If their are any books of note that accurately tell the story of the "pirates", I would love to read them.

Those of us who love the offshore stations were very disappointed with it, as were most of the former DJs who served on those stations.<br /><br />The film was supposed to be a fictional comedy, set on a fictional ship and not based on any one particular station. Basing the plot loosely around the offshore radio story has only served to confuse people who are unfamiliar with the facts. The real story - yet to be told - is much more interesting.<br /><br />It's also unfortunate that the film-makers didn't stick to the music of 1966/7 for their soundtrack, seeing as that is the period when it is supposedly set. Some of the tracks are well outside of the Sixties.<br /><br />However, I've read a surprising number of reviews by people on both sides of the pond who loved the film!<br /><br />If you want to hear the music that was played on the pirates and is rarely heard anywhere else these days go to www.oldiesproject.com<br /><br />Mary Payne, Radio London webmasterMary Paynehttp://www.radiolondon.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
