It cannot possibly match Kevin Eldon's inspired Amish rendering of the incident but this episode of the likable comedy recreates the teatime TV clash between tired-and-emotional presenter Bill Grundy and John Lydon's combustible young band the Sex Pistols. Anarchy on Thames, a 30-minute doc about the incident, which arguably kickstarted punk, follows.
