Pirate Radio is neither historically accurate enough (it can't even stick to its year of 1966 to provide its tunes, some of which came out a little
after («Jumpin» Jack Flash» is from 1968, as is «So Long, Marianne» by Leonard Cohen, to name but two) to provide interest in a bit of pop culture history, nor is it consistent enough to sustain its good
cheer without collapsing from the weight of its own cutesy manipulations in its characters for laughs, It's not so
much a story as it is a collection of sitcom moments meant to induce laughter and mirth, mixing it with all of the best rock tunes of its era.
