Although this film is fiction, it is (very loosely) based on the story of the UK offshore broadcasters of the Sixties, when a number of stations (not just one!) entertained millions in the UK, on the continent and in Scandinavia. The ships were anchored in the North Sea and the Irish Sea and some stations were based on ex-WWII forts in the Thames estuary. Even the film’s fictional ‘Radio Rock’ wasn’t sited ‘in the middle of the Northern Atlantic’!

After checking out this clip of Pirate Radio I’m definitely going to see it. It looks like it’s going to be funny and I know the music is great. This is going to be something to see especially with all the rock hits I love. I even found out that the movie has its own online radio station on iheartradio.com/pirateradio that I could listen to on my blackberry. Its sooo cool. Listening to it makes me so anxious to see the movie I can’t wait!
