Grundy's riotous confrontation with The Sex Pistols, from the 01/12/1976 edition, has passed into folklore as a TV interview from hell.
Grundy intended this to be a probing investigation of Punk, but the episode quickly became an hilarious farce when he prompted Johnny Rotten, Glenn Matlock, Paul Cook and Steve Jones to say something outrageous.
Well-known among journalists for his love of pubs, Grundy was accused of drinking before going on air, since he told the Pistols, "You're more drunk than I am.' He claimed it was a joke, but Thames suspended him for two weeks.
