NickFrost, Ifans and Philip Seymour Hoffman play rival DJs, Bill Nighy is their boss and Branagh is the government minister not too happy about these dudes doing their thing.

Ah, I remember the days of pirate radio. Land based ones not offshore.

Making a cheap transmitter (cheap because it would be impounded if you were caught), lugging it up to the top of a tower block along with a few car batteries to power it.

Ah, fun, carefree days
