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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_radio_in_the_United_Kingdom
