Punk and New Wave thread.

Yes. The actress who plays her looks the part and features in quite a few scenes in a couple of episodes but does not have a large speaking role.

As for the earlier episodes, the worst one focuses on ‘Pauline’ who, of course, inspired the song ‘Bodies’. Not having read Jones’s autobiography, I don’t know whether the series plays fast and loose with what actually went on but it was an execrable piece of drama that nearly made me give up on the whole series.

Thankfully, things got better after that.

One episode to go.

Glen Matlock on this morning. Says it is basically a work of fiction using the Sex Pistols characters. Also said Steve Jones book was a work of fiction or he had a poor memory

All of which was Johnny's reason for wanting nothing to do with it

Pistol review – Danny Boyle’s wonky Sex Pistols show is like Punk: the Panto! | Television | The Guardian

Johnny Rotten is the Artful Dodger crossed with an animated rodent in Boyle’s frustrating series that feels so cartoonish it falls totally flat

Has anyone watched the Netflix documentary about Johnny Moped?

Always liked his monologue on the Live at the Roxy album.

Now finished Pistol (it's just about worth seeing) and am looking for something else to see.

Have also never watched Derek Jarman's Jubilee. Is that any good?

Someone told me that Punk is dead
Who was it? A Mod or Ted?
Don't like the music, don't like the words
You can all piss off, you're a bunch of turds.

Well said Wattie.
