It's an excellent movie - the acting is splendid and the story is 
fascinating.

I'm told that the scenes that feature what appears to be a BBC 
transmitting station, with long rows of racks full of meters and such, 
each topped with the name of an area of the British empire, is actually 
the historic Battersea power-generating station, and I rather doubt that 
the scene near the very beginning that purports to be inside a BBC 
studio looks much like a real studio - it's all marble walls, which 
would have made for one echoey broadcast.

But that's just nitpicking; there are indeed lots of nice vintage radios 
to be seen!
