IRON MAIDEN - Flight 666 To Make UK Television Premiere Tonight
BBC4 will present the television premiere of the IRON MAIDEN documentary
Flight 666 tonight (March 4th) at 11pm.
The film documents the first leg of Iron Maiden's Somewhere Back in Time world tour, which took them 50,000 miles around the planet playing 23
concerts on five continents in just 45 days.
One of the stars of the
movie is the customised Boeing 757, Ed Force One, which carried the band, their crew and 12 tons of stage equipment and was piloted by airline captain and Iron Maiden singer
Bruce Dickinson. The
film gives a close-up, behind-the-scenes look at what happened on and off stage, when
Maiden gave full access to a camera crew for the first time, and contains some of the most spectacular live footage yet seen of the band.
Taking the viewer from Mumbai to Santiago, LA to Sydney, Tokyo to San Paolo and all points between, through exhaustion and fan pandemonium, travelling with band and crew on the plane, to and from shows, in the bar and during leisure time, this really is Access All Areas.

Earlier this week, Flight 666 was nominated in the Music
DVD Of The Year category
for the 2010 Juno Awards - the Canadian equivalent of the
US Grammy Awards.
