Fun fact: This is why we have Ofcom nowadays.

Brilliant! I was working in London and staying at a B&B (lyncroft Gardens) in Ealing the night that the original interview went out live; my work mate shouted me from our room to the telly room with, "come and look at these herberts" and I took to them immediately! Next morning I bought the newspaper "The Filth and the Fury" which I kept until very recently!

This has to be the best portrayal of Johnny Rotten I've ever seen! Kudos to the actor. And that Freddie backstory fanfic is a gem! Brilliance all around...never been done better, never will be.

Perhaps i can start rebelling all over again, after I've watched and really loved watching this several more times. Thank F**k they helped times change.

This is the real deal as far as dramatizing The Sex Pistols. The actors even look and sound like them. All Urban Myths needed to do was produce four more chapters (Getting together - Anarchy Tour/bans - Record Companies/God Save The Queen/Record Bans/God Save The Queen Reaches Number One during Jubilee denied number one listing on the charts/Album Cover Court case - Last UK show/U.S Tour.

5:31 It was a night out, they were going to remember, for a very long time...

They failed to put across that stuffy mainstream media types wouldn't have been fully aware at the time what a "punk group" was. This drama gave the impression at the beginning when Queen postponed that this "punk group" represented something they, even Grundy was familiar with when quite clearly in 1976 the Pistols would have been their first experience of this latest youth phenomenon.

This version of pretty vacant was after glen left steve played bass on it and guitar 🎸
