This "Urban Myths" episode brilliantly captures the chaotic and culture-changing television moment when the Sex Pistols met Bill Grundy. It perfectly recreates the drabness of 1970s England, providing a stark contrast to the band's anarchic energy.

Steve Pemberton is excellent as the overconfident host, Bill Grundy, while Frankie Fox delivers a surprisingly spot-on Johnny Rotten, nailing the sneering, cynical attitude. While the other band members are less developed, the episode shines with great period detail and a sharp sense of comedy, especially in its depiction of the public's outraged reaction.

A wonderfully funny and well-crafted look at a pivotal moment in music history. A must-see for punk fans.
