Heard on the radio today that this doco on the Sex Pistols will be shown on ABC2 at 8:30 on Wednesday evening.

Has anyone seen it and is it any good?

quite good from memory but it was a good few years ago
the guy who made this one also made the Great Rock n Roll Swindle
The Filth and the Fury is more about the band members the Swindle was

might have to watch it again

10/10 !!!
My wife and I saw it when it first came out at the cinema, and then bought the DVD as soon as it was available. We loved it, with both of us being 15 in 1977 we are BIG fans (still) of The Pistols.

Pretty damn good.

Nowhere near as much hand-relief as The Great Rock'N'Roll Swindle.

Hopefully when it's finally re-released on DVD the extras include Johnny Rotten's appearance on Judge Judy...

Excellent...saw it at the Palace cinema when it first came out and absolutely loved it!!

Do yourself a favour and take a look

Got the hard drive taping it

Look forward to having a look again

Have always caught bits and pieces when it's been on in the past. Watched the whole thing tonight, very good

It is one helluva doco - a nice summary of the bands' music, exploits and impact. Enjoyed the outraged reaction from the powers-that-were at the time such as local councillors and assorted frumpy types!

Don't know why they had the contemporary interviews with the band members as silhouettes though?

Also no mention of the supposedly famous gig in Manchester that inspired Joy Division and others (The Buzzcocks??).

Good review of the show in Indaily:
