This is a dramatisation of the life of Joe Meek, the pioneering British record producer and songwriter who was active in the 1960s. A funny and tragic story of a man who didn't fit in and didn't much care. He did care about the music, though. Many soon-to-be-famous names crossed his path in his makeshift recording studio in a flat above a travel-goods shop in Islington. Dazzlingly acted by Con O'Neill and J J Feild in particular, it features in smaller roles Ralf Little, James Corden and even Endeavour Morse himself, Shaun Evans in a previous incarnation. A sense of place and of time is very well recreated. Very much worth watching.

I was interested in seeing this film again I am old enough to remember the new headlines of the 2 deaths and I had watched this film about 10 years ago on TV. I thing I watched a longer fuller version of the film on TV. A good story afraid the lead actor mumbled a few lines that I missed. It brought back to me those hectic days of the 1960s. I am particularly fond of the Telstar music and was interested in how it was made plus I liked the other music that was showcased.

From start to finish this film is extremely engaging, funny and sad. Not sure if everything in this film is 100% accurate but to even a Joe Meek fan like myself it is definitely worth watching.
