The Boat that Rocked
The Boat That Rocked, when I saw the blurb on this film it immediately took my mind back to the early days of Radio Caroline, before that there was little or no "Pop Music" on the radio, certainly not on the BBC. The Pirate Radio stations eventually forced the BBC to launch Radio 1, the good old days as they say

I loved Pirate Radio and it was Tony Benn who closed them down, making it a criminal offence to give them food! He pretended it was messing up the emergency services which was absolute rubbish and so we ended up with the xxxxxx awful Radio 1

Re: The Boat that Rocked
Didn't know a thing about this until I noticed this thread...what a great film this looks! Radio Caroline North (and Radio London, whose signal could be picked up at night up North) were the soundtrack to my life in the mid-60's. Must go to the pictures to see this film ASAP!

Re: The Boat that Rocked
Cheers, Wadey. Sounds very enjoyable, and a great soundtrack. As the review concludes, "just close your ears when Duffy starts up."
