While I was busy making educational TV programmes, others were having "the best days of their lives".

I'm talking about the 1960s when Pirate Radio came to the UK and shook up all those stuffy governmental and BBC types. If you're reading this in the USA you'll have no idea just what this meant to us Brits; see the fim when it comes out and you might have!

As my 23 (soon to be 24) year-old daughter would say, I am, SOOOooo going to be first in the queue to see this when it comes out.

In fact, come on Handmade Films, stump up a couple of tickets to the Premiere for all this free publicity I'm giving you! Think about it - it would be positively unethical, if not illegal, to have a premiere for this film without a sizeable contingenent of the listeners whose lives and loves British Pirate Radio changed. (Actually I'll have three tickets, please, my mate Neil would like one too).

Seriously, everyone, see the film! Oh yes, but don't believe everything you see - it was twice as bad (or should that be good?) as the film shows!

It should be worth seeing just to listen to the soundtrack - all those great mid- to late-60s numbers at cinema quality - oh yes!

I've chosen the International Trailer to head this post - it explains a bit more for those of you who weren't lucky or privileged enough to have spent your teenage years living through it in the UK. The video below is what the makers term Trailer "D" and is a little more "to the point"! ;-)
