What is the plot?

Pistol will give an insight into the lives of British punk rock band, the Sex Pistols.

The official synopsis for the series reads: ‘The furious, raging storm at the centre of the rock and roll revolution are the Sex Pistols - and at the centre of this series is Sex Pistols’ founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones.

‘Jones’ hilarious, emotional and at times heart-breaking journey guides us through a kaleidoscopic telling of three of the most epic, chaotic and mucus-spattered years in the history of music.

‘Based on Jones’ memoir Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol, this is the story of a band of spotty, noisy, working-class kids with “no future,” who shook the boring, corrupt Establishment to its core, threatened to bring down the government and changed music and culture forever.’

What have the Sex Pistols said about the series?

The initial career of the controversial band may have only lasted for two and a half years, but the Sex Pistols are regarded as one of the most groundbreaking bands in the history of popular music.

Steve Jones, who penned a memoir on his time in the Sex Pistols, is also an executive producer of the show.

However, Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) told The Times that the series is ‘disrespectful’.

The frontman also attempted to stop his bandmates from licensing the music for the series.

Paul Cook and Steve Jones sued the lead singer in order for the songs to be featured in the series and they won the legal battle in August 2021.
