JK2006	Films and TV seem incapable of painting complex characters or situations these days. I loathed that Ship That Rocked film - pirate radio was so extraordinary, important, varied, funny, tragic and fascinating. It deserves an in depth movie. Likewise Joe Meek who deserves a far more detailed examination of his life and talent. An incredible complicated and deep story. I fear our species simply cannot cope with real tales anymore. Which is why Wolf Hall is so good. Rylance is fantastic but read the book.

Joe Meek was an extraordinary talent; our greatest British record producer (though dear Clem Cattini, over lunch a few years ago, gave that plaudit to me). Of course, Joe was also (we assume) a murderer - though he's never described by the media as Murderer Joe Meek. Like Phil Spector (another music genius), he is correctly described as a Record Producer, and frequently has his music played and praised on radio and TV. I suppose that it simply reflects the Good Story (although surely Murder is as good a story as a Vile Pervert?). I was very disappointed with Telstar, acting was also very over acted.
