Pirate Radio is an ensemble comedy in which the romance takes place between the young people of the 60s and pop music. It s about a band of rogue DJs that captivated Britain playing the music that defined a generation and standing up to a government that incomprehensibly preferred jazz. The Count a big brash American god of the airwaves; Quentin the boss of Radio Rock - a pirate radio station in the middle of the North Sea that s populated by an eclectic crew of rock and roll DJs; Gavin the greatest DJ in Britain who has just returned from his drug tour of America to reclaim his rightful position; Dave an ironic intelligent and cruelly funny co-broadcaster; and a fearsome British government official out for blood against the drug takers and lawbreakers of a once-great nation.
