Featuring the Stranglers, the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and other punk legends of the 1970s.

Featuring classic - and sometimes chaotic - performances from the Stranglers, the Damned, Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks and other legendary punk acts of the 1970s.

The late 70s had parents from all over the UK fearing one particular four letter word... punk. With anarchy spreading across the nation, the BBC managed to capture and sometimes contain some of the chaotic energy of these iconic moments in its studios. This episode provides another chance to jump up and down on the couch and pogo to performances from the Stranglers, the Damned, the Sex Pistols, the Jam, Undertones, the Rezillos, Buzzcocks, the Clash, X-Ray Spex and Joy Division.
