Offshore Radio on Film and TV

Offshore radio provides a unique setting for films and TV dramas and, over the years, this has been exploited by a handful of writers, producers and directors as a backdrop for their output.

Also the offshore stations, particularly in their challenge to the ‘established system’ and those who sought to maintain it, provided a rich source of material for documentary makers and this too has been reflected in a number of landmark television programmes over the years.

This Gallery seeks to record those productions which have a relevance, in one way or another, to offshore broadcasting
