“England’s terribly boring. Nothing ever changes,” begins the trailer for the highly-anticipated Danny Boyle-directed six-part series. “We’re invisible. We’re pissed off. We’re bored,” says a male voice. “Maybe that should be our image?” responds another. And thus, against the backdrop of social unrest in Great Britain, the Sex Pistols were born.
Gurning, leering and thrusting at the cameras, the teaser clip introduces the ratty-haired band members: Louis Partridge as Sid Vicious, Anson Boon as Johnny Rotten, Dylan Llewellyn as Wally Nightingale, and Toby Wallace as Steve Jones, the guitarist whose bookThe show follows their rapid rise to fame – much to the shock of the nation – with the release of their only album, which is considered one of the most influential records ever made, but banned, at the time, by the BBC.
Also in the whirlwind trailer spliced with clips of a divided class system? Manager Malcolm McLaren , who immediately recognised the revolutionary potential of the Pistols. His girlfriend employed two founding Pistols members at her legendary Kings Road store, which drew muses like Jordan, who the director Derek Jarman described as the “original Sex Pistol”.
