Keith Richards: The Origin Of The Species

9PM, BBC2

Born in Dartford, Kent, in 1943, Rolling Stone guitarist Keith Richards (right) claims his favourite gig was when, as a 12-year-old choirboy, he sang for the Queen at Westminster Abbey. It’s hard to believe that this cherubic child would grow up to become one of the world’s most famous – not to mention notorious – rockers. This fascinating documentary by acclaimed director Julien Temple chronicles Richards’s colourful life and times, focusing on the formative events of his childhood and adolescence in postwar Britain.
