"We tried our holiday in the sun in the isle of Jersey and that didn't work. They threw us out." - Johnny Rotten

In early 1977, The Sex Pistols were at the centre of a maelstrom of controversy. Unable to walk the streets of Britain safely, the band were desperate to escape the mountain of publicity. An attempt to visit Jersey failed, as local police escorted the band from the island within 24 hours.

This is the footage that a Channel film crew captured, minutes before the band boarded the plane out.
