The Television Personalities - Where’s Bill Grundy Now? [ZSHARE] [YSI]

The sad tale of Bill Grundy who back in December ‘76 famously featured The Sex Pistols (Late replacements for Queen) on his show to try and expose them for what they really are. It spectacularly backfired! goaded by Grundy Steve Jones was heard to call him “dirty sod”, a “dirty old man” & progressing to “you dirty bastard”. Grundy stupidly stoked the flames even more Jones to “say something outrageous”, a challenge Jones was ready to meet. He called Grundy a “dirty fucker” and “a fucking rotter”. As the show ended, Grundy could be seen mouthing “oh shit” as the credits rolled and as the band began dancing to the closing theme. Bill himself was held responsible for Pistol’s use of language as it was his show. Grundy was suspend and the show axed two weeks later.
