Vile Pervert: The Musical is a 2008 film written by and starring Jonathan King, produced by Revvolution Movies. In the film King plays all of the 21 different character roles, many of which are based on real-life personalities from King's own life, most noticeably throughout his arrest and legal trial as part of Surrey Police's Operation Arundel, targeting suspected perpetrators of alleged crimes spanning back several decades.
The full story of Jonathan King is pieced together by Jon Ronson, through interviews with his friends, the police and his victims. Taking us through his life and career, Ronson tells the story of the pop impresario who, in the 1970s and '80s, preyed upon teenage boys, using his fame and his money to lure them into having sex with him. This is also the story of King's exploits at the now infamous Walton Hop disco, where he and others picked up impressionable youngsters
Documentary about the influential pop composer and record producer Joe Meek, who died in dramatic circumstances in 1967 after a bizarre childhood and a career, often controversial, which spanned the period from the mid-50s to the rise of the Beatles in the 60s. At the end of his life he was suffering from paranoid delusions that people were watching him through walls. Alan Lewens' film charts an Ortonesque tale of post-war Britain.
