Kick Out the Jams: The Story of Xfm, from director Ray Burdis, is a retelling of the birth and development of a fledgling pirate radio station and those passionate few that would pave their own way in the pursuit of giving a voice to the growing popularity of the indie Britpop scene in the 1990s. More than that this is a snapshot of the revolutionisation of the airwaves from the voices of the DJs at ground level, the friendships formed and careers made. Even more than that this doc is a love letter to a moment in time, a year not to be forgotten and a feeling of true optimism and unbridled excitement.
Now, I do love a good documentary, especially ones that tell the stories of a time that although I wasn’t exactly well in the know about what was happening, I was aware something was happening. Music...

Sadie Frost dyed her brunette locks blonde for a film - and had far more fun than she's used to. The actress dyed her hair for her new movie Love, Honour and Obey (1999), in which she stars with husband Jude Law - and she discovered when she changed her hair she changed her personality too. She says, "It was fun and I had a really good time and it's true - blondes really do have more fun. I became too extrovert at the time and went a bit mad." But she won't be keeping the exciting look. She explains, "It was something I've always wanted to do and I will be blonde in my next movie too... It was exciting because I've never dared to be blonde as Sadie but it's different when you have to do it for a part. I could only ever be blonde for my job and for a character."...

Ray Winstone's sex life got a boost thanks to his latest film Love, Honour and Obey (1999) - after an accident with a VIAGRA pill. In one scene in the movie set in gangland Britain, Winstone had to appear to take one of the sex wonder pills. But instead of holding it inside his mouth, he swallowed. He explains, "I actually swallowed my tablet by mistake - I think I'm the first guy to take Viagra on screen. It gave me a funny feeling, but I was alright for days after. And his wife was certainly not complaining about the Nil by Mouth (1997) STAR's new potency. He adds, "My wife loved it. She had a smile on her face for weeks."...

Real-life couple Jude Law and Sadie Frost refuse to take their romance onto the big screen and get steamy for the cameras - because it would be too dull. Filmmakers have been falling over themselves to make them the next Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton but to no avail. The pair appear together in Love, Honour and Obey (1999) but Sadie is seen romancing Ray Winstone while Jude just looks on. Sadie says, "I didn't do any scenes with Jude, we just worked alongside each other. "We've got a couple of projects with our production company NATURAL NYLON but not opposite each other because I think that would be boring for us and everybody else."...
