, trailing the radicalism of the counter-culture in their wake, and have been a direct influence on punk, metal, dance and rave - as well as pioneering multimedia rock shows with their legendary Space Ritual tour, and leading the free festival scene from its birth to its apogee at the last Stonehenge in 1984.
Unruly, anarchic, and often at war with themselves, Hawkwind are one of the last great outsider bands. Although the testimony of guitarist and founder member Dave Brock isn't present, the film includes interviews with some of the band's enduring legends, including bassist Lemmy, writer Michael Moorcock, founder members Terry Ollis, Nik Turner and Mick Slattery, former managers Doug Smith and Jeff Dexter, leading rock critic Nick Kent and broadcaster and super-fan Matthew Wright. Strong language."
Enjoy.

I met Lemmy in the Camden Music Machine (as it was called then) -- I was there to see Iggy and the Stooges back in 1978 or 1979. Saw Lemmy at the bar and although I'd never met him before he treated me like an old mate. We had few beers together and talked a bit about his time in Hawkwind and then the early days of Motorhead. Absolutely top geezer, no pretences whatsoever and a really nice guy to know.
