Titled after the first-ever song to play on their airwaves, 'Kick Out the Jams' follows the development of XFM from its rebellious pirate radio roots in the early 90's, through to its official FM radio launch in 1997 as a major platform for launching alternative talent into the mainstream. The doc deep-dives into the struggles and influence of the station which gave rise to the likes of Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, whose global hits 'The Office' and 'The Ricky Gervais Show' were originally developed while working at the radio station.
