Radio Caroline, Britain's first Pirate Broadcaster, is celebrating 60 years on the air this year. These days it's no longer the rebel out in international waters beaming music to European listeners; it's a legal non-profit station that generates programs from a land-based studio in Britain. 

However, once a month, it originates shows from the ship, the Ross Revenge, moored in territorial waters of the Blackwater estuary off England's Essex coast. It's pure old-school nostalgia, the way it was done decades ago. ABC News London correspondent Tom Rivers is out on the ship where the broadcasters are remembering bygone days this weekend and raising funds to get the boat - which is on the U-K's National Register of Historic Vessels - into dry dock for vital restoration work.

But does Burton deliver, or is this another painful revival? ABC News entertainment correspondent Jason Nathanson shares his thoughts. 

New on streaming, a couple of shows with big-name casts; Netflix’s “The Perfect Couple” finds Nicole Kidman and Liev Schreiber as the heads of a wealthy Nantucket Island family, caught up in a murder mystery on the wedding weekend of their son. 

While Peacock’s “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” features Kevin Hart, Samuel L. Jackson, Taraji P. Henson, Don Cheadle and more, in a based-on-a-true-story tale having to do with Muhammed Ali’s boxing comeback. Jason will tell you if either show is bingeworthy.
