In an unprecedented move for the BBC, the Rolling Stones guitarist will be handed the reigns of BBC4 over three nights, to curate a weekend of programming about whatever he finds interesting. Working with renowned music documentary film-maker Julien Temple, Richards has put together a line-up of films, cartoons, music clips and footage that will be broadcast on the channel between 7pm and 4am each night, offering a rare insight into the intriguing mind of the 72-year-old.

Richards was given completely free reign in his choices, which include Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps, classic Italian film Bicycle Thieves, macabre horrors The Sorcerers and I Walked with a Zombie, as well as footage of Jimi Hendrix with Keith, and Keith even giving out his own recipe for shepherd’s pie.

Well, it's certainly beats another outing for that Richest Songs in the World thing. Keith pops up all over the schedule introducing programmes and talking about whatever he likes. This could go anyway at all, but 10 out 10 for originality

Here's the Keith Richards Weekend schedule, they might slip in some extra programmes into the longer bits of Keith's Continuity:

Friday

9pm Keith Richards: Origin of The Species (Directors Cut)
In a documentary directed by acclaimed film-maker Julien Temple, the Rolling Stones guitarist looks back at his formative years in Dartford, Kent, in the aftermath of the Second World War. Ending at the point the Stones formed in 1962, the film explores, through Richards' own coming-of-age story, the cultural undercurrents and transformative thinking that occurred in Britain during the 1940s and 50s, and made possible the worldwide explosion of English rock music in the 60s, at the forefront of which were the Rolling Stones, the Who and the Beatles

But what about Keith, eh? Hopefully you can find some satisfaction on BBC Four this weekend


(sorry!)

A Tex Avery cartoon, splendid!

Hello, well after that quite mad weekend with Keith last time its back to some kind of normality, although there are some new programmes which is a novelty. Friday Night is Hip Hop Night. To be honest, its not a genre I know anything about. My only Hip Hop trivia - Derek B, who had a hit with 'Bad Young Brother' in 1998, wrote the Rap part that Brian Moore, the football commentator, performed on the Anfield Rap, Liverpool's FA Cup final record. One of the more unlikely collaborations of the Hip Hop Era ...

Also, TV Cream (great bunch of lads) got very excited about Friday's TOTP. They said "It’s the famous Steve Archibald episode, the Spurs and Scotland striker perhaps not someone you’d expect to see on this show once, let alone twice in one show. But he pulls double duty thanks to a whopping three football songs on this show, Archibald’s two sides also joined by the full England squad, all live in the studio. Indeed it really is a cast of thousands tonight, as virtually every other act - and a top line-up it is too - is live in the studio as well, along with a very, very famous surprise guest, and just to make things even more complicated, the whole show is broadcast live as well, and Michael Hurll’s even given himself the handicap of the hapless Bates as host. It all sounds more extravagant than Live Aid and we can’t wait to see how it all looks on screen, especially as it was never on UK Gold and virtually none of it’s on YouTube so its exact contents remain a mystery. We can’t wait to see it!"

Looking at big issues such as power, conspiracy, education and money, Rodney meets iconic figures including Public Enemy's Chuck D, Def Jam's Russell Simmons who created the template for the hip-hop mogul, and New York rapper Rakim, agreed by many to be the greatest MC of all time
