Broadcast
magazine writes "Ex-Big L DJ Pete 'Dum Dum' Drummond has written
a two-part documentary 'The Radio Revolutionaries', tracing the history
of pirate radio from the 1930s. The 2x60' programmes, were produced
by Nick St George, for independent company Heavy Entertainment. Hopefully,
a documentary that was written by a genuine ex-offshore jock will
prove less 'dum' than previous Radio

Hollingdale & Peter Moore. with clips from Tony Blackburn, Kenny
Everett & Johnnie Walker, plus jingles, ads & music"
