Tom Dunne: I didn't expect to see Sex Pistols and Disney in the same sentence  

Pistol on Disney+ has stirred plenty of debate online, but it's well worth a watch for its fun depiction of the punk era 

Pistol on Disney+: Jacob Slater as Paul Cook, Anson Boon as John Lyndon, and Toby Wallace as Steve Jones.

As I write this much of Twitter is in open revolt. It’s hard to see that medium, with its reputation for carefully considered, level-headed, non-kneejerk responses, so convulsed. Oddly, at this precise moment and on this precise hashtag, it isn’t airports or TV presenter’s salaries feeling its ire — it’s Disney’s new Sex Pistols drama, Pistol. 

Pistol, for those who don’t know, is a new six-part drama directed by Danny Boyle, which tells the story of the Sex Pistols. It is based on the Steve Jones autobiography, at least in part. Johnny Rotten has disowned it, which is, let’s face it, an excellent start.
