What is Pistol about?
The new show is based on the recent autobiography of Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. Toby Wallace, Louis Partridge, Christan Lees, Jacbon Slater and Anson Boon star as the Sex Pistols themselves. You can see a trailer below.
The lead singer of the band, John Lydon, has actually been against the project and even attempted to ensure that the group’s music could not be used in the series in a court case.
