- London and off Harwich, Essex.
Film in two sections. First is a 'travelogue' style look at the River Thames. Second is a look at life aboard the ship that hosts Radio Caroline.
Scenic shot of mountainous British landscape with lakes and streams. Various views of riverside buildings and houseboats. Scenes beside the River Thames (possibly Richmond or Teddington?) - narrator is rambling on about Britain being an "island race ... being at our best on the water's edge." Swans. Water where it is "the Queen's Highway" - central London scenes from the Thames - views of Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, large boats, barges etc. The Cutty Sark - narrator speaks of our "swashbuckling history".
Modern piracy now - five D.J.s (Disc Jockeys) climb aboard a boat (called "Offshore 1") which will take them to the Radio Caroline ship. One is Tony Blackburn (holding an Elvis record), another is Simon Dee, - the other two are currently unidentified. "Piracy, that's what is happening here, with the connivance of almost every teenager in South East England" states the narrator. The DJs chat, drink cups of tea and look at their records on their way to the Radio Caroline ship. The DJs climb off one ship onto the other. Various shots of the studios on board ship. A record is cued up. C/U of the record on the turntable. Music plays as we are given a little tour of the ship. DJs choose records and reply to fan letters. C/U of one of the DJs with an excellent beard who is admiring a photograph of two girls that he has been sent. Tony Blackburn selects some 45s to play. Simon Dee is at the typewriter. The bearded DJ plays a record. Tony is seen recording the sound of the ship's bell. We see the ship's skipper at work. The DJs play chess on deck. Another DJ spins a disc - the fabulous Unit Four Plus Two playing "Concrete and Clay" - see other record.
Note: any assistance with names of DJs gratefully received - one might be Stuart Henry? Cuts exist - see other records.

Wow! Never saw this before! Those were the days of really good radio. And now in full color and very good quality.
Very nice video with a good feature on Radio Caroline. The Ross Revenge Caroline ship looks amazing too now (In other videos). Wish Caroline could come back on AM.
Great Radio Station.
199 Caroline , 1520 Kilocycles in the Medium waveband ... it's DEE TIME ! ( Ruff Ruff )
£15,000 a week revenue would be about 140,000 quid in 2023. Caroline was being paid 7 pounds per every record played which today would be around 140. Great to see a very young Tony Blackburn and Simon Dee in this footage.
Hi, The ship in this news irem is the Mia Amigo named Caroline South. The Mia Amigo was Radio Atlanta when it came over from the USA. I listened in Deal as the original MV Caroline sailed past as Radio Caroline North.

London was so lovely then- no high rise buildings like now.
What was the tune on the PYE label 45rpm?
Who's the lady in the beginning of the video? Just being curious.
What was 199 ? The frequency or wavelength?
199 would be the wavelength, same at Luxembourg on 208 or Radio 1 on 247. 199 would translate to a frequency of about 1512kHz.
They often used wavelengths ending in 9, possibly because it sort of rhymed with Caroline - so 'Caroline on 319' in the 80s.
I think it was Radio City.
Sorry!
