New Sex Pistols drama Pistol trailer drops charting meteoric rise of punk-rock band
NEW Sex Pistols drama Pistol is sure to bring Anarchy to the UK once more.
The first trailer of the FX series has been released with Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle taking the reins of the six-episode series.
The series will chart the meteoric rise of the punk-rock band the Sex Pistols, who revolutionised London and then the world.
It comes as punk rock fashion icon Jordan, real name Pamela Rooke, died aged 66 on Sunday night after a short battle with cancer.
She will be played by Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams in the series.
Her partner Nick wrote on Brighton and Hove News: “She died peacefully a stone’s throw away from the sea in her home town of Seaford, East Sussex, in the company of her loving family at 9pm [April 3] after a short period of illness.

“She succumbed to a relatively rare form of cancer known as cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).
“Jordan was a wonderful woman and will be remembered for countless decades to come.”
Rooke was known for her collaborations with the Sex Pistols and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.
She often sported bleached hair, striking make-up and out-there clothing which helped form the punk aesthetic of leather, rubber and partial nudity.
