Thank you for your input ITK. I give it go didn't want to sit through nearly 2 hours of film that be attacking a legend or telling the viewer a different story.

Good film, andrew - well worth a watch.
Meek had so many artists that if they featured them all the film would run for days ! And didn;t he originate from somewhere like Somerset (so a Bristol accent would be appropriate)?
Very few films are totally factual - and probably would be all the more boring if they were.

Is the film worth watching ? I know it has lots of inaccuracies hardly touches his early life shows he bedded Heinz which is fictitious stars a bad actor named James Corden, no Jonathan King, no Freddie Starr, someone playing Joe Meek with a Bristolian accent but does have great music.
I love Joe Meek have every CD that's available on Amazon but to me this films to be like crippling the reputation of a legend. He manufactured Heinz like Simon Cowell does with his groups but Heinz could sing play bass but not guitar and didn't have auto tune.
