Pistol (Danny Boyle's Sex Pistols Programme)

[SteveDave]

I know this is only a short teaser...

...but Lordy this looks bad.

[Rizla]

Christ.

Who's the lass saying "I want to burn this city to the ground" meant to be, Caroline Coon?

Danny Boyle wants boiled. Who is meant to watch this? What a colossal load of redundant pish.

I've just remembered it's based on Jonesy's book, isn't it. Hence that grandiose line about waking up the country or whatever. Well it had better include a depiction of the time he ate five pie'n'mash in one day.

[Joe Qunt]

That doesn't look bad. It looks fucking shite.

Read on Twitter that it's Jordan. Shame they've got the shit one from Game Of Thrones to play her though.

[Glebe]

Looks incredibly cheesy. Lydon not happy about it in case you haven't heard:

She sounds like Toyah

[Joe Qunt]

Lydon can suck a syphilitic cock.

[Glebe]

Lydon can suck a syphilitic cock.

Just another of his many talents!

Weird timing with that fictional Jordan just after she passed away (RIP Jordon).

[Jockice]

Apparently the promo pics show the Pistols giving middle finger insults. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it always the two-finger v-sign insult used in Britain in the 70s?

[Jockice]

Vivienne Westwood? At a guess.

I'd put money on it, yeah.

It's Jordan.

I think these were some behind the scenes shots...



That's supposed to be Sid on the left...I hear the cunt playing him laughing and saying "Ohhh that's so random!"

[Ballad of Ballard Berkley]

It's Jordan.

It's not Jordan who says that line. It's someone with dyed blonde hair who's probably supposed to be Vivienne Westwood.

Anyway, I agree that this looks awful.

[Rizla]

She sounds like Toyah

I thought that for a second then I remembered she wanted to turn this world upside down, not burn it. And yeah, no-one in britain did one-finger "vickeys" before 1986.

RIP Jordan. Awful to see her memory and image are being shat all over like this.

I wonder who will play the drummer from Eater. I wonder who will play Gene October.

[SteveDave]

Jude Law's daughter is playing Soo Catwoman and the woman playing Vivienne Westwood has been married to Elon Musk...twice. TWICE!

[Joe Qunt]

I wonder who will play the drummer from Eater. I wonder who will play Gene October.

I wonder who thought this was a good idea.

Kiera Knightly on the left there.

[kalowski]

No. It's Daisy whotsit from Star Wars isn't it. With Micheal MacIntyre on the right.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

It looks like the sort of thing that Daniel Radcliffe would happily be involved in to show his "range", if he wasn't too old for any of the parts.

[mrClaypole]

Jesus it looks awful. Rotten got a right slagging off trying to stop this. I think we can see why he didn't want anything to do with it.

[Pauline Walnuts]

He's too old to play Steve Jones' willy in The Great Rock and Roll Swindle?

[mrClaypole]

He's too old to play Steve Jones' willy in The Great Rock and Roll Swindle?

Maybe one of McLaren's balls from the same film?

[Pauline Walnuts]

Refuses to dye his hair ginger.

He has far too good judgement for this shit. He is playing Weird Al Yankovic is a biopic, which sounds like much more fun

Fackin 'ell, tell ya wot, dat looks a riite laod of old cobblers.

Either do the "Walk Hard" parody version of the story or try and get it right, I don't understand this middle approach where a laughable pantomime is presented as a serious depiction. Why are they all talking as if they're in possession of 45 years of hindsight? The Pistols lads weren't going on about "kicking this country awake", they were bickering, getting drunk and moaning that Lydon couldn't sing like Rod Stewart

Almost as if they shouldn't be making a series about one of the most overrated bands in history in the first place!

[Pauline Walnuts]

Who Killed Bambi?
D.O.A.: A Rite of Passage
The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle
Sid and Nancy
The Filth and the Fury
There'll Always Be an England

I'm sure there's a lot more to say about this group and their one (studio) album.

[Head Gardener]

 Lydon was right to distance himself from this shite.
