TV fiction that included pirate radio
Can you remember the TV shows that had story lines about pirate radio stations?
So far we have recalled:
Thunderbirds. An episode where a space satellite pirate TV/radio station was operating. The main DJ was identified as Ric (fx: rifle gunshot with loads of echo) O'Shea. As far as we recall, the DJ was 'in vision' inbetween the records. However, when a record played he was replaced by a test card with the stations call letters.
(Anybody help with the episode title, or the call-sign of the station?)
Danger Man (More Details please?)
Heartbeat. (More details please?)
I remember The Lenny Henry Show back in the 1980s where Lenny's character, Delbert Wilkins, broadcasted from behind a kebab shop in Brixton. He aptly called the station/service the BBC (Brixton Broadcasting Corporation). (Contributed by Miranda Ashitey)
The Goodies' request for a broadcast license is turned down by the Post Office so to get round this they open a pirate post office so they can issue thier own one. Thus Radio Goodie is born, broadcasting from a ship (or was that a submarine?) and with only one record: A Walk In The Black Forest, which bores the one listener, a granny in a rocking chair, literally to death. Graeme, the brainy member of the trio finally flips as meglamania takes over. Facts as accurate as 30+ years since viewing will allow! Last Episode from Series 1 – 1970.

Mmm, something in there about Bill achieving 'total awareness' with the use of 'mind-expanding lemonsherbert'. (Contributed by Steve Pragnell)
