The Sex Pistols became nationally famous, or notorious, when they swore on live TV on December 1, 1976.

Singer Johnny Rotten let slip one rude word on the London regional current affairs show Today.

But guitarist Steve Jones launched into a foul mouthed tirade, goaded by presenter Bill Grundy.

From then the nation became aware of punk rock and the Sex Pistols were its pioneers.

This spring, in Dover, Deal and Folkestone, director Danny Boyle filmed a TV drama called Pistol, based on Jones' memoirs.
