Pirate Radio - not what we were expecting
The essential story is true, and worthy of a movie.

The movie they made is more soap opera than telling of the tale. Not a bad movie, but not the story of British outlaw radio in the mid 1960s.

2. Outlaw Radio actually caused the BBC to totally change its operations.
It was a BIG DEAL back then. We're still all benefiting from what they did.
