  Radio On

  “The radio station where Robert is a disc jockey was based on the United Biscuits Network, which broadcast to factories owned by United Biscuits.”

  “Radio On” is one of the landmark English films of the past 45 years and considered to be a British classic. Christopher Petit, an English novelist and filmmaker wrote and directed the movie. The film is set in late 1970s Britain, in a post-punk era, and released in 1979. That was the time when Britain’s political and social state was about to change, as the Thatcher years were in their infancy. The story centres around a distant young DJ named Robert, played by David Beames, who is on a mission to find more information about his brother’s alleged suicide. His trip finds him travelling from London to Bristol, where en route, he meets a collection of unique individuals who join him on his pursuit for answers. Filmed in moody black and white that theme is continued with the film poster that was used to market the movie. Using a photograph from Sickert this original UK quad from first year of release in 1979 remastered re-release features eye-catching imagery. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect being totally original and unrestored and presented in a very high grade. Having a very limited standalone release (it was primarily screened as a double-bill with Luis Bunuel’s “L’Age D’Or”) these posters are particularly scarce and represents a hugely desirable item of music related cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: The football results read out over the car radio are from Saturday 10th March 1979.
