"The Boat That Rocked" 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.

Movie Trivia

• Also known as "Good Morning England" in France, "I Love Radio Rock" in Italy, "Pirate Rock" in the United States and "Radio Rock Revolution" in Germany.

• The ship used for filming was the MV Timor Challenger, and much filming, both day and night scenes, was done in Portland Harbour (venue for the 2012 Olympics sailing) near Weymouth. The red paint scheme was based on that of the MV Ross Revenge, which was the Radio Caroline pirate ship from 1983-91, and is nowadays maintained as a museum by volunteer enthusiasts, who assisted with several aspects of the film, including loaning many of the broadcasting and ship props.

• This film is very loosely based on Radio Caroline, a popular pirate radio ship with a similar history and style to 'Radio Rock'. It was director Richard Curtis's intention to weave a fictional story around the many pirate stations of that era, rather than create anything directly factual.
