On December 1 1976 the Sex Pistols made a live TV appearance on Thames Television's Today Show. They were on a segment with host Bill Grundy. Here's a clip of that appearance. Their appearance caused great public outcry and lead to much publicity for the band.
In 2017 Sky Arts started a comedy series called Urban Myths. In series 2 they did an episode about the Bill Grundy show appearance with Steve Pemberton as Bill. Here's that episode. I remember reading about the incident years ago but hadn't thought about it much again. I got a laugh or two from it.
I do remember being so excited on hearing the first Sex Pistols album in the record store. I immediately bought the album and played it over and over. I eventually moved onto someone else to be obsessive about. Occasionally I play one or another of their tracks on YouTube. I don't think I own any Sex Pistols CDs but can't be sure, all the CDs are in boxes and I don't feel liked digging through them.
