Network 21: The Illegal TV Station You Could Tune Into in 1986

The latest Curious British Telly video takes a look at one of my favourite subjects: pirate television. Few people are aware that it was possible, even less know that it actually happened in Britain in the 1980s.I've written about the subject a few times in the past, but now it's time for a video on this little known subject. In particular, the video focuses on Network 21, the most ambitious of Britain's pirate television stations. They appeared in 1986 and weren't around for long, but they represented a short, sharp shock for the established broadcasters. Enjoy, and please leave a like on YouTube.
