Never Say Die: Heavy Metal
The landmark music series continues with the story of heavy metal, the longest surviving, possibly the most controversial and certainly the loudest genre in the Seven Ages of Rock.
Emerging at the tail end of the 1960s from Birmingham - with Black Sabbath as its undisputed godfathers - heavy metal went on to conquer the world securing, in the process, the most loyal fan base of all. But, as the programme shows, it all began with an industrial accident in, of all places, a sheet metal factory, which changed the way one key guitarist played and with it the sound of rock.
This episode follows the highs and lows of the music that has refused to die and, along the way meets its greatest artists, including Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden and Metallica... and of course Ozzy Osborne and Black Sabbath.
