Noel Edmonds presents a six-part series tracing the development of pop music broadcasting, with recollections from influential DJS and rare archive recordings.
It was 'smooth sailing' on Big L. Caroline was the 'sound of the nation'. And In just three years, pirate radio changed the face and tempo of British broadcasting. Survivors from the era of swashbuckling DJS including TONY BLACKBURN, PAUL BURNETT, KENNY EVERETT, JOHN PEEL and JOHNNIE WALKER recall their bizarre lives aboard the offshore stations and some of their memorable moments.
