Quote:One last show at TLS!I guess they are recreating the infamous Bill Grundy interview for this
In January 2021 a press release revealed that a Danny Boyle-directed 6 episode drama series about the Sex Pistols was in pre-production. The show is called Pistol and is being made by FX, a subsidiary of Disney. Although FX is a US TV channel, shows made for them are often shown in the UK on other networks and streaming services.
My understanding is that the drama is based at TLS - with the first 7 floors of Kent House being occupied by production offices. I am informed that all 5 studios in the building will be used as shooting stages, with Studio 3 being made to resemble the old Riverside Studios during the 1970s for one particular scene. Filming is due to commence in March 2021. At least the empty studios are being used for something productive before being torn down, which is a small gem of good news.
