The impact of the Sex Pistols on music and society is dramatised in a biopic from Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle. Its release on Disney+ comes just under a year after the band's frontman Johnny Rotten failed in his bid to block it.

"One of their most powerful and disturbing songs, which dominates episode three, is Bodies, which is partly about abortion," Boyle said.and is now under attack in America"So you realise that the anger with which they approach their material, it's permanent, it has a lasting power."The series is available on Disney+.

"They were authentic, they were true, and they were real or too real for the industry," said Maisie Williams, who plays the model known as Jordan who attended many of the band's early gigs."And nowadays, I think that it is much harder to find that kind of authenticity and even if we do, perhaps we just don't trust it, and we can't believe that it's real."
