I've been reading (on the web) about Radio Caroline, the pirate radio featured in "The Ship that Rocked" released in the US as "Pirate Radio". Fascinating stuff, in many ways more exciting than the movie.

It is a story of a government obsessed with controlling what can be broadcast and a group who fought back. Walnut and sledgehammer stuff, rather than David and Goliath.

And the story continues to this day.
