Following a young London DJ (David Beames) on the road to Bristol to investigate the mysterious death of his brother Radio On offers a unigue compelling and even mythic vision of a late 1970s England stalled between failed hopes of cultural and social change and the imminent upheavals of Thatcherism. Stunningly photographed by luminous monochrome by Martin Schafer and driven by a startling new wave soundtrack (Bowie Kraftwerk Lene Lovich Ian Drury Wreckless Eric) - and an early screen performance by Sting - Radio On is ripe for rediscovery.
