Radio On is a film directed by Christopher Petit and released in 1979. It is a rare example of a British road movie, shot in black and white and featuring music from a number of New Wave bands from the time, as well as established artists such as Kraftwerk and David Bowie. It's a grim but fascinating journey through late seventies Britain by way of a road trip from London to Bristol, with the main protagonist, (a DJ played by David Beames) attempting to investigate the suicide of his brother.
