Episode 1 of Dead Rock Stars is devoted to everyone’s favourite departed headbanger and philosopher, Lemmy. The Motörhead founder, lifelong bon vivant and lover of speed and PG Wodehouse left this mortal plane in 2015. Joel McIver spent much quality time with the great man in the 1990s and 2000s, locked in debate about the political and cultural issues of the day, whilst Mick Wall worked with Lemmy for many years and knew him as well as anyone possibly could without actually being physically intimate with the fellow. Dead Rock Stars: Lemmy follows McIver and Wall down the rabbit hole of Hawkwind, Motörhead, acid and speed marathons and the perils of writing poetry.
