Great ol' good clean fun! I got interested enough to see what the real-world inspiration might be.
Funny how familiar the wikipedia photo looks:

I was quite surprised to see that the first pirate station was like 1928. That's pretty cool. It would also be good to find out about some of the characters the DJ-s were modelled on.
I have to recommend the 'Deleted Scenes' on the DVD. There's probably a whole 2nd movie there. One of the clips shows how the station managed to stay 'afloat' when the boys get out and about on the town. Won't spoil it, just watch the out-takes!
There is also an explanation for why Dave did the dirty on young Carl. He's a bastard!
